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 Neos

The Neos series scope exemplifies the perfect blend of quality, performance, and affordability for hunters who refuse to compromise. Designed with fully multi-coated lenses, it ensures superior light transmission, delivering optimal brightness and true color across the light spectrum. The scope features a durable one-piece heat-treated aluminum tube that enhances strength while keeping moisture out, guaranteeing fog-proof performance for its lifespan. Nitrogen purging further prevents internal moisture buildup, ensuring reliability in any weather condition. Equipped with versatile reticle options like Center X for clear aiming and specialized BDC designs for various applications, the Neos series is built to withstand rigorous use while remaining budget-friendly. With exceptional craftsmanship and advanced features, it proves that success in the field doesn't have to come at a high price.
