This riflescope combines cutting-edge technology and robust engineering, designed for long-range precision and durability. With an impressive total elevation travel of 160 MOA, it excels in long-distance shooting and hunting scenarios, providing unparalleled flexibility in elevation adjustments. Equipped with Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements and ZEISS T* multi-coated lenses, the scope delivers 90% light transmission for exceptional brightness and clarity, even in challenging lighting conditions. The advanced optics ensure sharp target resolution, while the rugged 34mm main tube enhances durability.
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.
