Athlon Midas HMR
Introducing the Midas HMR HD riflescope line—crafted by hunters, for hunters! This exceptional scope features HD glass and advanced fully multi-coated optics, ensuring crisp and bright images for both short and long-range shots. Built from a one-piece tube of aircraft-grade aluminum, it guarantees precise and accurate performance throughout the day. The Midas HMR HD includes capped elevation and windage turrets to protect your zero from unintentional adjustments, providing confidence in every shot. With a 0.25 MOA click value and a total of 60 MOA adjustment, you can easily fine-tune your aim. The parallax adjustment ranges from 10 yards to infinity, catering to a variety of shooting situations. The illuminated reticle enhances visibility during low-light conditions, making it ideal for dawn and dusk hunting. The fully multi-coated optics effectively reduce reflected light, significantly increasing light transmission for a brighter image compared to standard lenses.
BURRIS Eliminator 5
The BURRIS Eliminator 5 is a game-changer for hunters looking for precision at long ranges. Featuring a powerful 4x-16x magnification and a 50mm objective lens, this scope provides crystal-clear clarity, making it ideal for varying shooting distances. The real standout is its built-in rangefinder, which instantly calculates the perfect holdover point for your shot. Whether you're targeting small game at close range or taking down big game at 500 yards, the Eliminator 5 adapts to your needs. I mounted it on my .308 and tested it through dense woods and wide-open fields, and it performed flawlessly—quick, accurate, and efficient. This is the kind of scope that makes every shot count.
