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.

Monstrum G3

Experience exceptional range and accuracy with the adjustable 3-18x magnification of this high-performance tactical rifle scope, built for mid to long-distance shooting up to 1000 yards. Featuring a first focal plane MOA reticle, the etched crosshair remains proportional at all magnifications, providing clear, reliable ranging information and simplified holdover adjustments. Constructed from durable 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, the scope is nitrogen-charged and weather-sealed to resist fog and harsh conditions. It includes 1/4 MOA windage and elevation adjustments with zero setting, a parallax adjustment dial for sharper focus and range estimation, and red reticle illumination with multiple brightness levels for low-light visibility. The package includes high-profile Picatinny rings, a detachable sunshade, and spring-loaded flip-up lens covers.
