Leupold VX-6HD

When I got the chance to test the Leupold VX-6HD, I was eager to see how it would perform during my hunt in the dense woods of Idaho. I needed a scope that could excel in low light and provide clarity over long distances. With a versatile 3-18x magnification, it offered everything I was looking for. What stood out was the High Definition optical system, which delivered sharp images and bright colors even at dawn and dusk. The side-focus parallax adjustment made it easy to dial in my shots, while the rugged construction handled rough terrain without a hitch. For serious hunters, the VX-6HD is a game-changer, combining advanced features with reliability in the field.

Athlon Talos

The Talos scope is built for the dedicated hunter, featuring fully multi-coated lenses that enhance light transmission for optimal brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum. Its etched glass reticle ensures durability and shock resistance, while the heat-treated one-piece tube design provides exceptional strength and moisture resistance, keeping the scope fog-proof for life. Nitrogen purging further reduces moisture inside the tube, ensuring waterproof performance in harsh conditions. With a versatile 4X magnification range, the Talos is ideal for various hunting scenarios, from whitetails in dense forests to prairie dogs in open fields. Choose from specialty reticle options like Center X, Mil Dot, or BDC600 IR for precise aiming and range estimation, empowering you to make the most of every low-light hunting opportunity.
