Nightforce NXS
For those getting started in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), the Nightforce NXS 8-32x56mm scope is an excellent option. Designed for precision, this scope features a versatile magnification range that ensures no target is beyond reach. The ZeroStop elevation technology allows for quick returns to zero, while the broad 8-32x magnification provides versatility for various applications. The MOAR-T reticle with .0625 MOA lines facilitates accurate range finding and holdover estimation. Constructed from durable aircraft-grade aluminum, this scope is built to withstand tough conditions. The second focal plane design ensures that the reticle maintains size relative to the target as you zoom in or out, and the illumination enhances visibility during low-light situations. With its advanced optics, the NXS delivers bright images and reliable performance in any environment.
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.
