Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen II

The Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 is built for precision and performance, catering to hunters and long-range shooters alike. With its 5-25x magnification, this scope is ideal for extended ranges, providing clarity and detail necessary for critical shots. The illuminated reticle, combined with its precision-glide erector system, offers smooth magnification adjustments, which proves invaluable when conditions demand quick and accurate changes. Engineered with tactical shooting in mind, the Viper PST Gen II features an exposed turret with RZR zero stop, allowing you to return to zero with ease. Add in its rugged construction, and you've got a scope designed to perform in tough environments while delivering high-end features that make the shot count.

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.
