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.
Monstrum Alpha
The Alpha Series GA1424 FFP Rifle Scope by Monstrum Tactical is built for serious shooters looking for reliability without unnecessary features. With 1-4x magnification, this scope excels at close to mid-distance shooting, reaching out to 300 yards. It boasts a first focal plane MOA reticle that provides clear ranging information, making it easy to estimate distances and adjust for holdover. Constructed from tough aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum, it features a sealed, nitrogen-charged tube to keep out moisture and fog. The MIL-STD 8625 type III hard anodized finish ensures it can withstand rugged conditions. Plus, it comes with spring-loaded flip-up lens covers to keep your lenses protected. The scope also includes a two-year replacement warranty. However, it does not offer reticle illumination, locking turrets, a detachable honeycomb killflash, or scope rings.
