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.

The fully multi-coated lenses deliver clear, bright visuals, even as dusk sets in, while the fast-focus eyepiece makes target acquisition smooth. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum, it’s designed to withstand the bumps and knocks of hunting, with shockproof, waterproof, and fog-proof protection. For hunters seeking quality without breaking the bank, the Vortex Crossfire II delivers reliability and performance.
