Built on the Browning’s X-Bolt action, the Max Long Range comes ready for long range.

Bushnell has been all over the map in recent years, in terms of levels of products. They have spent a lot of time solidifying their place at the table on high-end products, like the XRS and HDMR, both contenders in military circles. Then they will turn around and introduce sub $200 scopes, such as the Engage series. It can get a bit, well, confusing. So I am very happy with what seems to be a recent change to the product lines.

Colt’s Manufacturing is following up on their recently redesigned and relaunched King Cobra with the new Carry model.
