Leupold VX-5HD
When I set out for a week in the Rockies, I needed a scope that could handle both close-range shots and extend to 500 yards. That’s when I decided to try out the Leupold VX-5HD. Its 3-15x magnification felt like the perfect balance—giving me clarity on distant shots without the bulk of a larger scope. What impressed me the most was Leupold’s Twilight Max HD Light Management System, which kept my sight clear even in the low light of early dawn and dusk. Plus, the Custom Dial System (CDS) made adjusting for long shots a breeze. In tough terrain, this scope stood up to it all—proving it’s built for serious hunters looking for reliable performance.
Monstrum Panzer
Introducing the Monstrum 1-6x24 Panzer FFP LPVO, part of the Panzer Series, combining high-end features with unbeatable value. This first focal plane scope offers 1-6x magnification and includes an integrated throw lever for smooth control. Choose between the CM3 Reticle or Morpheus MIL Reticle—ideal for rapid target acquisition at 1x and precise ranging at higher magnifications. The FFP design ensures reticle markings adjust proportionally across magnification levels, maintaining consistent ranging accuracy. Equipped with Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass, it delivers vivid color contrast and a sharper image by minimizing chromatic aberration. Additional features include adjustable reticle illumination, an offset cantilever mount, and spring-loaded flip-up lens covers.
