Just received my Helix Element Optics 6-24X50... I can say this, the guys who invented this, Matt, and Ted and company have been in the airgun turf for YEARS. And the information coming from these guys comes from years of experience in field use... The box it comes in is very nice and protected, upon close inspection, the product looks like it's build like a tank build to last, and what else can one want from a warranty!!! I've used it and believe you me, for 399euros, you can't beat it!!

[@TommyTucker0]

I have owned a Helix for 9 months now and I love it, it is just a really good quality product and the turrets are so slick

[@keanematthews]

Great looking glass. Since Ted was involved in the design, they must work well on airguns. I'm looking forward to putting one up against scopes at similar price points from industry-leading manufacturers.

[@commonsense5709]

Don't compare Element scopes to similar priced or even cheaper priced scopes from other brands. You'll be disappointed.

[@commonsense5709]

Already compared the Elements Nexus to the Arken EP5 specifically at 5-20x magnification and it was shocking to notice first hand that a $450 Chinese scope can actually be better than a $1500 Japanese scope. This isn't shilling, this is a fact. Just don't buy the Arken SH4 6-24x model. I got severe eye fatigue when using that one just like when I tried shooting behind the Element Helix.

[@N71403]

I thought IWA was postponed. Great looking kit!

[@dannywarren1549]

So have the hash lines been fixed to be more accurate??? We seen on cyclops review... they were out

[@Sertao2013]

I think I would get the Helix if it was illuminated . For air gun hunting it really comes in handy because your in the woods and a lot of times aiming at the ground where it can get really dark . They really missed the boat by not adding that . I hope the next version will have it . I'm waiting .

[@commonsense5709]

The new line of light weight Arken EPL4s 30mm with Japanese ELD (Extra Low Dispersion) glass have illumination with very similar specifications compared to the Element Helix models. The Element Helix has a very unforgiving eye box. The cheaper Arken EP4Ls may be a superior alternative. They are also made in China as do the Helix and Titan.

[@pigbeater9286]

Will the helix hold up on a asp20? I love the rifle but its already broke a hawke airmax ffp and a Athlon Talos. Gonna go back to a sfp because I haven't broke one of those yet.

[@nellcreations9044]

Hi guys... Can't wait to se the scopes first hand. All the way from South Africa. Fell in love with airgunning about a year ago after my wife bought me my first pcp... Yes... Now its a problem after my 3rd pcp in a year... Fx impact 😻

How is the warranty executed in the USA

[@jamesdenny4734]

Well whenever I get my crown continuum, I will think about putting a element scope (least expensive) on it !

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

........I started with a Helix and, honestly I'm not that sure about the clarity and quality of it. Then I moved on with Titan and well....what a difference! Helix got in the mix with other manufactures, period!

[@rickoshea8138]

How about a true 1 - 4X scope, with parallax adjustment down to 7 yards. A lot of airgunners are older and simply need sharper vision to enable shooting offhand, up to 25 yards. Too much magnification makes offhand shooting difficult because it causes wobble to feed back on itself. How crisp you scope is at 20X matters only when shooting from a rest. I hardly ever shoot from a bench, so it is wasted on me. Prone would work, but then I can't get up... Or, is it a case of, people equate magnification with value? I equate clarity with value, over magnification. Thanks for your consideration.

[@claytonteufel649]

I'm clueless who spends $1,500 on a scope? That's why I went to airguning it's cheaper but I do hope your company does well you Matt and Ted are great people wish you the best I just can't afford something like that.

[@mikel9162]

People who actually understand the benefits of fine optics. For what ever reason, although the US is a shooting culture, we are far behind on the understanding of optics. the Germans for instance will tell you that the scope should be the higher price item than the fire arm. Why? because fine optics can bring out the very best in any shooting system. A lower priced Arm with fine optics can out shoot a very fine Arm with poor optics. Which we have in abundance. Our US builders rely on advertisement rather than fine systems. Are you listening Lupy? Sadly, we have really never been introduced to the better optics in this country. I use Zeiss. and have in years past faced ridicule for having a Zeiss on a PCP. Finally, those days are mostly gone. Airgunners are starting to pay attention. Especially those of us who use slugs and shoot at very long ranges. KnifeMaker

[@mikel9162]

Just one example of what they do for you. I can actually watch in great detail the flight path of a slug from close int to its final destination. Clear and precise. Something you cannot do with inferior optics. Is the slug or pellet tail wagging? spiraling? Clean flight path? Without good optics, you will never know. Read mirage,? Well, can you with your scope? In night time varmiting, I can watch the slug find its target. No wondering if it was a good shot or not. A laser straight streak to the target in your mounted light. Plain as day. A nicer silver streak dead on target including impact. And finally, I can see the hits in a target even with a .22 at 200 yards. No spotting scope or endless walks down range to see where the shots are hitting. Is that a mouse at 100 yards in failing evening light? Poor optics, what mouse. Fine optics, that mouse has a nick in the left ear! It makes that much difference!

[@simpleman4196]

So if all three scopes are the same inside and out other than illumination why such a price difference? Does it all come down to the glass quality?

[@christianbehier2221]

When researching this, it’s the number of lenses (Helix 12, Titan 17), the coatings of the lenses and the lens density/quality.

[@regsparkes6507]

I have a question, as I'm in Canada, and I would buy these scopes from a Canadian Dealer,..does that dealer ( or any dealer ) have the authority and ability to handle any warranty claim, in-house or does it have to be sent to the U.S. ? If a claim under warranty can't be settled at the Dealer level,.then that would be the 'deal breaker' for me.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Reg Sparkes The problem is that in the case of a warranty claim, the scope would have to be put on a collimator any everything checked on a very precise level. For this to be done at dealer level would require every dealer to have this equipment and training. I think only a very very small percentage of scope dealers can do this, and if they do claim to do warranty work they are likely sending your product straight to the manufacturer anyway. So we see it as a benefit that the scope would come direct to us, it would save you the time of passing it through the dealers hands first before it gets properly tested👍🏻

[@uzumlubay]

Why no mention that this brand is closely affiliated to FX Airguns. Both Axel and Johan Axellson are heavily involved, probably also provided the financing.

[@mikel9162]

Actually, they are not heavily involved. Fredric provided the financing as he sees it as a Great Venture. He has promised to stay out of any over riding of the designee and manufacturing. It is venture of Matt, Ted and Shane. Period. KnifeMaker

[@uzumlubay]

@@mikel9162 Funny, Element Optics website says Johan Axellson is very involved. "Johan’s keen knowledge of 3D CAD design software, machining and materials make him an integral member of our team, and continuous investment towards quality design and engineering ensures we will always be moving forward."

[@mikel9162]

Yes, that is true. However, it is NOT an FX company, or Subsidiary. It is independent. Johan's expertise is valuable and a friend to the three fellows. No reason what so ever not to accept his help. This does not make it an FX Brand or product. Evan if it was an FX product, there would be nothing wrong with them bringing out a superior product. I fail to see the issue. Knife

[@uzumlubay]

@@mikel9162 I never used the word subsidiary, I said affiliated which it is. With Fredrik supplying financing for which it is likely that he has taken an equity stake in the company and Johan's involvement there are obvious ties. I never said that this was in any way negative but was a little surprised that this element of the founding of the company was being hidden and/or minimised. I doubt that without FX/Axelsson family involvement that this company could have been formed.
