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.
Sightmark Pinnacle
The Sightmark Pinnacle Riflescope stands out as a top-tier optic, ideal for a wide range of shooting scenarios. With premium Japanese glass and fully multi-coated optics, the image quality is exceptional, offering clarity that competitors struggle to match. Whether you're a competition shooter or a dedicated hunter, the Pinnacle’s first focal plane reticle ensures precise holdovers at any magnification, while the zero stop elevation dial guarantees repeatable accuracy with every shot. I’ve spent significant time testing the Pinnacle in various conditions, and the red/green illuminated reticle truly shines in low-light environments, powered by a CR2032 battery. Whether you're shooting at close range or pushing out to longer distances, the reticle’s illumination offers quick target acquisition and the flexibility to adapt to different lighting situations. The scope’s robust construction, with options for capped or exposed turrets, offers durability and customization, allowing you to fine-tune your setup for any challenge. The combination of features makes the Pinnacle an excellent choice for those who demand both precision and versatility.
