In this comprehensive guide, we will break down all the features and benefits, as well as some of the best Element Optics rifle scopes available at Futurama, to help you make an informed choice that complements your style of shooting or hunting.

A Brief History Of Element Optics

Element Optics is an optics manufacturer with roots in Sweden, South Africa, and the USA. They pride themselves on being a team of passionate, skilled, and professional shooters who design and manufacture premium-quality rifle scopes and other optics. Touting decades of personal experience as competitive professional shooters, the Element Optics team has provided the hunting and shooting world with their unique insights into what the modern sport of shooting requires.

Why Choose Element Optics?

There are a plethora of reasons to choose Element Optics as your go-to rifle scope choice, whether you’d be using them for hunting or target shooting. Firstly, all Element Optics rifle scopes undergo some of the most stringent quality testing in the industry before they are put to market.

All Element Optics testing includes waterproofing, fog-proofing, and shock-proofing. In addition to these basic quality assurance test phases, Element Optics goes the extra mile with their testing for turret tracking tests, return-to-zero tests, and recoil simulations of 1000x1000Gs. Their unique promise is that only once all these tests have been successfully completed will they sign off on their test card to indicate that their products have passed.

They also offer a platinum lifetime warranty on all their optics, giving you the peace of mind that you’ll have a sturdy and robust product for years to come, and if your Element Optic product stops working as promised, simply contact them and they’ll get to you with a solution.

Key Features Of Element Optics

Not all glass is created equal, and Element Optics, despite being relatively new on the scene when compared to other rifle scope manufacturers, stands apart for several reasons.

Flawless Magnification

Magnification is undoubtedly one of the main features that shooters consider when searching for a rifle scope. Of course, the decision you make will largely be determined by the style of shooting you plan on doing. If you’re hunting boar, for example, you might only need a scope with 1x magnification, but if you’re a field target shooter, you might need up to 50x.

Element Optics offers three distinct models in their “versatile” magnification range: the Nexus 5-20x50, Helix 6-24x50, and Titan 5-25x56. All Element Optics rifle scopes are lauded for their exceptional optical quality, durability, and, of course, their magnification.

Remarkable Durability

When it comes to any rifle scope, you should opt for one that stands the test of time. Element Optics stacks up to some of the finest manufacturers in the industry like Leupold and Zeiss, as their scopes are designed to hold up in the harshest of conditions.

Strict Quality Control

Element Optics pride themselves on their stringent quality control processes and have made it their number one priority to ensure that their offerings are some of the best in the world. All their products go through a comprehensive set of quality control inspections, both during and after assembly.

Precision & Accuracy

Of course, your rifle scope should boast top-tier precision and accuracy, and Element Optics offers unrivalled performance in this regard. They’re known for their versatile and precise adjustments, giving the shooter the power to make accurate windage and elevation adjustments for long-range shooting. Moreover, the reticles found in Element Optics are carefully designed and thoroughly tested to ensure fast target acquisition and effective holdover calculations.

Element Optics Scopes at Futurama

At Futurama, we pride ourselves on our diverse selection of rifle scopes for all levels of shooting, and we have a variety of Element Optics scopes to suit every need and application. Here are some of our favourites:

Element Optics Nexus 5-20x50 FFP Rifle Scope

Elements Optics Nexus 5-20x50 FFP is an outstanding rifle scope that boasts innovative features including tool-free tactical turrets, zero stops, and removable throw levers. The Nexus is one of the best 30 mm scopes on the market, with a lightweight, compact design crafted with aircraft-grade aluminium.

The Nexus is also crafted with advanced, fully multi-coated lenses with an anti-fouling layer, as well as being waterproof, fog-proof, shock-proof, and nitrogen-purged.

Element Optics Titan 5-25x56 FFP Rifle Scope

Element Optics Titan 5-25x56 FFP Rifle scope is another stellar favourite here at Futurama. Widely considered to be a game-changing addition to the industry, the Titan is developed with precision-engineered internals and a superior turret system. The Titan also boasts a 34mm tube and HD glass, allowing for increased elevation (windage) range when taking position for long distance shots. The Titan also features a 56mm objective lens with HD glass, giving you that ultra-sharp, clear image with a large field of view.

