Crimson Trace takes a big step from laser sights and lights to offer a full line of riflescopes in 2019. The line includes multiple Sport and Tactical models in three series, ranging in magnification and objective size from the 2-Series 1X-4X-24mm CTA-2104 to the 5-Series 3X-24X-56mm CTL-5324. All have fully-multi-coated Japanese ED glass, an illuminated reticle, and waterproof, fog-proof and shock-proof construction. They are built on single-piece, Type 3 hard-anodized, 6061-T6 aluminum tubes. Six models have 34mm tubes, while five have 30mm tubes. The 3X-9X-40mm CSA-2309 is one of the latter, and it offers hunters a host of features such as zero-resettable turrets, 11 illumination settings and a first-focal-plane MOA-based holdover reticle at an attractive price. Like all Crimson Trace scopes, it is backed by a full lifetime warranty and is covered under the company’s “Free Batteries for Life” program. The CSA-2309 is less than 11 inches long and weighs less than 20 ounces. Learn more about it in the video embedded above. MSRP: $499; crimsontrace.com.

Rethinking Ragù: Venison Ragù Bianco

In Italy, ragù simply refers to a slow-cooked meat sauce. Bolognese—ragù alla Bolognese—is just one regional variation that originated in Bologna and traditionally incorporates tomatoes, wine, milk, and finely minced meat simmered low and slow until deeply rich and complex. But some of the most beautiful ragù dishes in Italy contain little or no tomato at all. This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
