Alpen Kodiak 1-4x24 Riflescope

On an AR-platform carbine, the argument for an LPVO over a red dot lives in one detail: you keep both eyes open at 1x and still get 4x for positive ID past 100 yards. The Alpen Kodiak 1-4x24 delivers that capability with an AR-BDC reticle calibrated for common 5.56 and 7.62 loads, ±60 MOA of adjustment travel, and a 30 mm tube that takes standard tactical rings.

Key Features

• True 1x to 4x magnification — both-eyes-open speed at close range, target ID to 300+ yards
• AR-BDC reticle — bullet-drop compensation hash marks tuned for AR-platform loads
• Second focal plane — reticle stays a consistent visual size at any magnification
• 30 mm aluminum alloy tube with fully multi-coated optics
• 1/2 MOA clicks with generous ±60 MOA elevation and windage travel; 30 MOA per rotation
• Waterproof, fogproof, and 800 G shock-rated
• Ships with Picatinny rings — mount-ready on AR-15 flat-tops out of the box

Ideal For

• AR-15 carbine shooters building a general-purpose rifle that has to shoot fast at 25 yards and deliberately at 300
• Home-defense and duty builds needing a scope that runs like a red dot at 1x and transitions to magnified only when the shot demands it
• Three-gun and action shooters who value a capable all-around optic at an entry LPVO price