Element Optics Helix HDLR 2-16x50 SFP Rifle Scope

Last, but definitely not least, is the Element Optics HELIX HDLR 2-16x50 SFP. The most affordable of our favourite Element Optics rifle scopes, this scope features HD glass, reticle illumination, a substantia magnification range, and bolstered elevation travel.

This scope also features an Element Optics favourite, their “Tool-Free” system, as well as Zero-Stop on its Elevation turret for headache-free use when shooting at extended ranges. The design team at Element has also capped the windage of this scope for that “hunter-friendly,” compact feel.

Selecting The Right Element Rifle Scope For Your Needs

As we mentioned earlier, not all glass is the same; therefore, selecting the correct Element Optics scope will take some careful consideration of several key factors. These factors include your shooting style and technique, the game you might be hunting, if you’re hunting at all or target shooting, and naturally, your budget.

Hunting Or Target Shooting?

When considering which Element Optics' scope to purchase, the first question you should be asking yourself is: What kind of shooting will I be primarily partaking in? Will you be hunting or target shooting? Will you mainly engage in long-range shooting or close-range shooting?

What Sort Of Magnification Do You Need?

When deciding on your rifle scope’s magnification, you need to consider your shooting requirements. If you’re shooting mostly at close-range, you should opt for a scope with lower magnification, for example, 1-4x or 1-6x, as these magnification ranges provide a wider field of view and faster target acquisition. On the other hand, scopes with higher magnification, like 4-16x or 6-24x, are more suitable for long-range precision shooting, as they are ideal for more accurate shot placement as well as target identification at longer distances.

Consider Your Reticle Options

Lest we forget, always remember to consider the reticle options available. Different kinds of reticles provide unique benefits. For instance, illuminated reticles are incredibly effective in low-light hunting scenarios, as they enhance visibility and aid in easy target acquisition.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, non-illuminated reticles are simple and durable and tend to be the obvious choice if you’re shooting in a wider range of conditions.

Don’t Skimp On Build Quality

Lastly, it’s of vital importance to make sure that the scope you’re going for aligns with the conditions you’ll be using it in. We advise choosing a rifle scope that is both durable and capable of withstanding a myriad of weather conditions. Ensure that the scope you’re going for includes waterproofing to protect against rain and moisture, fog-proofing for those misty morning hunts, and shock-resistance to ensure that your scope can withstand impact and recoil.

How To Care For Your Element Optics Scope

Hunting and shooting are not, nor should they be, inexpensive pastimes. When selecting your rifle scope, you want something that is purpose-built to last, and products from Element Optics fit the bill. To ensure that you get the longest lifespan out of your rifle scope, it's paramount that you implement a robust maintenance routine. Always check for any debris or moisture that might accumulate on your lenses over time, and make sure that all components and screws are in place after use. Be sure to store your rifle scope in a dry, safe place when you’re not using it.

Lastly, we always recommend that you follow the manufacturers’ precisely when it comes to specific maintenance to ensure that your scope remains in optimal working condition.

Clean Your Scope Regularly

This goes without saying, but it still makes sense to mention it. Any expensive piece of gear should be regularly cleaned. Ensure that you always clean your scope’s lenses and exterior to keep them in tip-top shape. Use a soft brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove any dust or debris buildup from the lenses. After this, use a decent microfibre cloth and lens cleaner to carefully wipe down your lenses to ensure that they remain clean and free from any nasty scratches.

Storing Your Scope

As mentioned above, when you’re not using your scope, especially in the off-season, it’s best to keep it safe in a cool, dry environment. Always use your lens caps to protect your lenses from dust and scratches.

Regularly Inspect Your Rifle Scope

Lastly, take extra care to regularly inspect your rifle scope after each use to look for any signs of damage or wear and tear. Carefully check your mounting rings to ensure that they are firmly in place. Also, always check for rust, and if you spot any issues, we recommend dealing with them immediately to prevent any additional damage in the long run.
