Crimson Trace Hardline

The Crimson Trace Hardline 3-9x40 is built for shooters who need a no-nonsense, durable scope that handles everything from close to mid-range engagements. Featuring a second focal plane CT Custom BDC .223/5.56 reticle, it offers precise shot placement with its 1/4 MOA click adjustments. While testing this scope, I appreciated the exposed windage and elevation turrets, allowing for quick, easy adjustments without needing tools. Its aerospace-grade aluminum construction and nitrogen-purged, multi-coated lenses hold up well in harsh conditions, staying clear and fog-free. At just 15.2 ounces, it’s a lightweight yet tough addition to any rifle setup, backed by Crimson Trace’s complete lifetime warranty for extra peace of mind.

Athlon Midas TAC

The Midas TAC HD 4-16 riflescope is crafted for top precision, featuring the APRS2 MIL reticle in the First Focal Plane for accurate ranging and distance determination. With high-definition glass and a large 44mm objective lens, it delivers crisp, clear imagery even in low-light settings, ensuring a sharp view of your target. Engineered for performance, this scope includes a true precision Zero Stop and a high-precision erector system, while the adaptable 4-16x magnification range provides optimal performance at various distances. Built from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum and enhanced with Argon Purging, the Midas TAC HD is shockproof and fog-proof. Its XPL-coated lenses offer added protection against impacts, making it as durable as it is reliable.
