Sig Sauer Tango-MSR
The Sig Sauer TANGO-MSR 1-6x24mm riflescope combines exceptional value with top-tier features, crafted for versatile performance in the field. Part of the TANGO-MSR line, it includes an illuminated MSR-BDC6 reticle for precise aiming, factory-installed flip-back lens covers, and a removable thread-in magnification throw lever, all mounted on the durable ALPHA-MSR cantilever mount. Inspired by the acclaimed TANGO6T riflescope, a three-time US military contract winner, the TANGO-MSR brings advanced optical technology to civilian shooters. Designed for close to mid-range targeting, it offers a clear, bright view even at full magnification, making it ideal for precision at distances up to 200 yards.
Leupold VX-5HD
When I set out for a week in the Rockies, I needed a scope that could handle both close-range shots and extend to 500 yards. That’s when I decided to try out the Leupold VX-5HD. Its 3-15x magnification felt like the perfect balance—giving me clarity on distant shots without the bulk of a larger scope. What impressed me the most was Leupold’s Twilight Max HD Light Management System, which kept my sight clear even in the low light of early dawn and dusk. Plus, the Custom Dial System (CDS) made adjusting for long shots a breeze. In tough terrain, this scope stood up to it all—proving it’s built for serious hunters looking for reliable performance.
