Trijicon Accupoint crosshair
Trijicon is a company that listens. Yes, many hunters swear by the company's illuminated post-style triangle reticles, but just as many cast a wary eye at anything that doesn't have crosshairs. So Trijicon paid attention, and this year has added to its popular illuminated riflescope line with three new Accupoint crosshair models (standard, Mil-Dot, and German #4). Fiber optics automatically adjust the brightness level and contrast of the aiming point to available light conditions. In low light conditions, a tritium-phosphor lamp takes over the job. These are sleek, smartly built matte scopes made of aircraft-grade aluminum and top-quality glass. $700 for the 1.25-4x24, $750 for the 3-9x40, $950 for the 2.5-10x56.

Riflescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders: when you're shopping for optics, there is so much variety as to boggle the mind. Prices range from reasonable to ridiculous, but when it comes down to it, you get what you pay for, with some exceptions. Here are 10 items that blew me away at the show. Konus M30 scope Trijicon crosshair Bushnell Elite 6500 scope Zeiss rangefinding scope Nitrex binoculars Brunton Echo scope Nikon Monarch scope Nikon rangefinder Minox binoculars Minox DEC |
