Description
MOA Ranger Scope 6x 1-6×24 (Black)
This is a 1-6×24 variable magnification riflescope in black. It zooms from 1x to 6x, a 6x zoom range, and uses a 24mm objective lens.
The 6x in the name refers to its zoom range, from 1x to 6x. Optics of this type are often called low power variable optics (LPVOs), and they are popular because one scope can cover both close-range and longer engagements.
Magnification and field of view
At 1x you can shoot with both eyes open, much like a red dot, for fast target acquisition in buildings and close woodland. Turn it up to 6x and you get a clear, magnified view of targets further away. That versatility makes it a strong choice for M4s, DMRs and all-round rifles.
Remember that higher magnification narrows your field of view and magnifies any wobble, so start at the low end of the range to find your target and zoom in only as far as you need. For most airsoft engagements a moderate setting gives the best balance between detail and awareness.
Setting it up
Mount the scope so that you can see a full, clear picture with your head in a natural position on the stock, then adjust the eyepiece focus until the reticle is sharp. Zero it at a typical engagement distance using the BB weight you normally play with, and remember that hop-up setting affects where BBs land, so set the hop-up first.

Compatibility
The scope fits any replica with a suitable rail once fitted with the right rings or mount, which may need to be bought separately. Check the scope’s tube diameter and choose rings of the same size. Most modern airsoft rifles use a 20mm Picatinny/Weaver rail, while many spring and air rifles use a narrower dovetail rail, so make sure the rings match the rail on your replica. Choose a ring height that clears the barrel and any front sight.
Care and maintenance
Keep the lenses covered when the scope is not in use, and remove dust with a blower brush or soft lens brush before wiping with a microfibre lens cloth. Avoid touching the glass with your fingers and never use household cleaners on coated lenses.
Do not overtighten scope ring screws, as this can damage the tube; tighten them evenly and gradually. Store the scope in a dry place, and if it gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature rather than on a heater.
Who is it for?
The MOA Ranger 1-6×24 suits players who want one optic that handles both CQB and longer-range engagements, on an M4, DMR or all-round rifle.
