Product Description
The Nikko Stirling Panamax 3-9x40 is a highly versatile and budget-friendly riflescope designed specifically to give hunters a significant visual advantage in the field. Its standout feature is an ultra-wide angle optical design, which provides a field of view that is nearly 20% wider than standard 1-inch scopes on the market. This makes it incredibly effective for fast target acquisition in dense bushland, allowing you to easily track moving game like pigs or deer before they slip into cover.
Built around a classic 3-9x magnification range and a 40mm objective lens, this scope delivers an excellent balance of close-range speed and medium-range precision. It comes equipped with a Half Mil Dot (HMD) reticle, which provides exact holdover points for elevation and windage without cluttering your target picture. To ensure brilliant image clarity during critical dawn and dusk hunting hours, the lenses are fully multi-coated to maximise light transmission and heavily reduce glare.
Durability is a primary focus of the Panamax series. The 1-inch aircraft-grade aluminium main tube is nitrogen-purged and completely O-ring sealed, guaranteeing it remains 100% waterproof and fog-proof in harsh, damp conditions. Complete with crisp 1/4 MOA adjustable turrets and a fast-focus eyebell, this scope offers premium, highly practical features that punch well above its price point.
Key Features
-
20% Wider Field of View: The advanced internal optical design offers an expansive visual field, making it significantly easier to pick up and track moving targets in thick cover.
-
Half Mil Dot Reticle: Features a versatile, glass-etched HMD reticle that gives you precise reference marks for bullet drop on extended shots.
-
Fully Multi-Coated Optics: Premium lens coatings draw in maximum light, ensuring sharp, high-contrast imagery in low-light environments.
-
Fast-Focus Eyebell: Allows you to quickly and easily bring the reticle into perfect, razor-sharp focus tailored to your specific eyesight.
-
Rugged 1-Inch Tube: The lightweight, one-piece aluminium main tube is highly shockproof and easily handles the recoil of heavy centrefire hunting calibres.
-
Weatherproof Construction: Fully nitrogen-filled and sealed to completely eliminate internal fogging and moisture ingress during wet weather hunts.
