Sightmark Pinnacle

The Sightmark Pinnacle Riflescope stands out as a top-tier optic, ideal for a wide range of shooting scenarios. With premium Japanese glass and fully multi-coated optics, the image quality is exceptional, offering clarity that competitors struggle to match. Whether you're a competition shooter or a dedicated hunter, the Pinnacle’s first focal plane reticle ensures precise holdovers at any magnification, while the zero stop elevation dial guarantees repeatable accuracy with every shot. I’ve spent significant time testing the Pinnacle in various conditions, and the red/green illuminated reticle truly shines in low-light environments, powered by a CR2032 battery. Whether you're shooting at close range or pushing out to longer distances, the reticle’s illumination offers quick target acquisition and the flexibility to adapt to different lighting situations. The scope’s robust construction, with options for capped or exposed turrets, offers durability and customization, allowing you to fine-tune your setup for any challenge. The combination of features makes the Pinnacle an excellent choice for those who demand both precision and versatility.

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.
