TruGlo Intercept BTX

The Intercept BTX from TruGlo is an economical new riflescope choice for sportsmen located in those jurisdictions that require the use of straight-wall cartridges while rifle hunting.

Short for Ballistic Turret Xchange, the 3-9X 40 mm BTX scope ships with a standard m.o.a.-based elevation turret installed (with clicks valued at 1/4-m.o.a.), however, also included are 350 Legend- and .450 Bushmaster-specific replacement turrets—tuned to 160-grain and 260-grain projectiles, respectively.

If using a rifle chambered for either of these popular cartridges, installing the corresponding turret allows the hunter to simply dial to the distance of his or her target (with ranges marked between 100 and 300 yards), taking elevation adjustment completely out of the equation.

MSRP is $169. For more information, visit truglo.com.
