Nightforce Benchrest
The Nightforce Benchrest NF 12-42x56mm F2 hunting gun scope features 56mm multi-coated lenses that provide superior resolution for discerning fine details at extreme distances. With an adjustable objective for parallax adjustments from 25 yards to infinity, this scope ensures precision at various ranges. Target turrets are calibrated in true .125 MOA (1/8 click) values, allowing for easy re-indexing to zero after sighting in. Equipped with a coil spring plunger return system, it maximizes tracking accuracy. The eyepiece enables fast reticle focusing, while the glass-etched illuminated reticle offers optimum image contrast in different lighting conditions. This scope is ideal for serious shooters seeking exceptional performance and reliability.
Crimson Trace Brushline Pro
The Crimson Trace Brushline Pro 3-9x40 is crafted with the avid hunter in mind, delivering precision and durability in a lightweight package. With a CT Custom BDC Pro reticle, this scope offers a clear, non-illuminated view on a second focal plane, making it a reliable choice for mid-range engagements. Its spring-loaded zero-reset capped turrets allow for smooth adjustments, and the windage and elevation knobs are easily accessible without tools, a feature I found convenient during field testing. Built with anodized aluminum, the Brushline Pro is waterproof, shockproof, and nitrogen-purged to ensure clear optics in any weather. Weighing just 15 ounces, it’s a practical, rugged companion, fully backed by Crimson Trace’s lifetime warranty.
