Optics at SHOT Show 2020, and since then they have sent us an FDN 25X scope for review.

This is their top-of-the-line, maximum power long-distance scope.

The FDN 25X is a 5-25 power scope with a 34mm tube.

FDN 25X scope by US Optics

The quality of this scope is fantastic.

It is highly durable, and this is apparent as soon as you get your hands on it.

This scope is just over 2 lbs., so it is a thick-walled and dense optic.

It also has an ergonomic capped US#1 windage knob.

This scope does have an integrated illuminated reticle and parallax knob.

(Getadditional information on parallax here.)

Something to note is the fact that the zoom on this is a smooth rapid adjustable 180-degree magnification throw.

This brings me to another point Id like to mention about this scope.

you could customize this scope for you in almost any way that you want.

Testing the FDN 25X on the range

it’s possible for you to choose from any Cerakote number that you want for a color.

So, if theres some custom color you want you could order your scope in that color from U.S.

This is cool because putting Cerakote on a scope can be a challenge.

Scopes have gases inside the optic, and it makes it a challenge for the Cerakote process.

There are 11 reticle options it’s possible for you to choose from on their website.

We got ours in with the JVCR reticle.

Setting up rifle and scope for accuracy testing

There are three illumination options for the reticle including red, green and blue.

There are also options for elevation, windage and even your eyepiece.

But, this scope from U.S.

U.S. Optics FDN 25X

Optics is a custom scope and its handmade here in the United States.

On the video, we shot at 800 consistently.

The knobs on this scope are great; in particular, the extremely large beefy elevation knob is fantastic.

The elevation knob being so large is great for gloved hands and cold hands.

The large knobs really helped make thesighting in processmuch easier!

Optics also has a really great way of resetting the 0 of the knobs.
