Sig Sauer TANGO6T
For those looking to upgrade to a first focal plane Low-Power Variable Optic (LPVO), the SIG SAUER TANGO6T FFP is a scope that delivers in both clarity and ruggedness. Originally developed with tactical engagements in mind, this scope has proven its versatility across a range of platforms, from ARs to bolt actions. I’ve had the chance to experience its 6x Super-Zoom Advanced Optical System and appreciate the glass-etched illuminated reticle, which adapts beautifully to any light, day or night. The TANGO6T’s construction combines durability with clarity, featuring HDX optics and SpectraCoat for impressive low-light performance. With its extreme waterproofing and abrasion-resistant lenses, it’s built to excel in the field.
Athlon Helos BTR
The Athlon AHMR2 IR MIL scope has garnered attention for its exceptional value and performance in the competitive optics market. With a versatile 2-12x magnification range, it caters to various shooting styles, making it suitable for everything from close-range target practice to longer-distance engagements. Users consistently highlight the clarity of the glass, which rivals higher-priced alternatives, ensuring a bright and detailed sight picture. The illuminated reticle enhances visibility in challenging light conditions, allowing shooters to maintain accuracy during dusk or dawn. Its fully multi-coated optics significantly reduce glare and improve light transmission, resulting in a brighter image.
