Element Optics Helix Gen II 4-16x44 FFP MPR-1C 0.1 MRAD 30mm Rifle Scope
The Element Optics Helix Gen II 4-16x44 FFP MPR-1C 0.1 MRAD 30mm is a compact, no-nonsense precision scope that takes the original Helix platform and refines it for better tracking, usability, and all-round performance. The 4–16x magnification keeps it versatile enough for everything from close to mid-range work up to proper distance shooting, while the 44mm objective and fully multi-coated optics give you a bright, clear image in real field conditions. The MPR-1C first focal plane MRAD reticle is clean but still detailed enough for accurate holds and wind calls, making it very practical for PRS-style shooting or range use. You also get a 30mm tube, 0.1 MRAD clicks, a tool-free zero-stop, and improved turret system design for consistent, repeatable adjustments. It’s a lightweight, reliable all-rounder that balances precision features with field-friendly simplicity.

The HELIX GEN 2 continues the legacy of our original HELIX line of riflescopes, with industry-leading reliability and performance taken to the next level with new features and further design improvements.
The important things come first: Reliable tracking, intelligent reticles, innovative features and a user-friendly turret system. The turret system is tool-free and now features 8 MRAD per revolution. The zero-stop mechanism ensures you never lose track of where you are, and the First Focal Plane reticle ensures precise reticle calibration at all magnifications. Optically, the familiar 4x erector system is complemented by a new design allowing for a larger field of view and a more forgiving eye-box. Stringent quality control checks are in place to ensure repeatable performance under harsh conditions, and if something goes wrong, the Platinum Lifetime Warranty has you covered!
