From my chair, I can’t see any convincing argument against better ammunition, better guns, better optics or simplified technology. Especially if those advancements contribute to more humane harvests and fewer wounded or lost animals.
The Meprolight MVO 3-18×44 FFP is one of the best designed, best put-together, best performing all-around rifle scopes I’ve ever used. It’s compact, has a great zoom range, gives you two illumination color options and performs really well in low light conditions.
You probably know all the benefits of a prism sight. It has an etched reticle that works even if your
The Gideon Optics Advocate compact micro prism sight, with its etched reticle is designed for shooters who need — or just prefer — a compact optic.
It’s pretty impressive what Chinese-made optics can deliver at a very low price. The lack of zero stop, a simple reticle, and second focal plane will keep it out of what most people will want for competitive shooting, but that’s not what most people want a scope for.
Where most folks go wrong is cranking on those windage and elevation turrets trying to match the reticle to the laser dot. What’s the problem with that? Every click moves you away from optical center—the sweet spot of your scope’s internal lens system.
Last month, at the NRA Show in Atlanta, we caught up with Burris’s Bruno Beccaria and Jordan Egli to get their perspective on running yet another Beretta-owned brand and how Bruno’s transition from firearms to optics has been going.
There are few things that seem to confuse lots of rifle shooters than the difference between first and second focal plane scopes. People know there’s a cost difference between the two and that hunters generally prefer SFP scopes, but not everyone really knows why.
Armasight designs and builds their optics in their Tempe, Arizona facility. American made optics might be more expensive than their imported counterparts, but the quality is evident.
This is one of the most routine, unsurprising scopes I’ve checked out. It does everything you want a $449 scope to do, especially since it’s covered by the Vortex VIP warranty.
