Optics/Sights

The answer to, “What is the best budget long-range rifle scope?” is definitely up for debate, along with other related topics. Because of this, let’s discuss why I think Vortex’s Strike Eagle 5-25×56 is the clear winner of its division.

The MRO as of right now is the best deal I’ve seen in red dots. Familiar performance, Trijicon quality, and a price that is unbeatable. Not to mention, the MRO is 100% American made.

The Viridian XTL with Cam is a 500-lumen waterproof weapon light with a high definition camera built into the unit (has audio). I tested it at a 2 gun night match and the results are as follows.

Vision problems have plagued shooters ever since sights were invented. But with the techniques discussed in this article, a shooter with vision problems can still shoot well.

I promise you this; the Primary Arms SLx MD-25 has earned a place in my arsenal. They aren’t getting this one back.

If you are in need of a hell and back sight, the Leupold Freedom RDS is going to be hard to beat.

It wasn’t until the 1920s that telescopic instruments used as aiming devices began to be widely accepted in the United States, but since then scopes have become the primary means of aiming rifles. In fact, they have become so popular and there are so many choices, it is difficult to decide which to buy.

After testing one of these new riflescopes, which are built with the rugged durability you would expect from a company that has spent decades developing optics for the U.S. armed forces, I believe Trijicon has hit the sweet spot in balancing quality and price.

Whether you are at the range or afield, all of the components of your firearm must work together properly in order to precisely engage a target. Downrange precision begins with rifle selection, extending into optic selection, and mounting hardware.
