New German Precision Optics SPECTRA 6X Riflescopes
German Precision Optics (GPO) announces six new riflescopes. Designed for today’s discriminating hunter, the new SPECTRA 6X riflescope lineup offers precise, reliable, and top-of-the-line performance to meet the demands of any situation hunters may find themselves in. A 30mm main tube, proprietary GPObright high-transmission lens coating technology, iControl illumination technology, PASSIONdrop hydrophobic exterior lens coatings, and a double HD glass objective lens are just some of the features you will find in these models. Models in the 6X line include the SPECTRA 1-6x24i, 1.5-9x32i, 1,5-9x44i, 2-12x44i, 2-12x50i, and 3-18x56i.
Close Range Performance
Both the SPECTRA 1-6x24i and 1.5-9x32i riflescopes are compact and lightweight, with magnification from 1x to 9x between the two models, which allows for quick shooting on fast-moving targets at close range, and a choice between 24mm and 32mm objective lens diameter. The GPO G4i reticle enhances the ability to make fast and accurate shot placements. The SPECTRA 1.5-9x44i also offers a wide magnification range for a scope of its size but has a 44mm objective lens for enhanced light gathering, and the GPO G4i Drop reticle for precise long-range shot placements.

The new SPECTRA 6x line of riflescopes are crafted from a solid, one-piece dust-proof, waterproof, nitrogen-filled body that offers constant point-of-impact and the ultimate in strength and durability. All SPECTRA 6X riflescopes come with an instruction manual, cleaning cloth, bikini scope cover, CR2032 battery, and throw lever. All GPO products purchased in the USA include the GPO, USA’s Spectacular Lifetime Warranty.
Exclusive to GPO, the proprietary iCONTROL illumination system can be adjusted between barely visible for low-light conditions or extremely bright for daylight usage. The system automatically powers down the illumination when the electronic module has been stationary for more than three hours and alerts the user when the battery has 15 percent power remaining.
With the introduction of the Spectra riflescope lines, GPO has modernized the hunting turret systems for the shooting enthusiast who wants both a ballistic turret for easy dialing but also protection from the elements of outdoor field use with a capped ballistic turret. With a low-profile knob that has easy-to-read dial numbers, the aluminum cap fits snugly over the top. This system has clockwise rotating cm click turrets with solid knurled knobs that are easy to grab in any hunting environment. A blank turret is provided in every box for customization.
