Crimson Trace Hardline 4-12x40 Riflescope - Mil-Dot Reticle

You could view the Crimson Trace Hardline 4-12x40mm MILDOT in matte black as the entry point to extreme long range precision shooting, or you could view it as a very well priced intermediate option for hunting or competition use. Either specific use case would fit perfectly in the sweet spot for this good-looking, hard-wearing, easy to use, and minimalist glass-based optic from Crimson Trace. The extremely versatile mil-dot reticle is non-illuminated, however is quite usable in any different scenario you might be shooting a 14.1 inch long glass optic on a rifle for. Given the 14.1 inch overall length, the 2.3 inch width, and the 2.2 inch height of this optic and its moderate weight of 15.52 oz this is still quite a manageable piece considering it has up to 12 x magnification. Additionally, the way it's built at the factory proves it has a home on some of the hardest use rifles in the world. The non-illuminated reticle features the MILDOT etching with a second focal plane and there is a 1/4 minute of angle click value on the capped turrets which provide 65 MOA windage adjustment, and 65 MOA elevation adjustment. The field of view at 4x magnification is 23.6 ft and the field of view at 12x magnification 7.9 ft.
