The Optisan Optics EVX FFP has been my favorite scope and has seen daily use for over a year. It has resided on several rifles and has never left me wanting and never missed a beat.
So can the SFP Helix from the newcomer, Element Optics, knock it off its perch as my go-to scope on my daily shooter? Does it have features, like a resettable zero stop, that I will deem essential for all future scopes? Are the turrets as crisp as the designers and pro-staffers say they are?
What we have set out to do is show you what we are seeing. This is our first optics review. We created an “eye chart” for scopes, and took photos (using a SideShot Phone Mount with a 50/50 prism and an iPhone 11 Pro) of the chart with both scopes at 30 meters. Those unedited photos are presented to you, so you can make the comparison for yourself.
We’ve also included some slow-mo video (using an EagleVision Mount with a 25/75 prism and a GoPro 7 Hero Black) of some wine bottle shooting we were “forced” to do shortly after we set the Helix up on Saber Tactical’s new Chassis for the FX Dreamline. These clips were shot at 20 yards.
While our intent with this video is to provide you with the information you can use to make good purchase decisions, I am prepared to say that if FFP is not a deal breaker, then the Helix is the scope to beat in this price range in terms of build quality and visual (through the tube) appeal. If you want a sub $500 scope and it has to be FFP, the Optisan EVX is still the optic to beat in my book.
