Athlon Midas TAC
The Midas TAC HD 4-16 riflescope is crafted for top precision, featuring the APRS2 MIL reticle in the First Focal Plane for accurate ranging and distance determination. With high-definition glass and a large 44mm objective lens, it delivers crisp, clear imagery even in low-light settings, ensuring a sharp view of your target. Engineered for performance, this scope includes a true precision Zero Stop and a high-precision erector system, while the adaptable 4-16x magnification range provides optimal performance at various distances. Built from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum and enhanced with Argon Purging, the Midas TAC HD is shockproof and fog-proof. Its XPL-coated lenses offer added protection against impacts, making it as durable as it is reliable.
Crimson Trace Hardline Pro
The Crimson Trace Hardline Pro 4-16x50 is designed for shooters who value precision and adaptability in their optics. Equipped with an illuminated CT Custom MR1-MOA reticle, this scope excels at both mid to long-range shooting, offering clear and reliable targeting on a second focal plane. The exposed turrets provide smooth, quick adjustments, while the parallax adjustment on the left side allows for precise target focus. I found the lightweight anodized aluminum construction durable and well-suited to varying field conditions, with multi-coated lenses that enhance clarity and reduce glare. At 25.4 ounces, the Hardline Pro is waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof, backed by Crimson Trace’s trusted lifetime warranty.
