Here is the Constantine 1-10x24 Fiber Dot Reticle Rifle Scope review from Marco Geiger.

Review Constantine 1-10x24 Fiber

I have been using the Constantine 1-10x24 Fiber for a while now and on purpose chose the 1-10x24 Fiber version because I wanted a simple, uncomplicated LPVO with a focus on lighting and function.

The technical Special feature of the Constantine 1-10x24 Fiber is definitely the lighting, which performs absolutely well in every situation. The Fiber Dot is, as the name suggests, a simple dot in the middle of the simple crosshair reticle and is adjustable in 11 levels. Thanks to the simple crosshair, the focus is always on the extremely good fiber dot, which makes quick target acquisition extremely easy. The Fiber Dot is sufficiently bright for all normal lighting situations at levels 1-3 and is still bright and clearly visible even with extreme over-illumination or direct light shining into the Constantine 1-10x24 at level 11, making it one of the best types of lighting that Vector Optics offers.

The optical Power of the Constantine 1-10x24 Fiber is good as usual, colors are reproduced cleanly and true to color, the image is razor-sharp despite the lack of parallax adjustment and edge blurring cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Because the adjustment towers for height and windage adjustment do not have a lock, they are hidden under screwed protective caps on this model to prevent accidental adjustment. However, a replacement tower for height adjustment is included in which the protective cap is omitted and the adjustment tower can be adjusted directly without unscrewing the protective cap. The elevation and windage adjustment clicks are tactile, clean, easy to hear and easy to use. The magnification adjustment runs very smoothly and there is a throw lever installed that can simply be unscrewed if you don't want it.

As always, the scope of delivery includes all adjustment and assembly tools as well as standard assembly rings from Vector Optics, instructions, a few protective caps and a cleaning cloth. The Constantine 1-10x24 Fiber also has a 5-year warranty.

My final conclusion about the Constantine 1-10x24 Fiber is an absolutely usable LPVO of good quality, perfect for anyone who values good lighting and a simple crosshair. The price-performance ratio is extremely good and I therefore give it a clear purchase recommendation.
