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.
Monstrum Alpha
The Alpha Series GA1424 FFP Rifle Scope by Monstrum Tactical is built for serious shooters looking for reliability without unnecessary features. With 1-4x magnification, this scope excels at close to mid-distance shooting, reaching out to 300 yards. It boasts a first focal plane MOA reticle that provides clear ranging information, making it easy to estimate distances and adjust for holdover. Constructed from tough aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum, it features a sealed, nitrogen-charged tube to keep out moisture and fog. The MIL-STD 8625 type III hard anodized finish ensures it can withstand rugged conditions. Plus, it comes with spring-loaded flip-up lens covers to keep your lenses protected. The scope also includes a two-year replacement warranty. However, it does not offer reticle illumination, locking turrets, a detachable honeycomb killflash, or scope rings.
