 The IR4 reticle with the illuminating dot, which will operate in either red or green, is just the ticket in poor light conditions.

As I saw him enter the clearing I quickly turned the IR rheostat control on, and as he paused at the base of the tree I placed the green dot on his shoulder and squeezed the trigger. The 300 grain Nosler completely knocked the bear off of his feet and that was that. End of story. I can tell you that the illuminating dot made precise shot placement easy when it would have been a bit dicey and definitely slower preparing for that shot with regular crosshairs.

I believe the style and magnification range of this scope and its companion in the Dangerous Game Series, the EGR-IR4 1.25-4x26, are an ideal choice for the big bores. Rifles that are rarely used beyond 150 yards, but are routinely used at close range and require a scope with a wide field of view for quick target acquisition and excellent light gathering abilities for close range work in heavy cover or other low light conditions. The optics are wonderfully clear and crisp with excellent resolution. The lenses are multi-coated and have a green film which ensures 99.5% light transmission and assures great image clarity and color contrast.

The focus ring on the eye piece has crisp checkering and a rubber guard to protect the shooter during heavy recoil.

In addition to hunting and range work, this scope has now been subjected to temperatures ranging from 80 F to -42 F, and has been used in the pouring rain, sun and blowing snow………sometimes all in the same day. It has logged several hundred hours of pounding in boats during rough weather on lakes in northern Canada, hundreds of miles of bumpy trails on ATV’s and a few days in a scabbard. To date, it has never malfunctioned, fogged or changed point of impact.

This King Optics riflescope has proven itself to me in the field and I like it enough that I am looking at trying a couple of other models. In a few months I will require a scope for my latest big bore project, a .458 Lott based on a CZ550 action. I think the Dangerous Game Series model EGR-IR4 1.25-4x26mm, which also has a 30mm tube and is currently being produced would be just perfect for this dangerous game rifle.

The author used the new 1.5-6x42 and its NS-IR4 reticle with the illuminating dot to take this big chocolate colored Manitoba black bear at last light.

In addition to the Dangerous Game Series, King Optics Canada also offers the Highlander Series which includes a number of different variables, several of which are available with the illuminating dot. Of special interest is their long range model which offers a built in BDC and trajectory reticle that is good out to 700 yards. This is another model I hope to try in the near future.

King Optics Canada also produces binoculars and spotting scopes and their optics have a lifetime warranty. Recently King Optics Canada introduced a new line of high quality hunting wear that is designed and constructed for the rigors of hunting in Canada. For more information on their products contact:
