Scopes

The Sako S20 was definitely cheated when it hit the market in 2020; Covid19 stole the media spotlight and was also responsible for the cancellation of the SHOT Show and the Annual NRA Show, the two largest firearms manufacturer events of the year. The S20 has a right to feel slighted, but the US consumers were also cheated by not getting the exposure they deserved to the new Sako offering. So, let’s take a fresh look at the S20’s features, options, and performance.

In my never-ending search for the perfect optic to pair with a lightweight, long-range hunting rifle, Vortex Optics’ Razor HD LHT piqued my interest with its impressive feature set to weight ratio.

Meopta is breaking into the mid-tier scope market with their new MeoSport R 1-15×50. While lesser known than some of the other European scope manufacturers, Meopta has been making high-end optics for nearly a century, and with an MSRP of $450, this is one of the most economical ways to get some European glass on your rifle.

For many of you reading this and just jumping into the world of thermal optics, do not fret, it is not as complicated as some may suggest. While Thermal scopes are not cheap, they are an absolute game-changer in the world of night hunting. 5 years ago, I would have never believed how powerful of a tool thermal would become in my hunting game.

Around three years ago EOTech started offering scopes in addition to their world-renowned holographic sights. Having taken a huge share of the red dot market, they took their shot at becoming a new big player in the magnified optic market by releasing their Vudu lineup of scopes.

Thermal optics have been gaining popularity amongst hunters and outdoor enthusiasts over the last decade. Advancements in thermal imaging technology have brought the costs down to a more affordable level.

Houston-based optics company Primary Arms already announced pre-order sales of their new 1x MicroPrism scope, but we got a chance to check out another model that hasn’t yet been posted online.
