    Those who have been around our forum for a while may remember that when Athlon Optics first hit the scene back in 2014 I was pretty skeptical about them. At the time they were an unknown entity, and between the spec sheets, prices, and abundance of overwhelmingly positive reviews they were getting online it all just sounded far too good to be true. After all, Athlon Optics was just another brand that sprung up copying the Vortex business model of spec'ing out optics from Chinese ...

    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     ...

    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 ...

    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 ...

    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 ...

    The Bushnell Elite series of optics have had an excellent reputation over the years for offering great performance and quality at a reasonable price point. In fact, my oldest optic just happens to be a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40mm that I purchased in 2001 and it’s still just as clear and reliable today as it was on the day I bought it. I have also owned a few Elite 4200 series rifle scopes over the years, and my CZ 452 American in .17 HMR currently wears an Elite 6500 2.5-16x42mm. In short, the Bushnell Elite line is one I have a lot of experience with so I was excited to have this opportunity to review Bushnell’s ...
