Crimson Trace Brushline Pro
The Crimson Trace Brushline Pro 3-9x40 is crafted with the avid hunter in mind, delivering precision and durability in a lightweight package. With a CT Custom BDC Pro reticle, this scope offers a clear, non-illuminated view on a second focal plane, making it a reliable choice for mid-range engagements. Its spring-loaded zero-reset capped turrets allow for smooth adjustments, and the windage and elevation knobs are easily accessible without tools, a feature I found convenient during field testing. Built with anodized aluminum, the Brushline Pro is waterproof, shockproof, and nitrogen-purged to ensure clear optics in any weather. Weighing just 15 ounces, it’s a practical, rugged companion, fully backed by Crimson Trace’s lifetime warranty.
Nightforce Competition
The Nightforce Competition 15-55x52 scope offers exceptional resolving power through its advanced ED glass and superior lens coatings, ensuring outstanding clarity across its entire magnification range. Weighing just 27.8 ounces, it is 24% lighter than the 12-42 x 56 Benchrest scope, enhancing maneuverability without sacrificing performance. This scope features a side parallax adjustment turret for precise focus from 25 yards to infinity, essential for minimizing optical distortion. Hi-Speed windage and elevation adjustments of .125 MOA come standard with ZeroStop, providing positive and repeatable adjustments over a lifetime of use. The non-illuminated DDR-2 reticle offers maximum precision for competitive shooters, making this scope an ideal choice for serious target applications.
