Sightmark Pinnacle
The Sightmark Pinnacle Riflescope stands out as a top-tier optic, ideal for a wide range of shooting scenarios. With premium Japanese glass and fully multi-coated optics, the image quality is exceptional, offering clarity that competitors struggle to match. Whether you're a competition shooter or a dedicated hunter, the Pinnacle’s first focal plane reticle ensures precise holdovers at any magnification, while the zero stop elevation dial guarantees repeatable accuracy with every shot. I’ve spent significant time testing the Pinnacle in various conditions, and the red/green illuminated reticle truly shines in low-light environments, powered by a CR2032 battery. Whether you're shooting at close range or pushing out to longer distances, the reticle’s illumination offers quick target acquisition and the flexibility to adapt to different lighting situations. The scope’s robust construction, with options for capped or exposed turrets, offers durability and customization, allowing you to fine-tune your setup for any challenge. The combination of features makes the Pinnacle an excellent choice for those who demand both precision and versatility.
Athlon Midas HMR
Introducing the Midas HMR HD riflescope line—crafted by hunters, for hunters! This exceptional scope features HD glass and advanced fully multi-coated optics, ensuring crisp and bright images for both short and long-range shots. Built from a one-piece tube of aircraft-grade aluminum, it guarantees precise and accurate performance throughout the day. The Midas HMR HD includes capped elevation and windage turrets to protect your zero from unintentional adjustments, providing confidence in every shot. With a 0.25 MOA click value and a total of 60 MOA adjustment, you can easily fine-tune your aim. The parallax adjustment ranges from 10 yards to infinity, catering to a variety of shooting situations. The illuminated reticle enhances visibility during low-light conditions, making it ideal for dawn and dusk hunting. The fully multi-coated optics effectively reduce reflected light, significantly increasing light transmission for a brighter image compared to standard lenses.
