Top New Riflescopes for 2016

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

Zeiss Announces Outdoor Family Days Promotion

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.

Leupold Expands Reticle Options

The folks at Leupold have always prided themselves on helping hunters get afield earlier and longer than ever, and for 2016 they're finally putting a name to the technology that makes their optics so darn handy in low-light situations.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Leupold

In the century or so since its founding—not as an optics company, mind you, but we'll get to that in a minute—Leupold & Stevens, often referred to simply as Leupold, has provided riflescopes to hunters, shooters and the entirety of the United States military. There's no real shortage of things to say about Leupold's long history. That said, we've dug up 10 (possibly) little-known facts about the Beaverton, Ore., staple.

Hardware: Nikon Monarch 5 ED

Among all the world’s riflescope manufacturers, Nikon has arguably done the best job of making it easy to buy the right scope for specific shooting jobs.

Hardware: Trijicon AccuPower

How much treestand or elk mountain cred is Trijicon due given how well its rock-hard battle-rifle sights have served U.S. troops at war? That was the obvious question when the company diversified into all-purpose riflescopes a few years back, and it remains a key issue with the recent introduction of the AccuPower, a four-scope collection largely geared toward big-game hunters.

Hardware: Bushnell Elite 3500

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.
