Burris Droptine
When I decided to take on a weekend hunt in the rugged terrain, I knew I needed a riflescope that could handle both close-range and longer shots without adding unnecessary bulk. Enter the Burris Droptine 3-9x40mm. This scope strikes the perfect balance between magnification and lightweight design. It offers a solid 3-9x zoom range that’s versatile enough for anything from brush shots to reaching out at 300 yards. The Ballistic Plex reticle adds precision for those longer shots, and the optics deliver clear, bright images no matter the lighting. After putting the Droptine through a series of tests, it’s clear this scope is built for performance in the field.
Leupold Mark 4HD
The Leupold Mark 4HD is designed for serious shooters, offering an impressive magnification range of 8-32x, making it ideal for precision long-range shooting. Its 56mm objective lens maximizes light transmission, ensuring bright and clear images in various lighting conditions. Equipped with the Twilight Max HD Light Management System, the Mark 4HD delivers superior clarity, especially during dawn and dusk. The scope features a rugged, waterproof construction and a Zero Lock elevation dial for precise adjustments. With its combination of advanced optics and durable design, the Leupold Mark 4HD is a reliable choice for tactical shooters and hunters seeking top-tier performance in the field.
