    Last month we took a look at Bushnell's new Prime series of rifle scopes in our review of the 3-9x40mm model. This month we're moving up a tier in Bushnell's arsenal of optics to their Nitro line, this time focusing on the 2.5-10x44mm model with Multi-X reticle.

    For nearly two decades now I have been a fan of Bushnell's Elite Series of rifle scopes. In the early days they were sold under the Bausch & Lomb brand in the 3000 and 4000 series, later replaced by the 3200 and 4200 series' under the Bushnell marquee. In the late 2000's both product lines were again upgraded resulting ...

    With more and more competition entering into the optics market every year, existing brands have to work extra hard to stay competitive and maintain their market share. This means bringing new products to market more frequently and updating existing products more often to keep them fresh. The new Bushnell Elite Tactical DMR II Pro     ...

    In January of this year Leupold announced the all new VX-Freedom line of rifle scopes at the 2018 SHOT Show. This new line was designed to be the replacement for the VX-1 and VX-2 model lines that had quietly been discontinued the previous fall. This new line of rifle scopes has an updated look similar to that of Leupold's Mark AR line of scopes, while also offering ...

    Browse through the catalog of any optic manufacturer and you would be hard pressed not to notice that a lot of attention is being directed at AR/MSR specific optics these days. Whether you're looking for a reflex or red-dot sight for CQB-type work, something that will take you out to 1,000 yards and beyond, or anything in between, the market is literally flooded with new and improved AR/MSR optics to fill     ...

    Interest in thermal imaging devices has grown considerably among shooters and sportsmen in recent years, and as a result a few of the more forward thinking brands in the sport optics industry have started dipping their feet into this relatively new but rapidly growing market. Leupold & Stevens of Beaverton, Oregon is one such company, and for 2017 they have released their second thermal imaging device in as many years – the LTO Tracker.

    In recent years there has been a significant increase in interest when it comes to long-range shooting, and as a result we have seen manufacturers bring more and more product to market specifically geared towards that type of use. Leupold’s new line of VX-3i LRP (Long Range Precision) rifle scopes is one such line of products, and today we will be looking at one of the 8.5-25x50mm models from this new line.

    The Vortex Diamondback series of rifle scopes has been very popular for a number of years now, and for good reason. The line offers great value by providing very good optical quality and quality construction that most anyone can afford. However, as the market continues to trend more towards the long-range niche more and more shooters were asking Vortex to offer something similar with exposed tactical-style turrets. Vortex has answered that call with their new Diamondback Tactical line ...

    As firearms have become more and more specialized in recent years, it’s no surprise that optical sights have followed suite. Every year we see companies bring forth new lines tailored to a specific application or use. Some are designed for long-range use, while others are specifically for close-in work. Some are geared strictly towards hunting while others are designed solely for competition. The new Bushnell Trophy Xtreme series of rifle scopes seems to follow that pattern.

    Purchasing a scope for a new rimfire rifle is often one of the hardest decisions we shooters will have to make. On one hand we want a good quality scope, but on the other we often don’t want to spend a lot as the rifle itself was fairly inexpensive. Not many shooters are willing to drop $400+ on a scope for a rifle that cost them less than $300 so optic manufacturers have to walk a fine ...
