Long-range precision shooting demands a reticle that stays true at every magnification — second focal plane designs shift subtended values as you zoom, forcing mental math or limiting you to one magnification. The Alpen Apex 4.5-27x50 puts a first focal plane glass-etched WBDC-TACT illuminated reticle in a 27x scope where holdovers and windage marks stay accurate whether you're scanning at 4.5x or confirming at 27x, with the optical quality and 50mm objective brightness to back up the magnification.

Key Features

• First Focal Plane WBDC-TACT Reticle — A glass-etched, illuminated reticle that scales with magnification for accurate holdovers and subtension measurements at any zoom setting. Illumination is powered by a standard CR2032 battery with adjustable intensity for low-light conditions.

• Precise MOA Turret System — True 0.25 MOA click adjustments with 25 MOA per rotation and a ±40 MOA elevation and windage range. A zero stop function ensures reliable return to zero without checking turret positions.

• Fully Multi-Coated Optics — Multi-layer lens coatings deliver bright, high-contrast images from dawn through last light, with sharp edge-to-edge clarity across the full 4.5–27x zoom range.

• Side Parallax Correction — Adjustable from 25 yards to infinity for a sharp, parallax-free image at any engagement distance, from mid-range practice to extended long-range shooting.

• Built for Harsh Conditions — Waterproof, nitrogen-purged for fog resistance, and rated to withstand 1,000 G of recoil in a rugged 6061-T6 aluminum chassis.

• Accessory-Ready Out of the Box — Ships with 30 mm Picatinny mounting rings, flip-up lens covers, sunshade, honeycomb anti-reflection filter, and cleaning pen — everything you need to mount and shoot with no add-on purchases.

Ideal For

• Long-range precision shooters who need holdovers and subtension measurements that stay accurate across magnifications — the FFP reticle eliminates the guesswork of second focal plane scopes at varying zoom levels.

• Hunters who dial DOPE and demand precise, repeatable turret tracking — 0.25 MOA clicks with zero stop let you dial confidently and return to zero blind.

• Shooters in demanding environments — fog, rain, recoil from magnum calibers — the 6061-T6 construction, nitrogen purge, and 1,000 G shock rating deliver reliability when conditions turn harsh.

• Value-driven marksmen who want FFP precision, quality glass, and a complete accessory package without a premium-brand price tag.
