Vortex Optics Sonora 4-12x44 Second Focal Plane Riflescope - Dead-Hold BDC Reticle

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.

Vortex Sonora

The Vortex Sonora riflescope is designed for hunters seeking affordability without compromising performance. With a 4-12x44 configuration, the Sonora offers a versatile magnification range, making it suitable for both close and mid-range targets. The fully multi-coated lenses enhance brightness and clarity, essential for spotting game in low-light environments. One of its standout features is the Dead-Hold BDC reticle, perfect for shooting at different ranges without constant adjustments. The fast-focus eyepiece ensures you can acquire targets quickly, while the durable construction is shockproof, waterproof, and fog-proof, ensuring reliable performance. For hunters looking for a dependable, budget-friendly option, the Vortex Sonora is built to get the job done in any environment.
