ZEISS LRP S5

This compact riflescope is meticulously designed to deliver superior performance in long-range shooting and hunting scenarios. Its 34mm main tube, European-style fast-focus eyepiece, and robust turret systems, including a Ballistic Stop elevation turret and external locking windage turret, ensure precise and reliable adjustments for the most demanding conditions. Built to withstand extreme challenges, the LRP S5 riflescope endures rigorous shock tests of up to 1,500 g-force and 800 impact cycles at 1,000 g-force, ensuring durability and resilience in any environment. The premium optical design, featuring SCHOTT glass, fluoride lens elements, and T* (T-Star) coatings, provides exceptional target identification, clarity, and light transmission of up to 90%, making it ideal for low-light conditions.

Sightmark Citadel

The Sightmark Citadel is built for precision, offering a first focal plane reticle that adjusts with magnification to maintain consistent subtensions for accurate ranging at any level. This feature is ideal for long-range shooting, making range estimation simple and reliable. One of the key advantages of the Citadel is its red illuminated reticle, which enhances target visibility in low light, ensuring you don’t miss your shot in challenging conditions. I found the exposed, low-profile locking turrets to be incredibly user-friendly, providing quick adjustments when needed while the locking mechanism ensures accuracy even under stress. The 30mm single-piece tube, made from aircraft-grade aluminum, gives the scope exceptional durability, withstanding recoil and ensuring precise alignment over time. Finally, the fully multi-coated optics provide superb image quality, maximizing light transmission and delivering bright, accurate visuals.
