Element Optics Theos – compact precision optics for PRS, sport shooters, and air rifles. Back to the Element Optics overview or take a look at the Titan for extreme distances.

Theos – The Compact Mid-Power Optic

The Theos 2-10x42 FFP MRAD Black (€2,249) is a modern mid-power variable optic (MPVO) built for dynamic applications and precise shooting at short to medium distances. Its combination of a compact build (just 290 mm long), precise mechanics, and premium optics makes this scope equally suited for sport shooters, PRS disciplines, tactical use, and air rifle and long-range applications.

ED Optics with Japanese Glass

The integrated ED optical system with low-dispersion glass delivers a clear, high-contrast image with reduced color fringing – detail and color fidelity stay sharp even at higher magnification. The illuminated MPR-1D MRAD reticle sits in the first focal plane (FFP), so holdover marks stay accurate across the entire magnification range. The diffractive reticle illumination lights up only the relevant areas without washing out the whole field of view.

RevTrak Turrets and Flexible Parallax

The RevTrak turret system with built-in zero stop and revolution indicator delivers precise, repeatable click adjustment that resets to zero without tools. The low turret profile also suits setups with an additional red dot sight. Side-focus parallax adjustment ranges from 10 m to infinity with a QuickSet detent at 100 m – making the Theos suitable for air rifle and small-bore disciplines too. According to the manufacturer, the aviation-grade aluminum housing with 34 mm tube is also built to handle high recoil, up to calibers like .50 BMG.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Theos

What distances is the Theos built for?

The Theos specializes in short to medium distances and, thanks to its parallax adjustment from 10 m, also suits PRS disciplines and air rifle and small-bore use.

What is diffractive reticle illumination?

The diffractive technology illuminates only the relevant parts of the reticle, so it stays clearly visible even with illumination active, without washing out the entire field of view.

Can the Theos be combined with a red dot sight?

Yes, the low profile of the RevTrak turret system is specifically designed for setups with an additional red dot sight.
