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.

Its first focal plane (FFP) reticle allows for accurate holdovers and adjustments at any magnification level, a valuable feature for long-distance precision. Built with fully multi-coated lenses, the Hornet reduces glare and enhances clarity, while its waterproof and fog-proof construction ensures reliability in all weather conditions.
