Element Optics Nexus Gen II 4-25x50

• 4-25x magnification range: covers everything from closer woodland shots to deliberate long-range work, so one riflescope can move between hunting, target shooting, and general crossover use.
• First focal plane illuminated reticle: the reticle scales with magnification, keeping holdovers and ranging references consistent across the zoom range while the red illumination helps the aiming point stand out in dim light.
• Locking capped turrets with zero stop: the design protects settings during transport and field carry, while still allowing precise dialing and a fast, repeatable return to zero after elevation changes.
• 30 mm lightweight main tube: combines a practical adjustment range with a more compact overall build, helping keep rifle balance manageable on hunting and all-round shooting setups.
• Side parallax from 10m to infinity: lets the image and reticle stay properly aligned across short and long distances, which supports sharper aiming and more confident shot placement.

About the Element Optics Nexus Series

The Element Optics Nexus series sits at the serious end of the company’s riflescope lineup and is aimed at shooters who want a scope that can bridge hunting, competition, and precision shooting. Element positions the Nexus family as a flagship-style platform, built around practical mechanical features rather than unnecessary bulk. Across the series, shooters see a consistent focus on tool-free resettable turrets, a mechanical zero stop, and a removable magnification throw lever that makes fast power changes easier under field conditions.

Optically, the series uses fully multi-coated lenses with an anti-fouling layer to support contrast, light transmission, and easier maintenance in poor weather. The Nexus concept also gives users a choice between simpler and more detailed reticle layouts, with options in both MRAD and MOA to suit different dialing and holdover preferences. In practical terms, that makes the series appealing to shooters who want one riflescope family that can handle varied distances, changing terrain, and different shooting styles without giving up precise tracking or a clean optical presentation.

About the Element Optics Nexus Gen II 4-25x50

The Element Optics Nexus Gen II 4-25x50 is built as a true crossover riflescope, combining a 4-25x magnification range with a 50 mm objective lens in a compact 30 mm format. That combination gives it broad usefulness: at the lower end it remains practical for general hunting and positional shooting, while the upper end provides the image scale needed for load development, steel targets, and more deliberate long-range work. With a field of view of 9.73 m/100m to 1.57 m/100m, it balances situational awareness at lower power with the precision needed at higher magnification.

The first focal plane reticle is a key part of how this scope works in practice. Because the reticle stays proportional to the target throughout the zoom range, holdovers and ranging references remain valid whether the shooter is dialing down for a wider view or turning up for a more exact shot. Red illumination helps the center aiming area remain visible against dark backgrounds or in low light without changing the reticle’s underlying function.

Mechanically, this model is set up for repeatable dialing. Its locking capped turrets, double-turn elevation system, and zero stop allow confident adjustment while reducing the chance of accidental movement in the field. The side parallax adjustment from 10m to infinity makes the scope useful on everything from short-range practice to extended-distance shooting. At 350.00 mm and 870.00 g, it stays compact enough for mountain and all-round hunting rifles while still offering the adjustment range and control expected from a precision-oriented riflescope.

About Element Optics

Element Optics AB is based in Mariestad, Sweden, and focuses on riflescopes, electro-optics, and shooting accessories for sporting, hunting, and competition use with both airguns and firearms. The company began work on its first riflescope, the Nexus, in 2018, and its product families now include Helix, Titan, Nexus, and Theos. Element’s product range also extends to rangefinders and binoculars, showing a broader emphasis on practical field optics rather than riflescopes alone.

A notable part of the brand’s identity is its international design approach. The design team includes members from Sweden, South Africa, and the United States, which reflects the company’s effort to build products around the needs of hunters, sport shooters, and competition users across different disciplines. In this category, Element Optics is known for combining modern reticle systems, user-focused turret layouts, and practical optical design in scopes intended for regular field and range use.
