Our story has always started with you. Every time your heart skips a beat when you’re glassing a mountain and that bull appears; every time you feel the adrenaline sizzle in your blood at a “Shooter ready?” call; every time you bring us along for range day; and every time you trust us with your life in the line of duty you’re telling the story of what it means to belong to Vortex Nation.
Built to be carried as a standard piece of equipment and close-at-hand, the Solo R/T Tactical Monocular gives a closer look when needed. Features the Vortex R/T Ranging Reticle with reticle focus for accurate range estimation and calling shots. And with the integral utility clip, it attaches to webbing or other flat-edged surfaces for quick external access. The 36mm Solo Tactical R/T monocular delivers bright images, is compact, and easy to handle. Constructed to withstand use in just about any field condition, o-ring seals and nitrogen purging make the Solo a fully waterproof, internally fogproof monocular.
Hashmarked ranging reticle using mrad based subtension lines for ranging, holdover, and windage corrections. Quick-ranging silhouettes. The R/T ranging reticle is based on a form of angular measurement called the milliradian (mrad for short). These angular measurements allow a user to calculate ranges when comparing the reticle to objects of known dimension. The key to effective ranging using this reticle is knowing common objects in your vicinity and their measurements.
Designed for quick single-handed operation, simply place the thumb and forefinger on the focus wheel and turn to move lens forward or backward.
• Top focus wheel adjusts the reticle.
• Bottom focus wheel adjusts the image.
