Vortex Viper HS LR
The Vortex Viper HS LR 6-24x50 is a powerhouse scope for those dedicated to precision shooting at extended ranges. With its impressive 6-24x magnification range, this optic is designed for long-distance accuracy, making it a perfect choice for hunters and competitive shooters who need reliability far afield. Its 50mm objective lens maximizes light transmission, providing bright and clear views even in challenging lighting. The exposed target-style turrets offer precise elevation and windage adjustments, allowing users to dial in for the perfect shot. Plus, its side parallax adjustment ensures that targets remain sharp at any distance. Built with durability in mind, the Viper HS LR stands up to rugged use in various conditions. For anyone looking to extend their reach, this scope is a solid investment.
Crimson Trace Hardline Pro
The Crimson Trace Hardline Pro 4-16x50 is designed for shooters who value precision and adaptability in their optics. Equipped with an illuminated CT Custom MR1-MOA reticle, this scope excels at both mid to long-range shooting, offering clear and reliable targeting on a second focal plane. The exposed turrets provide smooth, quick adjustments, while the parallax adjustment on the left side allows for precise target focus. I found the lightweight anodized aluminum construction durable and well-suited to varying field conditions, with multi-coated lenses that enhance clarity and reduce glare. At 25.4 ounces, the Hardline Pro is waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof, backed by Crimson Trace’s trusted lifetime warranty.
