3P1.5-6x42IR and 3P2.5-10x56IR both have an illuminated dot in the centre of the standard Plex reticle to assist when shooting in low light or with a spotlight.  The dot is illuminated in green, which contrasts sharply when used with a red-filtered spotlight, for hunting in total darkness.  The dot can be set to one of ten brightness settings or switched off for normal daytime use.

Both these strong one-piece satin black 30mm maintube scopes have generous windage and elevation adjustment range, and European style fast-focus eyepieces.  The 2.5-10x56mm version has a parallax adjustment wheel on the saddle to compensate for parallax from 20 metres to infinity.

Tool-less windage and elevation zeroing is achieved by a new push-lock system, and the finger-adjustable controls are graduated in 1/4 MOA clicks.

Lynx 3P2.5-10x56IR is suitable for use in bushveld from about 25 metres, and for long range shots up to about 500 metres.  Lynx 3P1.5-6x42IR is good for bushveld use from about 15 metres, and for medium range shots up to about 300 metres.  The 1.5-6x is also suitable for dangerous game hunting at low magnification.
