Sig Sauer Buckmasters
When I decided to hunt deer in the dense woods of Virginia, I knew my riflescope needed to offer both clarity and durability. The Sig Sauer Buckmasters 3-9x50mm, with its 3x optical system and custom BDC reticle, seemed like the right fit. Out there, in low morning light, I found its low-dispersion glass delivered a bright, clear image even at 500 yards, where I could accurately gauge distance with the BDC reticle’s holdover dots. Built to endure rough conditions, the Buckmasters’ waterproof, shockproof, and fogproof design kept me on target, rain or shine. It felt like a reliable companion for any hunt.
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.
