Sightmark Presidio
The Sightmark Presidio delivers excellent optical performance, thanks to its fully multi-coated lenses that maximize light transmission and ensure superior brightness and color accuracy. Whether you’re competing, plinking at the range, or out hunting, the clarity and image quality are exceptional. The low-profile locking turrets are a standout feature, offering quick, secure adjustments even in dynamic conditions. This scope’s rugged construction is reinforced by a single-piece 30mm tube made from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring it can withstand recoil and external stresses without compromising alignment. I appreciate the Presidio’s IP67 rating, which makes it dustproof, waterproof, and shockproof, allowing it to endure immersion up to 3 feet and drops of up to 3 feet. Its scratch-resistant lens coating keeps the optics in pristine condition, while the zero-stop elevation dial makes adjustments effortless and precise in any environment.
Athlon Argos BTR
For those getting started in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), the Argos BTR GEN2 scopes are worth considering. Packed with high-end features, these scopes offer a versatile 4x magnification suitable for various shooting disciplines. The Precision True Zero Stop and Advanced Fully-Multi Coated Optics deliver a crystal-clear image in low-light conditions. With an exclusive XPL coating, the lenses are protected from dirt, grease, and harsh weather, while the rugged aircraft-grade aluminum tube ensures durability in any environment. The first focal plane design allows for dynamic reticle scaling as you zoom, and the illuminated reticle enhances visibility in low light. With fully multicoated optics, these scopes provide brighter images by reducing reflections and increasing light transmission.
