Bushnell Rimfire
The Bushnell Rimfire 3-9x40 Riflescope is specifically designed for rimfire shooting, making it an excellent choice for small game and target shooting. With its versatile 3-9x magnification, this scope provides the flexibility needed for close to medium-range shots. Featuring a 40mm objective lens, the Rimfire scope enhances light transmission for bright and clear images, even in low-light conditions. The lens is coated with Bushnell’s Dusk & Dawn Brightness (DDB) technology, which improves visibility during early morning or late evening hunts. The scope is equipped with a simple yet effective reticle, allowing for quick target acquisition. Overall, the Bushnell Rimfire 3-9x40 is a reliable and durable choice for hunters and shooters looking for performance tailored to rimfire rifles.
Crimson Trace Hardline Pro
The Crimson Trace Hardline Pro 4-16x50 is designed for shooters who value precision and adaptability in their optics. Equipped with an illuminated CT Custom MR1-MOA reticle, this scope excels at both mid to long-range shooting, offering clear and reliable targeting on a second focal plane. The exposed turrets provide smooth, quick adjustments, while the parallax adjustment on the left side allows for precise target focus. I found the lightweight anodized aluminum construction durable and well-suited to varying field conditions, with multi-coated lenses that enhance clarity and reduce glare. At 25.4 ounces, the Hardline Pro is waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof, backed by Crimson Trace’s trusted lifetime warranty.
