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.

Sightmark Core HX

The Sightmark Core HX rifle scope combines a classic red illuminated dot duplex reticle with a large 56mm objective lens, offering superior low-light performance and ensuring bright, clear images even in tough lighting. I’ve found that the red illumination greatly enhances target acquisition, allowing for fast and precise aiming in various conditions. The side focus adjustment is a game-changer, offering parallax removal without needing to shift position, which is a huge benefit for ensuring accuracy in dynamic hunting situations. The scope
