BRIEF DESCRIPTION NC 3-12x50 is the daytime riflescope with variable magnification, which is designed for being used on various kinds of weapons. The Mil-dot reticle of the riflescope is positioned in the focal plane of the eyepiece (second focal plane), thus providing permanent size of the reticle regardless of the riflescope variable magnification. This creates favorable conditions for acquisition of small targets at long distances, due to the fact that the reticle covers only small portion of the target at large magnification. The riflescope is equipped with central system parallax adjustment, which works for ranges from 50 meters to infinity. The reticle is highlighted with red LED with seven modes of brightness. The riflescope incorporates windage adjustment (the multi-revolving scheme) and elevation (singlerevolving scheme), allowing to adjust shooting ballistics in wide range. 8 2.
