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.
Nightforce Atacr

With parallax adjustment down to 10 meters and 100 MOA of elevation travel, this scope delivers precision from short to extreme long-range shooting. Its impressive field of view makes it easy to locate and engage targets, ensuring unmatched accuracy and repeatability for both competition and long-range applications.
