Designed for medium-to-long-range field shooting, the ZeroTech Thrive X 4-16x50 ZEROPLEX Capped Elevation Riflescope delivers a compelling combination of practical optical performance and field-ready durability at a price point that doesn't ask you to compromise. Built around a 30mm one-piece tube machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium, this scope is nitrogen-purged and rated to IPX7 waterproofing, making it well suited to the variable and often unforgiving conditions Australian hunters and range shooters regularly face. The ZEROPLEX reticle sits in the second focal plane, remaining clean and uncluttered across the full 4-16x magnification range, with reticle calibration referenced at 16x for precise holdover use when it counts. Fully multi-coated optics combined with ZeroTech's proprietary Weathershield lens coating work together to maximise light transmission and protect the glass from scratches, keeping your sight picture clear from the early morning stalk through to last light.

ZeroTech Thrive X 4-16x50 ZEROPLEX Capped Elevation Riflescope Key Features

• Magnification and Objective Lens: 4-16x variable magnification with a 50mm objective lens delivers a wide field of view at low power (9.4m at 100m) and a refined sight picture at 16x, with an exit pupil range of 12.5mm down to 3.0mm to support low-light performance.
• Main Tube Construction: 30mm one-piece tube machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium provides a strong, lightweight foundation and broad compatibility with 30mm ring mounts.
• Second Focal Plane ZEROPLEX Reticle: The ZEROPLEX is a clean, duplex-style reticle favoured for its speed and simplicity. Sitting in the SFP, the reticle subtension is calibrated at 16x, so holdover references remain consistent at that power setting.
• Lens Coatings: Fully Multi-Coated (FMC) optics across all air-to-glass surfaces, combined with ZeroTech's proprietary Weathershield coating for enhanced light transmission and scratch resistance.
• Capped Low-Profile Turrets: 0.25 MOA per click adjustments with 60 MOA of total elevation and 60 MOA of windage travel. Low-profile capped design minimises the risk of accidental adjustment in the field. The elevation turret is also compatible with ZeroTech's Adjustable BDC Turret upgrade (sold separately).
• Windage Turret Limiter Pin: A fitted limiter pin on the windage turret prevents over-travel and keeps adjustments within a reliable, repeatable range during field use.
• Parallax Adjustment: Side-focus parallax adjustment ranges from 9.2m (10yd) to infinity, allowing precise target focus and parallax elimination across a wide range of shooting distances.
• Eye Relief and Ocular: 82-85mm of eye relief provides a comfortable and safe shooting position. The fast-focus ocular features a lockable dioptre ring with +2 / -2 adjustment, so once reticle sharpness is dialled in it stays fixed.
• Weatherproofing: Nitrogen-purged and shockproof construction with an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning the scope can withstand submersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes without ingress.
• Weight: 622g (21.9 oz), offering a practical balance of durability and packability for field carry.
• In the Box: Ships with a heavy-duty neoprene scope cover, microfibre lens cloth, reticle chart, and two ZeroTech vinyl transfer stickers.

The Thrive X 4-16x50 sits firmly in ZeroTech's expanding Thrive X lineup and represents a sensible, well-specified choice for hunters and sport shooters looking for a capable second-focal-plane scope without unnecessary complexity. The clean ZEROPLEX reticle, solid turret feel, and durable all-weather build make it equally at home on a sporting rifle at the range or out in the paddock when conditions get rough.
