Victoptics S4 6-24x50 FFP - Full Review  

Whether for sports shooting, hunting, or other disciplines, choosing the right rifle scope can make all the difference. Today, I'll be discussing the Victoptics S4 6-24x50 FFP, a scope that combines versatility and quality at an affordable price. Here’s my complete review, highlighting its key components and performance.

### What’s in the box?  

The Victoptics S4 6-24x50 FFP comes well-equipped with a range of useful accessories. Inside the box, we find:  

- Instruction manual;  

- Cleaning cloth;  

- Sunshade;  

- Pin for adjusting the magnification wheel;  

- Parallax wheel with accessories;  

- Two Picatinny mounts;  

- Installation tool;  

- And, of course, the scope itself with flip-up covers on both the objective and ocular lenses.

### Brand Quality  

Although Victoptics is a more budget-friendly line from the well-known Vector Optics, the quality remains undeniable. The brand is recognized for its highly durable products and solid performance, and this scope is no exception. As expected from Vector Optics, we’re talking about a well-performing product made with quality materials.

### Technical Specifications  

The Victoptics S4 is a variable magnification scope ranging from 6x to 24x, with a 50mm objective lens and a 35mm ocular lens. Constructed from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, it ensures durability and lightweight handling, weighing just 555 grams and measuring 375mm in total length. The robustness of 6061-T6 aluminum is especially important for absorbing impact and ensuring longevity, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a scope that can withstand regular use.

The reticle is the VIS-FMIL, which is quite versatile for different shooting scenarios. While other reticle options are available, this review focuses on the unit tested, which came with this specific model.

### Optical Performance  

While the lenses may not be the highest quality within the Vector range, they are more than adequate for most uses. The image is clear and sharp under normal lighting conditions, but in low light at 25 meters, a slight haze may appear. This is common in more budget-friendly scopes and does not hinder its functionality. However, if you're accustomed to higher-quality optics, you'll notice the difference.

### Adjustments and Features  

The scope’s turrets offer 1/10 MIL adjustments, with 60 clicks per rotation. Each click is well-defined, both in feel and sound, which is crucial in noisy or outdoor environments. Another positive aspect is the Zero Stop system, which locks the turret at zero, making it easy to return to the starting point without error.

The parallax adjustments are precise, starting at 20 yards (around 18.5 meters, based on my tests). The included parallax wheel is a great addition, allowing for fine adjustments with ease. There is also a broad diopter adjustment range, which is ideal for users with vision issues.

### Durability and Resistance  

The Victoptics S4 is waterproof and shock-tested up to 750g, and it is nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging. These features make it a reliable scope for use in harsh conditions, whether in humid environments or those prone to impact.

### Recommended Use  

This scope is recommended by the manufacturer for use with airguns or low-caliber firearms, such as .22 LR. It is particularly suited for disciplines like 50-meter BenchRest, making it an affordable option for those starting out in these sports.

### Final Thoughts  

The Victoptics S4 6-24x50 FFP offers excellent value for money, especially for users looking for a quality product without breaking the bank. While it doesn’t match the high-end scopes from Vector Optics, it serves its purpose well and is a solid option for beginners and low-caliber enthusiasts. If you're looking for a scope with precise adjustments, durability, and decent performance in various lighting conditions, this is a choice worth considering.

If you're in the market for a scope for your airgun or low-caliber firearm, the Victoptics S4 might just be the perfect companion.
