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.

Equipped with a Dead-Hold BDC reticle, the Crossfire II allows for quick adjustments when shooting at varying distances. The fully multi-coated lenses deliver clear, bright visuals, even as dusk sets in, while the fast-focus eyepiece makes target acquisition smooth. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum, it’s designed to withstand the bumps and knocks of hunting, with shockproof, waterproof, and fog-proof protection. For hunters seeking quality without breaking the bank, the Vortex Crossfire II delivers reliability and performance.
