Crimson Trace Brushline Pro 2.5-10x42 Riflescope - Plex Reticle

One of the first things you notice when you see the Brushline Pro 2.5–10x42mm Plex reticle scope in matte black from the Crimson Trace glass optic lineup is that it is sufficiently minimalist, while still being overtly-tactical-looking, and yet its design is a thing of beauty. The simple but striking aesthetics are obviously an important point for some shooters. But Crimson Trace sets itself apart from other glass-based optics manufacturers by producing a scope that can withstand incredibly difficult testing standards, built from the ground up by Crimson Trace like it's glass optics line up. From a public perspective, few other glass optic manufacturers are willing to put out into the public arena the specific standards by which they hold their glass optics to. Crimson Trace has made it a point to take a hard-line approach when it comes to hardcore use and has built a regiment of testing which is quite impressive. To go along with the testing, Crimson Trace has developed a lifetime protection guarantee that should keep you in a relatively value-oriented price range optic for a very long time considering the apparent build quality of the scopes. This is a 2.5x to 10x magnification glass optic, features a 1 inch tube diameter and a 42mm objective lens, which allows it to fit on pretty much any rifle in existence. It has a relatively compact footprint and features a second focal plane Plex-style reticle for very simple target acquisition.

Features:

• Unbelievably rigorous testing regimen
• Gorgeous aesthetics
• 2.5x-10x magnification
• 42mm objective lens with proprietary green multi-coating
• Significant specifications for price point relative to peers
• Lifetime warranty 

There is a 3.8 to 4.0 inch eye relief and the quarter minute of angle click adjustment caps out at 90 MOA for windage and elevation in totality on each axis. At 2.5x the field of view is 40.3 ft and at 10x the field of view is 10.1 ft. The lens coating features a green tint and the overall aesthetic is quite tactical and very clean. If you're not impressed just by the aesthetics, or the well above average specifications for the price point, perhaps the rigorous testing will sway you. This testing includes environmental extremes, vibration, drop, corrosion, zero retention, submersion and immersion certifications and a bevy of other tests. Crimson Trace has built a lineup of competent glass-based optics that at least require a cursory overview to determine if they fit your needs.
