German Precision Optics has a new long-range hunting riflescope called SPECTRA 6X 4.5-27x50i. According to GPO, this model is perfect for hunting all North American game species, from small game to elk. The iCONTROL microdot lighting has been incorporated into the MOAi ballistic reticle, to aid with longer shots. The scope comes with a 30mm main tube, GPO bright lens coating technology, doubleHD objective lens technology, and PASSIONtrac zero-stop locking turrets with 1/4″ at 100 yards turret-adjustment. To help you change the magnification, there’s a removable magnification throw lever included.

GPO’s SPECTRA 6X 4.5-27x50i SFP Long-Range Hunting Riflescope
RICHMOND, Va. — Designed as the ultimate long-range, high-performance riflescope, the German Precision Optics (GPO) SPECTRA 6X 4.5-27x50i SFP has been built to give premium performance for those who hunt game in environments where shooting at extended ranges is often required.
“The SPECTRA
6X 4.5-27x50i second focal plane is our ultimate long-range hunting scope,” said Michael Jensen, GPO, USA owner and CEO. “It has every bell and whistle the most discerning shooter and hunter desires in a second focal plane design. And while the quality and features meet or exceed that of more expensive brands, it’s offered at a very affordable price.” With a second focal plane riflescope, the reticle is placed behind the magnification lenses on the erector tube assembly, and the reticle remains the same size as the scope’s variable power is turned up or down, making a fine subtension ballistic reticle with an illuminated center micro-dot for longer shots.The SPECTRA
4.5-27x50i SFP’s large 50mm objective lens system transmits a great deal of light to your eye, while the 4.5-27X variable power range gives you ample magnification for both close and the longest-range shots. Throw in the proprietary iCONTROLmicrodot illumination and shot placement on dark targets will make you a believer. This scope comes standard with DoubleHD
* GPObright: A proprietary coating process that maximizes light transmission through each surface of an optical element. As light hits an optical surface, normal uncoated high-performance glass can reflect up to 5 percent of that light, redirecting this light so it does not transmit through the optical system. However, when these high-performance lenses are vacuum coated with GPObright lens coatings, up to 99.7 percent of the available light passes through each optical surface. Furthermore, when every surface of the entire optical system is properly coated, total light transmission can reach up to more than 92 percent, making the optical image of a GPO binocular or riflescope “bright,” even in the lowest light conditions.
* Double HD Objective Lens Technology: This is the final product, created when multiple extra-low dispersion lenses are chemically laminated to make a single, multilayer high-performance optical lens. Laminating multiple lenses minimizes light reflection on the surface of multiple lenses, creates enhanced resolution and color contrast images, and minimizes chromatic aberrations. This benefit is clearly visible with all GPO products supporting this feature. This high-performance process is routinely found in the photographic market and with the highest-quality photographic lens manufacturers but has now transitioned into premium sporting optics.
* iControl Illumination: This assures users always have a live battery by automatically powering down the illumination when the electronic module has been stationary for more than 3 hours, and alerts users when the battery has only 15 percent remaining battery life.
This scope is crafted from a one-piece 30mm anodized, nitrogen-filled aluminum main tube that has zero-stop locking turrets, precise ¼ MOA click adjustments, CCW click rotation, removable magnification throw lever, 3rd turret parallax adjustment, fast focus ocular, and multiple rotation engraving. It will be available in the spring of 2023 for a suggested retail price of $1249.99.
