- Manufacturer: Hekler'Kok Defense Industries
- Affiliation: Hekler'Kok Defense Industries
- Market Status: Open Market
- Model: Long Range Optics Series
- Modularity: Various Reticle Colors and Shapes, Various Variable Magnifications (8-12x, 8-16x and 8-20x)
- Production: Mass Produced
- Material: Plasteel (Optics Casing), Transparisteel (Optics Lenses), CeramiCoat (Optic Coating) and Electrical Components
- Finely Detailed Illuminated Reticle
- Adjustable for Caliber
- Textured Adjustment Dials
- Integrated Rangefinder
- Auto-Adjust Reticle Brightness
- Low Light/Night Vision Mode
- Anti-Reflective Cover
- Quick Attach/Detach Mount
- No-Fog Lenses
- Waterproof Sealing
- Vibration Resistant
- Reach out and Touch em: The Long Range Optics Series gives the user a high degree of magnification allowing them to reach out and hit targets at very long distances that would be impossible other wise
- Peripheral View: When aiming down the sight the users vision in the looking eye is obstructed by the sight and they can easily miss targets or such in their periphery if not careful
With the Short and Medium Range Optics Series finished the design team and engineers at Hekler'Kok began work on the final set of optics, the Long Range Optics Series. While many arguments had risen during the designing of the Close and Medium Range Series about what types of optics they should make, there was none for the Long Range Series and the users chose to use variable zoom telescopic sights as a base for the series.
With the basic design out of the way the design team began work on choosing the materials that would be used in the optics construction. For this stage they decided to go with the old adage of if it isn't broken do not fix it and re-used many of the same materials from the previous two optics series. The optics casing was made of Plasteel due to its durability and relatively low weight. The optics lenses was made of Transparisteel to provide a clear view while avoid cracking and damage as much as possible. The optics were coated in CeramiCoat to prevent external wear and tear. Lastly the necessary electrical components were included to make sure that the optics work as intended.
The last step in the process was of course adding in the features that would be included in optics design to enhance its capability for users. First was a finely detailed, illuminated reticle to help better acquire and engage targets. Said reticle is also adjustable for a wide variety of different calibers for bullet drop, windage and elevation to provide better accuracy. Textured adjustment dials makes it easier to grip the adjust dials for range, windage, elevation and magnification.
An integrated rangefinder helps with range the target and adjusting the optics as needed. Auto-adjusting brightness for the reticle detects ambient light and adjusts the reticle to the optimal brightness. A low light/night vision mode also makes it easier to use the optics with said devices. An anti-reflective cover of the optics prevents light from reflecting off of it and giving away the users position. A quick detach/attach mount makes removing and attaching the optics quick and simple.
No-fog lenses prevent the optics lenses from fogging up no matter how wet or humid the environment. Waterproof sealing prevents water from seeping into the optic and it is submergible up to 100 meters. Finally a vibration resistance system allows the optics to keep its zero no matter how much recoil is put through the optic from the weapon firing.
