Element Optics Helix Gen II 6-24X50 FFP APR-2D 0.1 MRAD 30mm Rifle Scope
The Element Optics Helix Gen II 6-24x50 FFP APR-2D 0.1 MRAD 30mm is a properly capable mid-to-long range scope that leans into detail and usability without overcomplicating things. The 6–24x magnification gives you plenty of reach for distance work, while the 50mm objective and fully multi-coated lenses keep the image bright and clear even as conditions fade. The APR-2D MRAD first focal plane reticle is the more detailed “tree-style” option, giving you lots of reference points for wind and elevation holds when you need to shoot without dialing everything. You also get precise 0.1 MRAD turrets, a tool-free zero-stop, and consistent tracking that makes adjustments predictable and repeatable. It’s a strong all-round option for range shooting, PRS-style use, or field setups where you want both dialing and holdover capability in one scope.

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!
