I just interviewed Tony from MK Machining<\/a> at SHOT Show. I asked him about their latest creation, the Vortex Impact 4000 anti-reflective device or ARD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike previous launches, the team at MK Machining had a heads-up about the upcoming product. With ample time to dive into the details, the team quickly recognized the Vortex Impact as a game-changer for those immersed in the world of long range shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ARD serves as a great barrier to protect the large glass lens of the Impact 4000. Additionally, the ARD utilizes a honeycomb pattern to help reduce any possible reflection from the lens. For added security against dirt and debris, the Flip Cat versions offer a water-tight seal, although the term “waterproof” isn’t thrown around lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its robust design, the Vortex Impact maintains a watertight seal, dispelling concerns about functionality in adverse conditions. The large cell ARD guarantees minimal interference with laser transmission, preserving accuracy during ranging at various distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
A front flip cap is optional for the ARD.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tony, heavily involved in the Research and Development phase, attested to the device’s impressive stability. Rigorous testing showed less than a 1% degree of change in accuracy across different ranges, pushing out to nearly 1,000 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy assembly is a standout feature, with a snap-fit design eliminating the need for additional hardware. The unit seamlessly slides onto the scope, complete with lips to prevent any unwanted rattling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those looking to further protect their Vortex Impact 4000, MK Machining offers the individual cap and ARDs<\/a> at $60. For added convenience, integrated ARD and cap combos are available for $80, with various color options to suit individual preferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
