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.
ZEISS LRP S5
This compact riflescope is meticulously designed to deliver superior performance in long-range shooting and hunting scenarios. Its 34mm main tube, European-style fast-focus eyepiece, and robust turret systems, including a Ballistic Stop elevation turret and external locking windage turret, ensure precise and reliable adjustments for the most demanding conditions. Built to withstand extreme challenges, the LRP S5 riflescope endures rigorous shock tests of up to 1,500 g-force and 800 impact cycles at 1,000 g-force, ensuring durability and resilience in any environment. The premium optical design, featuring SCHOTT glass, fluoride lens elements, and T* (T-Star) coatings, provides exceptional target identification, clarity, and light transmission of up to 90%, making it ideal for low-light conditions.
