Vortex Viper HD 2-10

Testing Vortex’s Viper HD 2-10X 42

I have a good broad view of my target’s surroundings when using this scope as opposed to many others where it feels like I’m looking through a paper towel roll.

Primary Arms GLX 2.5-10 – Optimal SPR Optic?

Striking a balance between performance and form, does Primary Arms’ GLX 2.5-10 have the muscle to hold its own on an SPR?

The combination of close-range hog hunting combined with the possibility of longer shots is why Primary Arms’ new SLX 1-10 caught my eye.

InfiRay RH25 Multi-Purpose Thermal Monocular

Being able to fill the role of a scanner, clip-on, and dedicated scope puts the RH25 into a category of its own that very few products can compete with.

Testing the All-New Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18×44 FFP Riflescope

While available in both MOA and MRAD variants, I opted to test the MRAD version of the Strike Eagle 3-18. I think Vortex has another hit on its hands.
