Nightforce Competition

The Nightforce Competition 15-55x52 scope offers exceptional resolving power through its advanced ED glass and superior lens coatings, ensuring outstanding clarity across its entire magnification range. Weighing just 27.8 ounces, it is 24% lighter than the 12-42 x 56 Benchrest scope, enhancing maneuverability without sacrificing performance. This scope features a side parallax adjustment turret for precise focus from 25 yards to infinity, essential for minimizing optical distortion. Hi-Speed windage and elevation adjustments of .125 MOA come standard with ZeroStop, providing positive and repeatable adjustments over a lifetime of use. The non-illuminated DDR-2 reticle offers maximum precision for competitive shooters, making this scope an ideal choice for serious target applications.

The Argos HMR is thoughtfully designed with the average outdoorsman in mind, offering a compact and durable hunting scope that is both feature-rich and affordable. With 5x and 6x magnification ratios, it is perfectly suited for a variety of close and long-range hunting scenarios.

The Ares ETR First Focal Plane scope takes long-range shooting to new heights. It features a revamped turret system with a locking Windage turret and a true zero stop on the elevation turret, ensuring consistent and accurate adjustments. Extra Low dispersion lenses produce sharp, vibrant images with excellent color reproduction, and the 34mm tube construction is built to endure the harshest conditions. With a 0.1 MIL click value, a total elevation adjustment of 32 MIL, and a parallax adjustment from 25 yards to infinity, this scope is a top-tier choice for precision shooting enthusiasts.
