Sightmark Presidio 2.5-15x50 HDR2
The Presidio 2.5-15x50 HDR-2 riflescope, with its large zoom and hunting reticle, is perfect for all hunting applications.
Sightmark is known for its extensive catalog of riflescopes and observation optics, covering virtually every need commercial users may have—and by "commercial users," we mean both hunters and shooters, as well as some professional users such as local police (especially in the US) and private security or game control operators.
One example is the Presidio riflescope line, and more specifically the Sightmark Presidio 2.5-15x50 HDR2 SFP: a market alternative designed primarily for hunting, but with features suitable for various sporting applications on bolt-action or semi-automatic rifles.
The Presidio 2.5-15x50 features a MOA-based HDR2 reticle, with a 0.2 MOA red-illuminated center dot for low-light shooting and 5 and 10 MOA index marks on both axes, adjustable through 90 MOA of elevation and windage via ¼ MOA clicks, and parallax adjustment from ten yards to infinity.
The reticle is engraved in the second focal plane, meaning its size remains consistent regardless of the selected magnification level. This improves target visibility, accuracy—a second focal plane reticle is typically thinner—and the overall usability and durability of the optic. Optics with a second focal plane reticle generally require fewer components and are therefore more robust and easier to use.
The Sightmark Presidio 2.5-15x50 HDR2 SFP is built around a one-piece 30mm aluminum tube with a matte black finish, nitrogen-filled, and features a rheostat powered by a single CR2032 battery that offers a minimum of 80 to a maximum of 1,000 hours of continuous operation depending on the selected reticle illumination level (six in total). The eyepiece features a 6:1 zoom ratio with a quick-adjustment screw-in lever.
The lenses and optical components are multi-coated, and the turrets are protected, knurled, and offer audible and tactile feedback when handling; in addition, the Sightmark Presidio 2.5-15x50 HDR2 SFP is IP67 certified (dust-proof and resistant to immersion in water up to one meter deep for one hour), can be used in temperatures ranging from -20 to +65 degrees and is resistant to shock and recoil up to .338 caliber.
Measuring 318 millimeters in length and weighing 745 grams, the 2.5-15x50 HDR2 SFP model is reasonably compact and therefore easy to mount on even compact weapons, or in any case where the weapon/optics system needs to be kept compact.
