Leupold
The VX-6 riflescope series features a powerful 6:1 zoom ratio and delivers clear edge-to-edge images across the entire magnification range. The dial combines the customizable Custom Dial System (CDS) with a solid, repeatable zero-lock to ensure no accidental zero shift. CDS dials change out easily, providing flexibility with different loads, conditions, and calibers. CDS works by laser-inscribing the scope’s elevation dial to match specific load data (even hand loads), velocity, and conditions. Each CDS dial is unique, taking all practical ballistic and environmental factors into account. The Wind-Plex reticle adds wind-hold marks on the windage plane of the reticle for simple corrections, creating a fast, accurate ballistic aiming system when paired with the CDS-ZL dials.

New England Custom Gun
The new 2.5-10×50 Polar T96 from Schmidt & Bender is the first riflescope to achieve true light transmission of more than 96 percent. Schmidt & Bender engineers achieved this by optimizing wavelength transmissions specifically tailored to the sensitivity of the human eye under low-light conditions.
The Polar is built on a 34mm tube, providing the greatest elevation adjustment range of any Schmidt & Bender scope. Reticle illumination, with 11 settings from night vision to daylight, is standard, as is Schmidt & Bender’s Posicon system, which indicates reticle position and remaining travel within the scope. First or second focal-plane reticle configurations are offered.
For a riflescope of such capability, the 2.5-10×50 Polar T96 is remarkably compact, measuring only
13.2 inches long and weighing 22.9 ounces.

Nightforce
The newest addition to Nightforce’s ShooterHunterVarminter riflescopes, the SHV 3-10×42 is one of the most versatile and certainly the most affordable riflescope Nightforce has ever produced. The SHV line incorporates exceptional quality and performance but at an extremely attractiveprice made possible by limiting options and simplifying the manufacturing process.
The SHV weighs less than 21 ounces and is just under 12 inches long, dimensions that are ideal for a mountain or sporter rifle. It also includes side parallax adjustment from 25 yards to infinity, a fast-focus European-style eyepiece, and 90 MOA of elevation adjustment and 80 MOA of windage adjustment within its 30mm tube.

Nikon
Monarch 5 riflescopes feature Nikon’s legendary Extra-low Dispersion glass lenses, and are the first Nikon riflescopes to feature the new Advanced BDC reticle, which has windage marks on both the left and right side of the post. The scopes also have a five-time-zoom ratio for superior long-range effectiveness. Nikon’s ED Glass lenses reduce chromatic aberration to provide images of superior contrast. The riflescope also has Nikon’s Fully Multicoated Lenses for exceptional brightness and clarity.
The Monarch 5 line is built with a strong one-piece, one-inch main body tube and comes with flip-open eyepiece and objective lens caps that protect your glass when you are not using the scope. The Monarch 5 is also waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, and backed by the company’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Steiner
The T5Xi precision riflescopes are designed for competitive shooting and feature the patented Never-Lost turret with second-rotation indication, which shows each mil of elevation through the indication window on the elevation turret. After the first revolution of 120 clicks, the mil numbers on the scale change automatically, preventing the shooter from getting lost on the dial. In addition, the T5Xi’s new Special Competition Reticle is a clutter-free, precision reticle for extreme long-range shooting.
Steiner’s T5Xi scope line includes three models, each made for a specific shooting situation: compact 1-5x24mm, mid-range 3-15x50mm, and long-range 5-25x56mm.

Swarovski Optik
The X5(i) series of rifle scopes has been developed specifically with the long-range hunter in mind. Their newly designed turrets allow for 20 MOA per revolution, and the X5(i) has ¼ MOA point-of-impact adjustments.
The X5(i) assures maximum accuracy and repeatability via a Spring Retention and Lever System that exerts the same pressure on both turrets from the inversion system, regardless of positioning. There is up to 116 MOA of elevation adjustment inside a 30mm tube that yields a five-times zoom range. The elevation, windage, parallax turrets, and inversion system are madefrom stainless-steel components. The X5(i) also features a new Subzero function that allows you to shoot at closer distances if the zero is set at a farther-than-usual zero.
Illuminated versions will feature fully illuminated reticles and have 10 brightness settings. In both illuminated and non-illuminated versions, second focal-plane long-range reticles will be available in 1 or 2 MOA increments.

Trijicon
The AccuPower series is designed for versatility with variable power offerings of 1-4×24, 2.5-10×56, 3-9×40, and 4-16×50. Integrating aircraft-grade aluminum housing, superior-quality glass lenses, and advanced application-specific illuminated reticles, AccuPower riflescopes are built for durability and dependability.
The AccuPower line features anti-reflective multi-coated lenses that provide clarity and excellent light-gathering. Adjustable reticle brightness settings are easy to set, offering 11 brightness adjustments with an “off” feature between each brightness setting—all powered by a long-lasting CR2032 battery.
The series incorporates a black chrome, etch-and-fill illuminated-reticle system available in red or green. Four reticle choices are available—an intuitive MOA, MIL-square, Duplex crosshair, and competition Segmented Circle crosshair with BDC capabilities. All reticles are located in the second focal plane, meaning the reticle size and appearance remains constant as magnification increases. This provides a more exact aiming point at higher magnifications and is faster to use in low light situations.
