Built for hunters who demand precision at extended ranges, the ZeroTech Thrive X 4-16x50 PHR 3 BDC Turret Riflescope is a seriously capable optic designed with open-country hunting firmly in mind. The 4-16x magnification range paired with a 50mm objective lens gives you genuine versatility from close timber work right out to long-range field shots, and the fully multi-coated lenses ensure you're pulling in as much light as possible across the full zoom range. At its core, the Thrive X is built around ZeroTech's adjustable BDC turret system, which lets you dial in up to five distance reference markers for fast, confident holds on game without fumbling through mental calculations in the field. This is a scope that bridges the gap between accessible price point and genuine performance, and it ships with everything you need to get it configured and zeroed straight out of the box.

ZeroTech Thrive X 4-16x50 PHR 3 BDC Turret Riflescopes Key Features

• Magnification Range: 4-16x variable magnification provides a wide field of view at lower power for close work and sufficient reach at 16x for extended-range shots in open country.
• Objective Lens Diameter: 50mm objective lens maximises light gathering, which is particularly useful during low-light hunting conditions at dawn and dusk.
• Main Tube: 30mm main tube machined from 6061-T6 aluminium, the same alloy grade used across aerospace and defence manufacturing, offering high strength with minimal weight penalty.
• Reticle: Glass-etched PHR 3 reticle on the Second Focal Plane (SFP). Subtension values are calibrated and exact at 16x magnification, so ranging and holdover work is accurate when the scope is dialled to max power.
• BDC Turret System: The adjustable BDC turret allows you to set up to five custom distance reference markers matched to your specific load and zero. A standard 0.25 MOA turret dial and cap are also included if you prefer a traditional click-to-elevation setup.
• Click Value and Adjustment Travel: 0.25 MOA per click with 60 MOA total elevation travel and 60 MOA total windage travel, giving substantial range for zeroing and ballistic compensation across varied shooting distances.
• Windage Turret Limiter Pin: A fitted windage turret limiter pin prevents accidental movement of your windage zero once set, reducing the risk of an unintended adjustment in the field.
• Field of View: 28.1 feet (8.57m) at 100 yards (91.4m) at 4x, narrowing to 6.9 feet (2.1m) at 100 yards at 16x, which is a competitive FOV for a scope in this class.
• Parallax Adjustment: Side-focus parallax adjustable from 10 yards (9.1m) to infinity, allowing accurate parallax correction across a wide range of shooting distances.
• Eye Relief: 3.2 to 3.35 inches (8.13 to 8.51cm) of eye relief provides a reasonable margin of comfort and safety, particularly on centrefire rifles with heavier recoil.
• IPX7 Waterproof Rating: IPX7 rated, meaning the scope can withstand submersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes, and will handle rain, heavy dew and wet conditions without issue.
• Weight: 22.4 oz (635g), which is a manageable carry weight for a 50mm objective scope intended for field use.
• In the Box: Ships with the Thrive X BDC Turret (fitted), Standard Turret Dial and Turret Cap, 1.5mm Hex Key, 3 x Spare Grub Screws for the BDC Turret, Neoprene Stretch Fit Scope Cover, High Quality Microfibre Cloth, Reticle Chart, and a Welcome Card with QR Code linking to the instruction manual.
