# VORTEX Sonora 4-12x44 Dead-Hold BDC (MOA) Reticle 1" Tube

The Vortex Sonora 4-12x44 is a compact hunting and general-purpose riflescope with a Dead-Hold BDC MOA reticle that simplifies hold-over and windage at varying ranges. It delivers bright, fully multi-coated optics and durable waterproof, fogproof, and weatherproof construction thanks to a nitrogen-purged, o-ring sealed 1-inch aircraft-grade aluminum tube. Capped turrets and 1/4 MOA adjustments help with easy, repeatable zeroing.

Can’t go wrong with a Vortex scope. Thanks for the prompt service and delivery as has always been my experience with KYGC. Haven’t mounted it yet. Vortex is my first choice for a good clear scope and coupled with an affordable price and good service you can’t go wrong.

I've ordered a number if items from KYGUNCO and have always found them to be very honest, prompt, with great prices so I always check here when ready to purchase an item. I've also referred many friends here and they have purchased too. This VORTEX scope is well worth the money as it functions well. I haven't found any flaws or characteristics that are not up to par with their description. There are some other benefits to ordering from KYGUNCO that are better left unsaid but other seasoned buyers from here probably understand ;)

shipping wasn’t as fast as other’s, the packaging sucked big time!!! it was in a big envelope with 2 other envelopes wrapped on each end of the scope box!!! really? it is breakable!! should’ve been in a proper box big enough to hold it, with plenty of cushioned material!! not sure where it came from but if they represent KYGUNCO they need to be addressed. however scope is ok i think
