Athlon Talos

The Talos scope is built for the dedicated hunter, featuring fully multi-coated lenses that enhance light transmission for optimal brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum. Its etched glass reticle ensures durability and shock resistance, while the heat-treated one-piece tube design provides exceptional strength and moisture resistance, keeping the scope fog-proof for life. Nitrogen purging further reduces moisture inside the tube, ensuring waterproof performance in harsh conditions. With a versatile 4X magnification range, the Talos is ideal for various hunting scenarios, from whitetails in dense forests to prairie dogs in open fields. Choose from specialty reticle options like Center X, Mil Dot, or BDC600 IR for precise aiming and range estimation, empowering you to make the most of every low-light hunting opportunity.

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.
