T-Eagle AR 4-16×44 SF – Side Focus Riflescope for Hunters and Sport Shooters
As part of the T-Eagle AR series, this riflescope is designed for those who need a reliable, medium-range optic without paying a premium price. The 4–16× magnification range is versatile enough for quick target acquisition at lower settings and precise long-range use at higher magnification.
Optics and Image Quality
The 44mm objective lens provides sufficient light gathering for clear, high-contrast images even in twilight conditions. The SFP (Second Focal Plane) design means the reticle size remains constant across all magnification levels – particularly useful when prioritising ease of use and a clear field of view. The exit pupil ranges from 11mm at 4× to 2.75mm at 16×, with a field of view of 27.3° at 4× and 6.8° at 16×.
The reticle is constructed from metal wire, providing durable, precise lines that remain stable across varying temperature conditions. The scope has no illumination, meaning simpler operation and no need for batteries.
Parallax Adjustment and Accuracy
The Side Focus parallax adjustment is one of the most practical features of this scope. Adjustments can be made without changing grip position or removing your eye from the sight picture. Parallax correction is available from 15 yards to infinity, covering everything from airgun ranges to open field hunting.
The 1/10 MIL click value allows fine, incremental adjustments – at 100 metres, one click equals exactly 1cm of point-of-impact shift. The correction range is ±30 MOA in both elevation and windage, providing sufficient adjustment for most hunting and sport shooting applications. The Turret Lock system allows the turrets to be locked, preventing accidental zero shift.
Eye Relief and Ergonomics
Eye relief ranges from 82 to 96mm depending on magnification, allowing a comfortable and safe shooting position – even on rifles with heavier recoil, reducing the risk of eye injury. The total length is 318mm and the weight is just 544g, adding minimal burden to the rifle.
Construction and Weather Resistance
- Tube diameter — 30mm, compatible with a wide range of mounts
