Burris Optics has announced the launch of a new suite of online ballistic tools that are designed to help hunters and shooters maximize the potential of their Burris-brand optics. Available for free, the software will allow consumers to evaluate and master any Burris reticle, build a dope card, program an Eliminator LaserScope and order custom elevation and windage knobs.

Leupold has expanded the reticle options in its Mark 6 and Mark 8 lines of riflescopes.

Carl Zeiss Sport Optics has announced its latest Outdoor Family Days Promotion. From April 1 through May 31, 2016, Zeiss is offering savings on some of its most popular products.

Looking for new glass? 2016's batch of new hunting optics is pretty impressive. Here are some of the top new wares.

The Swarovski X5(i) has the best dial-up system of any long-range scope Bryce Towsley has used, and without a doubt it’s the easiest one to learn. Of course, the optics are brilliant; after all it’s a Swarovski.

Zeiss' Terra XB75 Crossbow Scope is our 2016 Optic of the Year.

Bushnell's optics are getting a facelift. Some of them, anyway. While at the NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits, the company announced that its Trophy line of optics would be undergoing a re-engineering. In addition, it's being joined by the new Trophy Xtreme line.

Steiner has announced that its P4Xi 1-4x24mm riflescope—previously available only to law enforcement personnel—will now be offered to the general public.

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.
