Crimson Trace Hardline
The Crimson Trace Hardline 3-9x40 is built for shooters who need a no-nonsense, durable scope that handles everything from close to mid-range engagements. Featuring a second focal plane CT Custom BDC .223/5.56 reticle, it offers precise shot placement with its 1/4 MOA click adjustments. While testing this scope, I appreciated the exposed windage and elevation turrets, allowing for quick, easy adjustments without needing tools. Its aerospace-grade aluminum construction and nitrogen-purged, multi-coated lenses hold up well in harsh conditions, staying clear and fog-free. At just 15.2 ounces, it’s a lightweight yet tough addition to any rifle setup, backed by Crimson Trace’s complete lifetime warranty for extra peace of mind.
Monstrum G2
The G2-BFFPS62450-R is a high-performance tactical scope from the G2 line, featuring a first focal plane reticle and an adjustable objective (AO) lens. With a magnification range of 6-24x, it allows for precise targeting at distances over 1500 yards. The package includes heavy-duty high-profile scope rings, spring-loaded flip-up lens covers, and a honeycomb shade. The scope's functionally designed rangefinder reticle facilitates faster range estimation and holdover correction, remaining visible in black or illuminated in red or green. Equipped with 1/4 MOA windage and elevation adjustments that can be reset to zero, it also has a side focus dial for easy AO adjustments.
