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.
