Athlon Talos
The Talos scope is built for the dedicated hunter, featuring fully multi-coated lenses that enhance light transmission for optimal brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum. Its etched glass reticle ensures durability and shock resistance, while the heat-treated one-piece tube design provides exceptional strength and moisture resistance, keeping the scope fog-proof for life. Nitrogen purging further reduces moisture inside the tube, ensuring waterproof performance in harsh conditions. With a versatile 4X magnification range, the Talos is ideal for various hunting scenarios, from whitetails in dense forests to prairie dogs in open fields. Choose from specialty reticle options like Center X, Mil Dot, or BDC600 IR for precise aiming and range estimation, empowering you to make the most of every low-light hunting opportunity.
Sightmark Presidio
The Sightmark Presidio delivers excellent optical performance, thanks to its fully multi-coated lenses that maximize light transmission and ensure superior brightness and color accuracy. Whether you’re competing, plinking at the range, or out hunting, the clarity and image quality are exceptional. The low-profile locking turrets are a standout feature, offering quick, secure adjustments even in dynamic conditions. This scope’s rugged construction is reinforced by a single-piece 30mm tube made from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring it can withstand recoil and external stresses without compromising alignment. I appreciate the Presidio’s IP67 rating, which makes it dustproof, waterproof, and shockproof, allowing it to endure immersion up to 3 feet and drops of up to 3 feet. Its scratch-resistant lens coating keeps the optics in pristine condition, while the zero-stop elevation dial makes adjustments effortless and precise in any environment.
