Lifetime warranty on the device

 Ventus Optics Venus SFP 1-8x24 VH-MIL-BDC is a versatile low-power variable optic (LPVO) designed for hunting, recreational shooting and sporting applications. Featuring a 1-8x magnification range, a 24 mm objective lens and a wide field of view, this riflescope combines fast target acquisition at low magnification with the ability to observe smaller targets at greater distances. The VH-MIL-BDC reticle is positioned in the second focal plane (SFP) and incorporates MIL-based aiming references. Additional features include fully multi-coated lenses, a 30 mm main tube, 85 mm eye relief, precise 0.1 MRAD adjustment clicks, IP67 waterproof protection and nitrogen-filled construction.

Full Description

Ventus Optics Venus SFP 1-8x24 is a compact variable-power riflescope developed for shooters who need flexibility across different distances and shooting environments. Its 1-8x magnification range makes it suitable for close-range target acquisition, dynamic shooting exercises and more precise observation at intermediate distances.

As part of the Ventus Optics Venus series, this riflescope combines a practical optical configuration with a compact housing and a reticle designed to provide additional aiming references. The combination of low magnification, an eightfold zoom range and a second focal plane reticle makes it a versatile choice for hunting rifles and sporting carbines.

1-8x Magnification — Versatility at Different Distances

The magnification range extends from 1x to 8x, allowing the shooter to adapt the sight picture to the target and shooting conditions. At 1x, the riflescope offers a wide field of view for maintaining awareness of the surrounding area and acquiring targets quickly. Increasing magnification provides a more detailed view of distant targets and allows for more precise aiming.

The eightfold zoom range is particularly useful when shooting scenarios involve changing distances. Instead of relying on a fixed magnification level, the user can adjust the optical system according to the situation.

Wide Field of View

One of the important characteristics of the Venus 1-8x24 is its wide field of view. At 1x magnification, the riflescope provides a field of view of 44.4 metres at 100 metres, making it easier to locate targets and maintain situational awareness.

At maximum 8x magnification, the field of view narrows to 5.53 metres at 100 metres, providing a more focused view for detailed observation and precise aiming. The angular field of view ranges from 25° to 3.13°.

Fully Multi-Coated Optical System

The riflescope features a 24 mm objective lens with fully multi-coated optical elements. Multiple optical coatings help reduce unwanted reflections and improve light transmission through the lens system, supporting a clear and well-defined image.

The 24 mm objective diameter also contributes to the compact overall dimensions of the riflescope, making it suitable for setups where weight and size are important considerations.

VH-MIL-BDC Reticle — Additional Aiming References

This version of the Venus 1-8x24 is equipped with the VH-MIL-BDC reticle, which incorporates MIL-based reference markings and a bullet drop compensation (BDC) layout.

The reticle provides a central aiming point together with additional reference marks that can assist with holdover and aiming corrections. Its graduated design allows the shooter to use visual references rather than relying exclusively on mechanical turret adjustments.

The BDC markings are intended to provide additional vertical aiming references. Their practical correspondence to a particular trajectory depends on the ammunition, firearm configuration, zero distance and magnification setting. No specific cartridge calibration is stated for this reticle.

Second Focal Plane (SFP) Design

The VH-MIL-BDC reticle is positioned in the second focal plane (SFP). Unlike a first focal plane reticle, its apparent size remains constant when magnification changes.

This provides a consistent visual appearance of the reticle throughout the 1-8x magnification range. However, the angular values represented by its reference markings change relative to the target as magnification changes. Accurate use of the MIL and BDC subtensions therefore requires the appropriate calibrated magnification setting.

Adjustment Turrets — 0.1 MRAD per Click

The Ventus Optics Venus SFP 1-8x24 features adjustment turrets with a 0.1 MRAD (MIL) click value, corresponding to 1 cm at a distance of 100 metres.

This adjustment system uses the same angular measurement unit as the VH-MIL-BDC reticle. It allows reticle measurements and mechanical turret corrections to be expressed in MIL without converting between MOA and MRAD.

According to the manufacturer's catalogue, the riflescope provides an elevation adjustment range of ±60 MOA and a windage adjustment range of ±60 MOA, equivalent to approximately ±17.45 MIL on each axis. These values describe the total mechanical adjustment capability, while the individual turret clicks are graduated in MRAD.

30 mm Main Tube and Compact Construction

The riflescope features a 30 mm main tube, allowing installation with compatible 30 mm scope rings or mounts. This is a widely used mounting diameter for modern hunting and sporting optics.

With an overall length of 270 mm and a weight of 551 g, the Venus 1-8x24 provides an eightfold magnification range in a relatively compact configuration. Its dimensions make it a practical option for rifles where maintaining a manageable overall setup is important.

85 mm Eye Relief and Diopter Adjustment

The riflescope provides 85 mm eye relief, allowing the shooter to maintain a suitable distance between the eye and the eyepiece during observation and aiming.

A diopter adjustment range from -3 to +2 allows the user to adjust the apparent sharpness of the reticle according to individual eyesight.

IP67 Waterproof Protection

The Ventus Optics Venus 1-8x24 is rated IP67 for protection against dust and water ingress. This rating indicates a dust-tight construction and resistance to temporary immersion under the specified test conditions.

The optical housing is also nitrogen-filled, helping prevent internal lens fogging caused by changes in temperature and humidity.

Shock Resistance up to 1000 G

The manufacturer specifies a 1000 G shock resistance rating for the Venus SFP 1-8x24. This characteristic reflects the riflescope's stated ability to withstand mechanical shock associated with its intended use.

Together with its waterproof construction and nitrogen filling, the shock-resistant design supports reliable operation under a range of outdoor shooting conditions.

Ventus Optics Venus SFP 1-8x24 VH-MIL-BDC brings together a wide field of view, an eightfold zoom range, fully multi-coated optics and a practical MIL-based BDC reticle. Its 0.1 MRAD adjustment system, compact dimensions, SFP design and protected housing make it a versatile optical solution for hunters and sporting shooters looking for a 1-8x LPVO.

Who Is It For?

The Ventus Optics Venus SFP 1-8x24 VH-MIL-BDC is suitable for hunters, recreational shooters and sporting rifle owners who want a flexible low-power variable optic. The 1x setting and wide field of view are useful for close-range and dynamic shooting situations, while 8x magnification provides additional detail for intermediate-distance targets. The VH-MIL-BDC reticle offers supplementary aiming references, while the 0.1 MRAD adjustment turrets provide a consistent MIL-based system for mechanical corrections. This model is particularly interesting for users who prefer an SFP riflescope with a compact design and adjustable magnification.
