Key Features of Victoptics S4 4-16×44 Rifle Scope

1. Versatile 4–16x Zoom Range for Medium to Long-Range Shooting

Whether you’re targeting a deer at 100 meters or stretching your skills to 400 meters on the range, the Victoptics S4 gives you the magnification flexibility to do it all. Start at 4x for a wide-angle view and fast target acquisition, then zoom up to 16x to fine-tune your shot with greater detail. This 4x zoom ratio offers a perfect balance between situational awareness and precise engagement, making the scope well-suited for both forest hunting and open-field shooting.

2. Bright 44mm Objective Lens for Clear, Sharp Images in Most Light Conditions

With a 44mm objective lens, this scope pulls in more light than compact optics, giving you clear and vibrant images in varying lighting conditions. Whether you’re shooting under cloudy skies, during early morning light, or late evening hours, this scope holds up with brightness and color fidelity. The lens size strikes a balance between light transmission and a compact form, ensuring your rifle stays maneuverable while still delivering excellent visuals.

3. Fully Multi-Coated Optics for Enhanced Light Transmission and Contrast

Every glass surface in the S4 is fully multi-coated to maximize light transmission and reduce glare. This results in sharper contrast, less chromatic aberration, and truer color reproduction across the field of view. The coatings improve performance particularly at higher magnifications, where cheaper scopes often fall short. Whether you’re identifying animal markings or tight groupings on a paper target, this scope gives you clear and detailed visibility.

4. Tactical Mil-Dot Reticle for Accurate Holdovers and Range Estimation

The S4 features a classic mil-dot reticle, trusted by military and precision shooters for its ability to estimate range, correct for windage, and compensate for bullet drop. The dots are spaced for standard MIL values, allowing you to make quick in-scope calculations without needing external charts or guesswork. Whether you’re holding for a 10 mph crosswind or dialing in your drop for a 300-meter shot, the reticle offers dependable reference points every time.

5. Durable 30mm One-Piece Tube for Stability and Adjustment Range

Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, the 30mm main tube offers enhanced strength, stability, and greater internal adjustment range compared to 1-inch tubes. It’s shockproof enough to handle the recoil of common hunting and tactical calibers, while also maintaining consistent internal alignment for better accuracy. The anodized finish adds resistance to wear, scratches, and weather conditions, ensuring a long service life even under tough use.

6. Precise and Repeatable Elevation and Windage Turrets

The capped turrets on the S4 offer ¼ MOA adjustments per click, letting you dial in exact changes with tactile and audible feedback. The turrets are designed for zero retention, so once you’ve sighted in your scope, you can trust it to hold point-of-impact even after repeated shots or transport. The clear markings allow you to track your adjustments easily without confusion, and turret caps provide added protection from accidental shifts in the field.

7. Side Focus Parallax Adjustment for Crystal-Clear Imaging at Any Range

Unlike budget scopes with fixed parallax, the S4 comes with a side focus knob that allows you to fine-tune parallax from 10 yards to infinity. This feature ensures that your reticle remains perfectly aligned with your target, reducing error caused by head movement, especially important at longer ranges or higher zoom levels. Whether you’re aiming close for pest control or pushing out to 300+ meters, side parallax lets you lock in sharp focus.

8. Eye Relief and Field of View Optimized for Practical Shooting

With generous eye relief and a broad field of view at lower magnifications, the S4 provides comfort and situational awareness. You can mount the scope safely on a variety of rifles without worrying about scope bite, and still have room to reposition quickly between shots. The smooth zoom ring and responsive focus dial also make it easy to operate with gloves or under pressure in real-world shooting environments.

How to Use the Victoptics S4 4-16×44 Scope

1. Securely Mount the Scope on Your Rifle: Start by choosing the correct 30mm scope rings that match your rifle’s rail. Align the scope properly, ensuring the reticle is level and the eye relief is comfortable when you shoulder the rifle. Gradually tighten all screws without over-torquing to avoid damage or misalignment during recoil.

2. Begin at 4x Magnification to Spot Your Target: Always start with the lowest magnification (4x) when scanning or aiming at a target. This gives you a wider field of view, making it easier to locate your subject. Once you’ve centered it in the scope, you can zoom in gradually for a more detailed shot.

3. Adjust the Side Parallax and Focus for Clarity: Use the side parallax knob to fine-tune the image based on the distance of your target. Then, rotate the fast-focus eyepiece to sharpen the reticle. This two-step process ensures that both your target and the crosshair remain crystal clear.

4. Increase Zoom Up to 16x for Precision Shots: After locking onto your target at 4x, slowly increase the magnification to get a closer look. Adjust the parallax and focus each time you change the zoom level to maintain image sharpness. This is ideal for long-distance shooting and accuracy.

5. Use Red/Green Illumination in Low-Light Situations: Turn on the illuminated reticle using the knob and choose red or green with 5 brightness levels. This helps you see the reticle clearly in low-light conditions like early morning, dusk, or dense forest settings.

How to Clean the Victoptics S4 4-16×44 Scope

1. Start by Removing Dust with a Soft Brush or Air Blower: Before wiping the lenses, use a lens blower or soft brush to remove loose dust particles. This helps prevent scratches during the cleaning process and keeps the coatings intact.

2. Gently Wipe the Lenses Using a Microfiber Cloth: Use a clean microfiber cloth and gently clean the lenses in small circular motions. Do not use tissues or your shirt, as these may leave scratches or fibers on the glass surface.

3. Apply Lens Cleaning Solution for Fingerprints or Smudges: If you notice smudges or oil marks, spray a small amount of lens cleaner onto the microfiber cloth (never directly on the lens) and gently wipe the surface until clean and clear.

4. Clean the Scope Body with a Slightly Damp Cloth:   Wipe the scope’s aluminum housing with a damp cloth to remove dirt, fingerprints, or mud. Be careful not to get water into the turrets, illumination knob, or lens edges.

5. Let the Scope Air-Dry Before Packing or Storing: Always allow the scope to air dry completely before storing it in its case or mounting it on your rifle. Moisture trapped inside the caps or tube can lead to fogging and mold over time.

How to Take Care of the Victoptics S4 4-16×44 Scope

1. Store the Scope in a Padded Case During Travel: When transporting or storing your scope, always use a padded protective case. This helps prevent bumps, shocks, and scratches during movement or while in your gear bag.

2. Avoid Exposing the Scope to Extreme Temperatures: Let the scope acclimate slowly when moving between hot and cold environments. Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation inside the lens or housing.

3. Remove the Battery If Not Using for Long Periods: To avoid battery leakage or corrosion, take out the CR2032 battery from the illumination system if you won’t be using the scope for an extended period.

4. Avoid Over-Tightening the Mount or Turrets: Tighten the mounting screws and turrets with care. Excessive force can deform the tube, damage the reticle mechanism, or affect the internal zero.

5. Inspect the Scope Periodically for Dust or Fog: Regularly check the scope by pointing it at a bright surface. Look for internal fogging, dust, or fungal spots. If anything is visible, have it cleaned by a professional technician.
