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.
ATN Thor 4
The ATN ThOR 4 Smart HD Thermal Hunting Scope represents a leap in thermal imaging technology, combining traditional optic design with advanced features for the modern hunter. Powered by the Obsidian IV Dual Core Processor, it delivers exceptional thermal sensitivity, improved resolution, and contrast for precise target detection in any environment. With a thermal zoom range from 1.25-5x to 4-40x, it adapts effortlessly to varying distances, while Black Hot, White Hot, and Color viewing modes enhance visibility. This scope is packed with smart features like a built-in Ballistics Calculator for accurate POI correction, recoil-activated video recording, and compatibility with Micro SD cards up to 64GB. The long-lasting power management system ensures 16+ hours of operation, while the 3" eye relief and multiple reticle options provide comfort and versatility. Accessories like the ATN ABL Laser Range Finder, Quick Detach Mount, and Battery Pack Kit expand functionality, making the ThOR 4 an invaluable tool for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.
