Element Optics Nexus – the flagship riflescope for the most demanding shooters. Back to the Element Optics overview or take a look at the more affordable Helix series.

Nexus – Element Optics' Flagship

The word "Nexus" means "focal point" – and that's exactly what this model represents in the Element Optics lineup. The Nexus combines tool-free tactical turrets, zero stop, and a removable zoom lever in precision manufacturing to create one of the highest-quality 30 mm scopes on the market. AirGhandi says: "The Element Nexus completely won me over. I've never looked through such a good scope myself. In my view, this glass can hold its own against the big German brands, which makes it very attractive at this price."

5-20x50 FFP – Two Reticle Options

The Nexus 5-20x50 FFP (€1,499) is available in two reticle configurations: APR-1C MRAD and APR-1D MRAD. Both variants share the same technical foundation: an illuminated first focal plane reticle, a 30 mm housing made from aviation-grade aluminum, advanced fully multi-coated lenses with an anti-fouling layer, and tool-free resettable turrets with 10 MRAD per revolution. The choice between APR-1C and APR-1D comes down to reticle design preference – from simplified layouts to more complex holdover points for experienced shooters.

Uncompromising Build Quality

Element Optics didn't cut corners on the Nexus: only the best materials, defined manufacturing steps, and technical inspections by a design team of world-class competition winners and hunters. It ships with a sunshade, lens cloth, and neoprene cover – ready to use straight out of the box for hunting, benchrest, or long range.
