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.
Crimson Trace Hardline
The Crimson Trace Hardline 3-9x40 is built for shooters who need a no-nonsense, durable scope that handles everything from close to mid-range engagements. Featuring a second focal plane CT Custom BDC .223/5.56 reticle, it offers precise shot placement with its 1/4 MOA click adjustments. While testing this scope, I appreciated the exposed windage and elevation turrets, allowing for quick, easy adjustments without needing tools. Its aerospace-grade aluminum construction and nitrogen-purged, multi-coated lenses hold up well in harsh conditions, staying clear and fog-free. At just 15.2 ounces, it’s a lightweight yet tough addition to any rifle setup, backed by Crimson Trace’s complete lifetime warranty for extra peace of mind.
