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.

For hunters looking for a reliable mid-range scope, the Crimson Trace Brushline 4-12x40 offers a blend of durability and precision. This scope is crafted with a second focal plane custom CTC BDC reticle, providing accuracy up to 12x magnification with a 40mm lens. After field testing it, I noticed its simple windage and elevation adjustments, which make sighting in smooth and require no tools. The anodized aluminum build, along with waterproof and nitrogen-purged lenses, ensures it holds up in any weather. With its lightweight frame and spring-loaded zero-reset turrets, it’s a dependable optic that balances practicality with performance. Crimson Trace’s lifetime warranty further reassures you of its lasting quality.
