“reticles”

Here’s a rundown of the basic optics terms that every hunter should know.

Leupold introduces its new VX-3HD line of riflescopes. Aimed squarely at the hunting market, the VX-3HD promises outstanding low-light performance in a lightweight package.

Primary Arms Optics has announced the release of a new reticle configuration for the GLx 2.5X-10X-44mm FFP Rifle Scope.

The Optika5 Rimfire is a well-made riflescope that is reasonably priced, given its optical quality, making it ideal for a rimfire squirrel or small-game rifle.

Today there are four basic types of red dot sights, including contained reflex sights, mini reflex sights, prismatic and holographic red dot sights. Here are five—at least one of each style—that make precise aiming of your rifle, shotgun or handgun faster, easier and more accurate in most lighting conditions.

You don’t need to spend a fortune to own a decent optic that won’t break, fog or fall out of zero at just the wrong moment. Here are five excellent riflescopes you can get for under $200.

Trijicon has announced the expansion of its AccuPoint riflescope series, with the addition of several more hunting reticles to the 3X-18X-50mm and 4X-24X-50mm models.

Combining 640x480 microbolometer strength with 12-micron pixel detail, the new Thermion XG50 delivers 2,400-yard thermal detection range in stunning clarity on a 1024x768 AMOLED display.

In a push to “go long,” it’s easy to add too much complexity to the hunt with the use of laser rangefinders, anemometers, spinning turrets and Christmas tree reticles. But you don’t have to touch your scope to shoot game out to 300 yards. Zero your rifle for its maximum point-blank range and never fuss with a turret again.
