Sightmark Core HX
The Sightmark Core HX rifle scope combines a classic red illuminated dot duplex reticle with a large 56mm objective lens, offering superior low-light performance and ensuring bright, clear images even in tough lighting. I’ve found that the red illumination greatly enhances target acquisition, allowing for fast and precise aiming in various conditions. The side focus adjustment is a game-changer, offering parallax removal without needing to shift position, which is a huge benefit for ensuring accuracy in dynamic hunting situations. The scope
