In the end, depending on the person, both are best. Because of only offering MRAD options, Leupold has been missing out on sales from the MOA side of the market despite having high quality, bombproof equipment to offer. This ends at of the release of the new Mark 5HD riflescope in MOA. Yes, Leupold is introducing MOA into the Mark 5HD line which more than likely foreshadows some products to come.

A compact and lightweight binocular, the Droptine 10x42mm fit into a hunting pack and on a shooting range table. At 20.1 ounces, they’re light enough for long-term glassing.

I didn’t think I needed anything new from Aimpoint. My old stuff still works perfectly. But then I met the Comp M5 and suddenly it was time for an upgrade.

Gear Review: Burris 3-12x32mm Handgun Scope

On a recent South Texas hunt with the Nosler M48 Handgun, the Burris 3-12 let me see well enough to shoot right up to dark and then several minutes beyond. It took some good bouncing around, in hunting blinds and vehicles, and held zero.
