For those getting started in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), the Argos BTR GEN2 scopes are worth considering. Packed with high-end features, these scopes offer a versatile 4x magnification suitable for various shooting disciplines. The Precision True Zero Stop and Advanced Fully-Multi Coated Optics deliver a crystal-clear image in low-light conditions. With an exclusive XPL coating, the lenses are protected from dirt, grease, and harsh weather, while the rugged aircraft-grade aluminum tube ensures durability in any environment. The first focal plane design allows for dynamic reticle scaling as you zoom, and the illuminated reticle enhances visibility in low light. With fully multicoated optics, these scopes provide brighter images by reducing reflections and increasing light transmission.

The Burris Xtreme XTR III 5.5-30x56mm riflescope is built to handle the most demanding long-range hunts. Whether you’re taking on big game or precision shooting at extended ranges, this scope delivers unmatched clarity and precision. The 5.5-30x magnification range ensures that you can easily adjust to varying distances, from close-quarters to 500 yards and beyond. Its 56mm objective lens maximizes light transmission, providing clear images in low-light conditions. With a solid build, reliable adjustments, and a sleek design, the XTR III is a top-tier choice for hunters who demand the best in performance and durability. I mounted it on my rifle and it didn’t disappoint in the field.
