Element Optics Helix Gen II 6-24X50 FFP APR-1C 1/4 MOA 30mm Rifle Scope
The Element Optics Helix Gen II 6-24x50 FFP APR-1C 1/4 MOA 30mm is a solid, no-nonsense precision scope that sits in that sweet spot between hunting versatility and proper long-range capability. The 6–24x magnification gives you plenty of reach for distance shooting, while still keeping things usable at lower power for general field or range work. The 50mm objective lens and fully multi-coated glass deliver a bright, clear image with good contrast across the zoom range. The APR-1C first focal plane reticle in MOA is clean and practical, giving you useful holdover references without making the sight picture feel crowded. You also get precise 1/4 MOA turrets, a tool-free zero-stop system, and consistent tracking designed for reliable dialing and repeatability. It’s a straightforward, dependable choice for target shooting, long-range practice, and all-round field use where you want performance without unnecessary complexity.

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 20 MOA 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!
