Wulf Hurricane 4.5-18×50 Rifle Scope

Key Features and Analysis:

• Magnification Range (4.5-18x): This range offers good versatility. The lower end (4.5x) is suitable for closer-range shooting and acquiring targets quickly, while the higher end (18x) allows for more precise aiming at longer distances. This makes it adaptable for various shooting disciplines.   
• Objective Lens Diameter (50mm): A larger objective lens gathers more light, which is beneficial in low-light conditions (dawn, dusk, or in shaded areas). This contributes to a brighter and clearer image.   
• Tube Diameter (30mm): A 30mm tube is common in mid-to-high-end scopes. It provides more internal space for the erector tube, potentially leading to a wider range of elevation and windage adjustments compared to a 1-inch tube. It also generally offers greater strength.
• Field of View (F.O.V. @ 100yds: 27.7′-7.3′): This indicates the width of the area you can see through the scope at 100 yards. At the lower magnification (4.5x), you have a wider field of view (27.7 feet), making it easier to find and track moving targets. As you increase the magnification (to 18x), the field of view narrows (7.3 feet), providing a more detailed view of a smaller area.   
• Eye Relief (89mm / 3.5 inches): This is the distance between your eye and the eyepiece when you see a full field of view. 89mm is a generous eye relief, which is important for shooter comfort and safety, especially with centrefire rifles that can have significant recoil.   
• Reticle (Illuminated Red/Green Half Mildot Reticle):
  • Half Mildot: This type of reticle features dots spaced at 0.5 mil-radian intervals, offering more precise holdover and windage adjustments compared to a standard mildot reticle with full mil spacing.
  • Illuminated Red/Green: The ability to illuminate the reticle in red or green helps to make it more visible against dark targets or in varying lighting conditions. The user can typically adjust the brightness of the illumination.   
• IR Battery (CR2032 Fitted): This is a common and readily available button-cell battery used to power the reticle illumination.   
• Focal Plane (Second Focal Plane – SFP): In a second focal plane scope, the reticle remains the same size throughout the magnification range. This means that the mil-dot markings are only accurate at a specific magnification (usually the highest magnification). You’ll need to be aware of this when using the reticle for ranging or holdovers at different magnifications.
• Click Value (0.1 MRAD): This is the amount the point of impact will change for each click of the elevation or windage turret. 0.1 MRAD (Milliradian) adjustments are precise and are a good match for the mil-dot reticle, allowing for consistent and predictable adjustments.   
• Total Elevation/Windage Adjustment (27 MRAD / 92 MOA): This indicates the total range of adjustment available for both elevation (vertical) and windage (horizontal). 27 MRAD is a decent amount of travel, allowing for shooting at longer distances. The MOA (Minutes of Angle) equivalent is also provided for shooters who are more familiar with that unit.   
• Length (13.6 inches) and Weight (734gms / 26.2 ozs): These are important factors to consider for rifle balance and overall weight. The Hurricane appears to be a moderately sized and weighted scope.   
• Side Focus (Yes): The adjustable side focus allows the shooter to fine-tune the parallax setting, ensuring that the reticle and the target are in the same focal plane. This eliminates parallax error, which can affect accuracy, especially at longer distances or higher magnifications. The fact that it focuses down to 10 yards (9 meters) makes it particularly well-suited for air rifle use and closer-range shooting.   
• Parallax (10yds – ∞ / 9 Metres to Infinity): This confirms the wide parallax adjustment range, making it suitable for a broad range of shooting distances.   
• Lens Coating (XHT Fully Multi-Coated): Fully multi-coated lenses mean that multiple layers of coatings have been applied to all lens surfaces. This maximizes light transmission, reduces glare, and improves image clarity, brightness, and contrast.   
• Warranty (WULF Titanium Lifetime Warranty): A lifetime warranty from WULF demonstrates their confidence in the product’s quality and provides peace of mind to the buyer. The description emphasizes the rigorous quality control and the brand’s commitment to reliability.
