Latest Optic Reviews

Leupold & Stevens can claim credit for a number of the optics industry’s most transformative innovations, and, as a result, the Oregon-based company has had an outsized influence on the state of the contemporary riflescope landscape.

Burris spent years developing the technology behind its Veracity PH riflescope, and now that it’s out for 2023, the innovative Programmable Elevation Knob system promises to make it easier than ever to get on target at distance.

Once priced well beyond the means of the average gun enthusiast, technology has now progressed to the point that highly effective night-vision devices (NVD) no longer need to be prohibitively expensive, as evidenced by the Wraith 4K Mini from Sightmark.

The SIG Sauer Tango6T and Alpha4 mount, a Military-grade LPVO combination used on the M110A1 SDMR, is available to the commercial market and packed with features such as an illuminated reticle with built-in drop compensation, first-focal plane lens arrangement, IPX8 waterproofing and more.

ATN used SHOT Show 2023 as an opportunity to unveil both the fifth generation of its digital-night-vision technology and the first of the company’s new products to put it to use—the day/night-capable X-Sight 5.

Within the realm of optics, few names are as trusted as Trijicon. After all, the company’s U.S.-made products have been field-proven by U.S. armed forces and law-enforcement personnel—along with civilian devotees, who top their trusted firearms with Trijicon-branded units for self-defense, competition and hunting.

Night-vision devices (NVDs) were once priced well beyond the pocketbook of the everyman, which relegated them to military/law enforcement use and the rich person’s playthings, but that is fortunately no longer the case. The Wraith 4K Mini from Sightmark is a prime example.

Leupold's DeltaPoint Micro is a unique take on the slide-mounted red-dot sight, but for the newcomer to the red-dot marketplace, it's a great option for getting started, and it even provides some benefits in the way of learning techniques, too.

Designed from the ground up for Glock’s MOS pistol/optic mounting interface, this solar-charged electronic sight offers a low-profile, reflex-style red-dot contained within a titanium housing.
