Nightforce NXS

For those getting started in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), the Nightforce NXS 8-32x56mm scope is an excellent option. Designed for precision, this scope features a versatile magnification range that ensures no target is beyond reach. The ZeroStop elevation technology allows for quick returns to zero, while the broad 8-32x magnification provides versatility for various applications. The MOAR-T reticle with .0625 MOA lines facilitates accurate range finding and holdover estimation. Constructed from durable aircraft-grade aluminum, this scope is built to withstand tough conditions. The second focal plane design ensures that the reticle maintains size relative to the target as you zoom in or out, and the illumination enhances visibility during low-light situations. With its advanced optics, the NXS delivers bright images and reliable performance in any environment.

Crimson Trace Brushline

For hunters looking for a reliable mid-range scope, the Crimson Trace Brushline 4-12x40 offers a blend of durability and precision. This scope is crafted with a second focal plane custom CTC BDC reticle, providing accuracy up to 12x magnification with a 40mm lens. After field testing it, I noticed its simple windage and elevation adjustments, which make sighting in smooth and require no tools. The anodized aluminum build, along with waterproof and nitrogen-purged lenses, ensures it holds up in any weather. With its lightweight frame and spring-loaded zero-reset turrets, it’s a dependable optic that balances practicality with performance. Crimson Trace’s lifetime warranty further reassures you of its lasting quality.
