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.
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.
