Immersive Optics 5x24 Prismatic Scope - Further Information

The Immersive Optics 5x24 Prismatic Scope is an ultra-compact fixed-magnification optic designed for shooters looking for a wide field of view, fast target acquisition and excellent optical performance without the size and weight of a traditional riflescope.

Using Immersive Optics' innovative prismatic optical system, the 5x24 delivers useful 5x fixed magnification from an incredibly compact scope measuring just 85 mm long.

Despite its tiny dimensions, the Immersive Optics 5x24 provides an exceptional 17.5 m field of view at 100 metres, close focusing down to just 4 metres and high-quality Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass for a crisp and detailed sight picture.

This version features an illuminated glass-etched Mildot reticle and is supplied complete with MOA adjustable mounts, creating a compact and versatile optical package ideally suited to air rifles and compact shooting platforms.

Compact 5x Fixed Magnification

The Immersive Optics 5x24 provides 5x fixed magnification, offering an excellent balance between target detail and situational awareness.

While the higher-magnification 10x and 14x Immersive Optics models are aimed towards shooters who prioritise maximum target detail, the 5x24 provides a significantly wider view of the surrounding area.

This makes it particularly well suited to shooting situations where quick target acquisition and a less restrictive sight picture are important.

Just 85mm Long

The defining feature of the Immersive Optics 5x24 is its remarkably compact size.

Measuring approximately 85 mm in length, it is dramatically shorter than a conventional 5x riflescope.

The prism-based optical system allows Immersive Optics to reduce the length normally required to achieve magnification through a traditional riflescope design.

For modern compact air rifles and other short shooting platforms, this allows the rifle to retain its compact proportions rather than being dominated by a long conventional optic.

Exceptional 17.5m Field of View

One of the biggest advantages of the 5x24 is its exceptionally wide field of view.

The scope provides an impressive 17.5 metres at 100 metres – approximately 52 ft at 100 yards.

That gives the shooter a broad view of the target area and surrounding environment, making it easier to acquire a target and maintain greater awareness while looking through the optic.

For shooters accustomed to the comparatively narrow view through a conventional riflescope, the difference offered by the Immersive Optics prismatic system can be immediately noticeable.

Close Focus Down to Just 4 Metres

The Immersive Optics 5x24 can focus down to an exceptionally short 4 metres.

This is particularly useful for air rifle shooting, where targets may be encountered at much shorter distances than would typically be expected with conventional firearm optics.

Combined with its moderate 5x magnification and huge field of view, the close-focus capability gives the 5x24 excellent versatility across a broad range of shooting distances.

Extra-Low Dispersion ED Glass

Immersive Optics uses high-quality Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass within the 5x24 optical system.

ED glass is designed to reduce chromatic aberration and unwanted colour fringing, helping produce a cleaner image with more natural colour reproduction and improved contrast.

The result is a crisp and detailed sight picture from an optic that is remarkably small and lightweight.

Illuminated Mildot Reticle

The Immersive Optics 5x24 features an illuminated Mildot reticle.

The familiar Mildot design provides useful reference points for shooters who want to account for trajectory and wind without introducing unnecessary complexity into the sight picture.

The reticle is glass etched, providing a sharp and clearly defined aiming point, while illumination helps improve visibility against challenging targets and backgrounds.

Precision 0.1 MIL Adjustments

The 5x24 features precision 0.1 MIL windage and elevation adjustments.

Each click represents approximately 1 cm at 100 metres, making adjustments straightforward and intuitive when zeroing the rifle.

The MIL-based turret system also complements the Mildot reticle, creating a consistent measurement system between the reticle and scope adjustments.

Supplied with MOA Adjustable Mounts

This version of the Immersive Optics 5x24 comes complete with MOA adjustable mounts.

Rather than relying entirely upon the scope's internal windage and elevation adjustments, the mounting system allows additional correction to be introduced through the mounts themselves.

This can be particularly useful for air rifle setups, where trajectory and mounting requirements can differ considerably between rifles.

Adjustable mounts can also help retain more of the scope's internal adjustment range after the rifle has been zeroed.

Excellent Choice for Compact Air Rifles

The dimensions of the Immersive Optics 5x24 make it particularly attractive for today's generation of compact PCP air rifles and bullpup-style platforms.

Fitting a traditional full-length riflescope to a compact rifle can undermine many of the handling benefits the rifle was designed to provide.

At just 85 mm long, the 5x24 allows the complete setup to remain extremely compact while still providing genuine optical magnification and precision aiming capability.

Lightweight & Well Balanced

The compact dimensions also help keep unnecessary weight and bulk off the rifle.

Keeping the optic small and its mass concentrated within a short area can improve rifle balance and handling, particularly on compact shooting platforms.

For shooters who carry their rifle for extended periods or shoot from unsupported positions, reducing unnecessary optical bulk can make a noticeable difference.

Short Eye Relief Prismatic Design

Like other short-eye-relief Immersive Optics models, the 5x24 uses a deliberately short eye relief.

This forms an important part of the prismatic optical design and contributes towards the scope's exceptionally wide field of view and compact dimensions.

Correct positioning of the optic is therefore important to achieve the optimum sight picture.

The scope is particularly well suited to air rifles and other appropriate low-recoil shooting platforms.

CNC Machined Construction

The Immersive Optics 5x24 features a precision CNC-machined housing, creating a robust structure around the compact optical system.

This provides the durability required for regular field and range use while maintaining the extremely small footprint that distinguishes Immersive Optics from conventional riflescope designs.

Waterproof & Nitrogen Filled

Designed for outdoor use, the 5x24 is waterproof and nitrogen filled.

Nitrogen filling helps prevent internal fogging when moving between different temperatures and environmental conditions, while the sealed construction provides additional protection against moisture.

Practical Lens Cap Retention System

Immersive Optics has incorporated a clever lens cap retention system into the design.

Once opened, the protective lens caps can be retained neatly against the side of the optic, keeping them away from the shooter's sight picture and preventing loose covers from becoming an unnecessary distraction.
