For those who are wondering what a Majesta scope is, this new 8-80×56 High Master Majesta scope has amazing features such as a Wide Angle eyepiece, and the High Master lens system. The 25 degrees wide angle eyepiece which is 25% wider than the standard 20 degrees eyepiece, increases the image area by 156% over a regular 20 degree eyepiece. Super ED lenses incorporated in the High Master lens system suppresses chromatic aberration even more than with ED lenses and thus produce a sharper image with greater contrast.  The shimmer protection of this riflescope has been further enhanced to help deal with bad mirage conditions at high magnification. John Masek, better known as F-Class John on YouTube, who became the F-Open MR US National Champion 2023 also shot with the 8-80×56 Majesta scope.
