The reticle is a simple, black, duplex crosshair whose lines get thinner near the center for less obscuration of the target. The centermost portion of the reticle has a single point, whereas the crosshairs have been interrupted for even more visibility on target. The black center point can also be illuminated red by using the dial on the left side of the scope. This offers a nice contrast against dark colored targets, or during low-light hunts or range sessions. The illumination isn’t quite as bright as a red dot sight, but with 11 brightness settings, it adds a layer of practicality to the overall package. I will also say that the illuminated center dot is brighter to the naked eye than my camera.

The windage and elevation turrets of the Winchester Supreme 1-4x24mm scope are capped, which may be a pro or a con depending on your stance on the topic. For newcomers to the shooting sports, capped turrets mean that you’ll need to unscrew caps to adjust the elevation or windage turrets. You can choose to leave the caps off, or just screw them back on after your hunt or range time. The adjustments are made in half (½) Minute of Angle (MOA) per click. Each click is both audible and tactile for feedback to the user. Each turret is notched for added grip, and each can be unscrewed to reset the turret to zero once you’ve zeroed your reticle to your point of aim. A penny fits perfectly to unscrew the turret for zeroing it out.

The magnification is changed via a knurled ring forward of the ocular lens. The magnification ring adjusts easily without the use of a lever or raised knuckle, which is good since there isn’t any. Although this gives the Winchester Supreme 1-4x rifle scope a sleeker functionality without having to worry about catching a lever on something. There’s also less magnification range to manipulate and I can switch from 1x to 4x with a couple of quick twists of the ring. The magnification indications are 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, and 4x.

RANGE TIME

The 1-4x magnification ratio isn’t as popular these days compared to 1-6x and 1-8x offerings. However, I’ve actually championed the 1-4x over the higher magnification LPVO scopes over the years, especially for Second Focal Plane (SFP) options. Although the Winchester Supreme 1-4x rifle scope doesn’t have a Ballistic Drop Compensator reticle, it does still have subtensions within the various features of the crosshairs, which means that you’ll need to be at the highest magnification to use the listed measurements (see the photo directly below). For my purposes, I didn’t need to use those subtensions, but they’re there in case anyone desires them.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The Winchester Supreme 1-4x rifle scope is a great optic on numerous levels. On one hand, the MSRP of $264.99 is a perfect price point for beginner optics, and the simplistic crosshair complements the basic utility. On the other hand, it offers image quality that surpasses what one would expect for the cost, and thus, shouldn’t be overlooked by more experienced shooters just based on the MSRP. If you’re looking for an LVPO scope for a practical rifle build, I recommend outfitting a rifle with the Winchester Supreme 1-4x24mm rifle scope.
