Burris Veracity

The Burris Veracity riflescope is designed for hunters who need precision and durability in the field. With a versatile magnification range from 4x to 20x, it's perfect for close-range shots or long-distance targets. I used the Veracity on a recent hunt and found it to be incredibly reliable, even in low-light conditions, thanks to its high-quality glass and Illuminated Ballistic Plex reticle. The side focus parallax adjustment ensures that every shot is sharp and accurate. Whether you're in the thick of the woods or across an open field, the Veracity delivers the clarity and performance you need to make that perfect shot.

Sightmark Citadel

The Sightmark Citadel is built for precision, offering a first focal plane reticle that adjusts with magnification to maintain consistent subtensions for accurate ranging at any level. This feature is ideal for long-range shooting, making range estimation simple and reliable. One of the key advantages of the Citadel is its red illuminated reticle, which enhances target visibility in low light, ensuring you don’t miss your shot in challenging conditions. I found the exposed, low-profile locking turrets to be incredibly user-friendly, providing quick adjustments when needed while the locking mechanism ensures accuracy even under stress. The 30mm single-piece tube, made from aircraft-grade aluminum, gives the scope exceptional durability, withstanding recoil and ensuring precise alignment over time. Finally, the fully multi-coated optics provide superb image quality, maximizing light transmission and delivering bright, accurate visuals.
