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.
Bushnell Rimfire
The Bushnell Rimfire 3-9x40 Riflescope is specifically designed for rimfire shooting, making it an excellent choice for small game and target shooting. With its versatile 3-9x magnification, this scope provides the flexibility needed for close to medium-range shots. Featuring a 40mm objective lens, the Rimfire scope enhances light transmission for bright and clear images, even in low-light conditions. The lens is coated with Bushnell’s Dusk & Dawn Brightness (DDB) technology, which improves visibility during early morning or late evening hunts. The scope is equipped with a simple yet effective reticle, allowing for quick target acquisition. Overall, the Bushnell Rimfire 3-9x40 is a reliable and durable choice for hunters and shooters looking for performance tailored to rimfire rifles.
