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.
Nightforce Benchrest
The Nightforce Benchrest NF 12-42x56mm F2 hunting gun scope features 56mm multi-coated lenses that provide superior resolution for discerning fine details at extreme distances. With an adjustable objective for parallax adjustments from 25 yards to infinity, this scope ensures precision at various ranges. Target turrets are calibrated in true .125 MOA (1/8 click) values, allowing for easy re-indexing to zero after sighting in. Equipped with a coil spring plunger return system, it maximizes tracking accuracy. The eyepiece enables fast reticle focusing, while the glass-etched illuminated reticle offers optimum image contrast in different lighting conditions. This scope is ideal for serious shooters seeking exceptional performance and reliability.
