The gap between a 3-9x deer scope and a true 25x target optic is where most hunters live, and it is where most sub-$300 scopes either throw away magnification at the top or eyebox at the bottom. The Alpen Kodiak 4-16x44 sits squarely in that middle lane with 16x top-end power and adjustable side parallax from 10 yards to infinity — enough glass for meaningful shots past 300 yards without losing the close-in field that open country hunting demands.

Key Features

• 4-16x magnification range — wider and longer than a standard 3-9x, tighter and lighter than a 6-24x varmint rig
• 44 mm objective with fully multi-coated optics for clean edge-to-edge light transmission
• Accuplex reticle — tapered-duplex pattern that draws the eye to center without obstructing target detail
• Side parallax adjustment 10 yds – ∞ — crisp focus at every practical hunting distance
• 1/4 MOA clicks with ±25 MOA elevation and windage travel; 15 MOA per rotation
• Second focal plane reticle for constant visual size at any magnification
• 30 mm aluminum alloy tube; waterproof, fogproof, and 800 G shock-rated
• Ships with Picatinny rings — ready to mount on AR-platform and bolt-action flat-tops out of the box

Ideal For

• Open-country hunters needing honest 300-600 yard capability without committing to a 6-24x target scope
• Crossover shooters building one rig for big game and occasional varmint work
• AR-15 precision builds where the included Picatinny rings save an accessory purchase
