(GunReports.com) — Hi-Lux Optics has updated its CMR1-4x24mm model tactical scope with a new reticle designed for the standard AK-47 service round.
The $459 CMR-AK762 is identical in every way to the CMR1-4x24mm, except for the reticle, which has been designed around the ballistics of the 7.62x39mm cartridge.
The new reticle still incorporates the illuminated center circle and dot, plus ranging brackets for getting on target quickly and knowing the range when a shot or shots must be taken immediately.
For longer range work with the 7.62x39mm round, the reticle features bullet drop compensating hold over lines to 900 meters. The same hold over lines can be used to 550 meters for target work with rifles in .300 BLK or .300 Whisper. At 4x the reticle also includes a feature for estimating range to 1,000 yards.
This new version of the CMR scope is built with a rigid matte blue black 30mm aluminum tube, and the variable magnification ring can be taken from 1x to 4x and back. Brightness of the illuminated center reticle can be adjusted as needed thanks to an 11-setting rheostat.
The scope also incorporates the Hi-Lux Optics “Zero Locking System,” which allows windage and elevation alignments to be locked in place, but still allows minor adjustments for adapting the setting to shooting conditions or range. At any time, it can be returned to the original settings.
Like other Hi-Lux scopes, the CMR-AK762 comes with fully multi-coated lenses and a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
