A LONG HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE
The Colt Optics precision rifle scope lineup is built to handle everything from fast, close-range shooting to precise long-distance work. No matter the application, these scopes are designed to deliver clear glass, dependable performance, and a consistent, confidence-inspiring feel every time you get behind the rifle. Each model features a durable 34mm tube and a first focal plane reticle, so your holds and measurements stay accurate at any magnification.
Every scope in the lineup offers smooth, repeatable adjustments and reliable tracking you can trust. Higher magnification models use locking turrets with a zero stop for secure dialing at long range, while the more compact options feature capped turrets for added protection and a streamlined profile. High-quality German-engineered glass, wide fields of view, and comfortable eye relief help you find targets quickly and stay on them, even in challenging conditions.
The lineup includes a versatile 1-8x LPVO available in both MRAD and MOA for fast, all-around performance; a balanced 3-18x optic that blends mobility with extended reach; and a powerful 4.5-27x model built for serious long-range shooting. Each scope shares the same design philosophy and performance standards, making it easy to choose the right magnification and reticle without re-learning your setup.
Whether it’s mounted on a carbine, a precision gas gun, or a long-range bolt rifle, Colt Optics rifle scopes are built to hold zero, track accurately, and help shooters perform with confidence at any distance.
