INNOVATIVE TRUE STRENGTH TS PLATFORM
History, Development, & Technology
TS, as in True Strength®, is the signature scope construction platform of UTG® optics. As the name suggests, no matter if it's a full size or compact scope, magnifier or dot sight, we aim to achieve the highest dependability starting at the heart of our scopes' structure. The research and development of this innovative structure was initiated in 2001 and in 2002 the first TS Platform scope was put into mass production. With our continuous testing, verification, and multiple rounds of improvement, we started promoting and selling TS optics on a global scale in 2005. Today, all our optics are built on the tough TS Platform to include a one-piece integral aluminum main tube, meticulously placed reinforcements at key structural points, and nitrogen purging to achieve optimal rainproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance even in the most challenging of scenarios. This superior TS Platform has even been adopted into the lineup of UTG® laser products, giving them precise and secure adjustment.
ETCHED GLASS BG4 RETICLE
The BG4 reticle is designed to be fast and intuitive to use and features ballistic drop compensation and range finder markings out to 600 yards. The ballistic data is based on common 5.56/.223 loadings in modern sporting rifles. The three tick posts draw the eye to the center for rapid acquisition at close range, while the drop compensation allows for rapid engagement of targets throughout the platform’s effective range.
RETICLE BREAKDOWN
The center dot (A) is intended to be zeroed at 100 yards for the remaining bullet drop reference points to work as intended. As an alternative for short range zeroing, the 300 yard point (C) can be used to zero at 25 yards. If this is done, we recommend conforming the zero at 100 yards at the first opportunity. The BG4 reticle provides seven points of aim (POA) corresponding to points of impact (POI) from 100-700 yards to determine range to an 18" wide target. All of these correspond to when the optic is at full 8X magnification and may only be approximate based on your specific loading, rifle variant, and prevailing climate.
