Burris Droptine

When I decided to take on a weekend hunt in the rugged terrain, I knew I needed a riflescope that could handle both close-range and longer shots without adding unnecessary bulk. Enter the Burris Droptine 3-9x40mm. This scope strikes the perfect balance between magnification and lightweight design. It offers a solid 3-9x zoom range that’s versatile enough for anything from brush shots to reaching out at 300 yards. The Ballistic Plex reticle adds precision for those longer shots, and the optics deliver clear, bright images no matter the lighting. After putting the Droptine through a series of tests, it’s clear this scope is built for performance in the field.

Athlon Midas HMR

Introducing the Midas HMR HD riflescope line—crafted by hunters, for hunters! This exceptional scope features HD glass and advanced fully multi-coated optics, ensuring crisp and bright images for both short and long-range shots. Built from a one-piece tube of aircraft-grade aluminum, it guarantees precise and accurate performance throughout the day. The Midas HMR HD includes capped elevation and windage turrets to protect your zero from unintentional adjustments, providing confidence in every shot. With a 0.25 MOA click value and a total of 60 MOA adjustment, you can easily fine-tune your aim. The parallax adjustment ranges from 10 yards to infinity, catering to a variety of shooting situations. The illuminated reticle enhances visibility during low-light conditions, making it ideal for dawn and dusk hunting. The fully multi-coated optics effectively reduce reflected light, significantly increasing light transmission for a brighter image compared to standard lenses.
