Its 450mm focal length and 20-60x magnification provide a wide 2.2° field of view for scanning and high power for resolving fine details. With a generous 20-18mm eye relief and a robust, IPX5 waterproof construction, this 2192g scope is engineered for critical observation in demanding field conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApochromatic Double ED Optics: An 85mm Lens for True-to-Life Color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the SA401 is its 85mm objective lens, built with a 4-piece, 3-group Apochromatic design that incorporates two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements. This advanced optical configuration brings all wavelengths of light to a single focal point, virtually eliminating the purple and green fringing (chromatic aberration) that can soften images in standard scopes. The result is a sharp, high-contrast view with color fidelity that is critical for identifying subtle plumage on distant birds or analyzing target details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 20-60x Zoom and 20mm Eye Relief Eyepiece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sophisticated 8-piece, 5-group eyepiece provides a versatile 20-60x magnification range, allowing you to sweep a wide area and then zoom in precisely on your subject. At 20x, the field of view is a generous 114 feet at 1000 yards, perfect for locating targets. The scope's 20-18mm of eye relief remains comfortable across the entire zoom range, a significant advantage for eyeglass wearers who can see the full field of view without removing their glasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField-Ready Construction: IPX5 Waterproofing and Porro Prism Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for outdoor use, the SA401 features an IPX5 waterproof rating, ensuring it can withstand rain and wet conditions without fogging internally. The classic Porro prism optical path is known for its excellent light transmission and creating a rich sense of depth in the image.
