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.

Sightmark Core HX
The Sightmark Core HX rifle scope combines a classic red illuminated dot duplex reticle with a large 56mm objective lens, offering superior low-light performance and ensuring bright, clear images even in tough lighting. I’ve found that the red illumination greatly enhances target acquisition, allowing for fast and precise aiming in various conditions. The side focus adjustment is a game-changer, offering parallax removal without needing to shift position, which is a huge benefit for ensuring accuracy in dynamic hunting situations. The scope
