“reticles”

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.

Primary Arms Optics has released its first 1X-10X scope, the SLx 1-10x28mm SFP Rifle Scope, which comes with a choice of two ACSS reticles.

There are many hunting scenarios in which illuminated reticles are a true game-changer. Here are several reasons why your next riflescope purchase should include one.

Leupold introduces five new optics to its VX-Freedom line of riflescopes, including models with illuminated reticles, 30mm maintubes and more.

Leupold & Stevens, Inc. has announced the addition of two new models that will feature MOA adjustments and reticles to its popular Mark 5HD riflescope line.

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.

Riflescopes with parallax adjustments, illuminated reticles, 8X zoom ranges and turrets dialing past 1,500 yards are impressive, but do we really need that to still-hunt whitetails in Ohio farmland or chase elk at 8,000 feet in Idaho? An optic like Leupold’s new VX-3i 3.5X-10X-40mm with the Boone & Crockett ballistic reticle is likely better suited for most hunters’ needs. This 12.6-ounce scope, a reengineered upgrade from the previous VX-3, is bright, sharp, slim and extremely reliable.

Leupold's new VX-Freedom riflescope line provides many of the same benefits as its more expensive scopes for substantially less money. Available in 14 variable-power models with four magnification ranges, five objective diameters and six reticles, all VX-Freedom scopes have 1-inch maintubes, which keeps size and weight reasonable.

New riflescopes are designed to be entry-level, offering high quality at a low price point.
