The latest tech driving hunting-scope development has given us unprecedented versatility, catlike night-vision, built-in ballistic solutions and, would you believe … plastic lenses?

The Engage line of riflescopes represents Bushnell’s latest evolution in optical sights. How does it stack up? Richard Mann took a closer look.

Zeiss is offering a free Terra ED binocular with purchase of select optics through Dec. 31.

Finding an ideal mix of magnification, size, optical brilliance and related features is an equation maybe more complex to solve than determining the ideal general purpose hunting cartridge. Nevertheless, Swarovski might have done it with its Z8i 1X-8X-24mm.

While BSA’s Contender series may not wow us with optical brilliance, they provide reliable shot placement and endurance at a great price.

The German-designed but American-made Minox ZA3 is powerful, rugged and affordable.

The Czech Republic may not have the market cachet that's been established by brands from Germany and Austria, but that doesn't mean the quality isn't there. Keith Wood takes a closer look at the Meopta MeoStar R2 1X-6X-24mm RD.

All in all, a pragmatic hunter should find the Elite 3500 more than good enough to “ride the river with.” At typical street prices, and with Bushnell’s limited lifetime warranty and one-year money-back guarantee, the Elite 3500 could be considered a best buy, too.
