Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen II
The Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 is built for precision and performance, catering to hunters and long-range shooters alike. With its 5-25x magnification, this scope is ideal for extended ranges, providing clarity and detail necessary for critical shots. The illuminated reticle, combined with its precision-glide erector system, offers smooth magnification adjustments, which proves invaluable when conditions demand quick and accurate changes. Engineered with tactical shooting in mind, the Viper PST Gen II features an exposed turret with RZR zero stop, allowing you to return to zero with ease. Add in its rugged construction, and you've got a scope designed to perform in tough environments while delivering high-end features that make the shot count.
Sightmark Core 2.0 TX
The Sightmark Core 2.0 TX riflescope stands out for its Ballistic Drop (BD) reticle, calibrated specifically for 55gr 5.56x45mm ammunition. This feature really enhances targeting and accuracy, particularly when using this popular caliber. I’ve been using it for a range of shooting scenarios, and the 1-4x magnification has proven versatile, making it ideal for both close-quarters and mid-range engagements. The 24mm objective lens diameter ensures excellent light transmission, delivering a sharp and clear image in various lighting conditions. The adjustable parallax settings, calibrated for 100 yards, allow for precise aiming without reticle shift at that range, making it a perfect fit for both precision shooting and hunting. With an impressive 140 MOA windage adjustment range, it’s easy to compensate for wind drift and dial in on target. Whether in competitive shooting or in the field, this scope offers accuracy and reliability that consistently delivers.
