Optics/Sights

That healthy field of view, combined with the optic’s durability, crisp reticle, and ease of use, should make the AEMS a strong contender for your next rifle optic.

Proper scope installation isn’t difficult, but it helps to have a few special tools, and it often takes a little patience.

SIG Sauer’s new duty pistol optic, the ROMEO2 can be installed as an open-emitter, steel armored open emitter or a fully-sealed closed-emitter red-dot sight. It can endure the slide recoil velocities of a 10mm and offers water resistance and protection from environmental debris. It is a uniquely rugged sight with modular user-convertible configurations.

If you’re in the market for a quality scope for your newly acquired AR-15 that doesn’t break the bank then your search is over.

I cut my teeth with an ACOG on an M16A4 and have always appreciated the simplicity and design of a good prism optic. As such, when Vortex released the latest Spitfire HD Gen 2 models, my ears perked up. Emails were sent, and Vortex happily sent me a Spitfire HD Gen 2 5X optic.

In our test it tracked a box test and returned to zero, and its low light view let our writer take a 10 point whitetail in the last minutes of legal light.

Customers were sold a bucket of lies, that they needed small dots for “precision”. Today I am going to explain to you why small dots suck and you don’t need them for “precision”. I am also going to explain why the Aimpoint H2 with 6MOA dot is the new king of rifle dot sights.
