Review by Kinetic Security Solutions: 

As competitive shooters, we often hear the question of which optic is best. While there are many components of an optic that contribute to the overall quality and its ability to perform, this review only focuses on optical clarity/resolution. The definition of clarity and resolution for the purpose of this review is the ability to resolve the most amount of detail possible on your intended target. This can mean the difference between knowing you hit the target somewhere, or your ability to identify exactly where your rounds are hitting. Was that dark spot your impact, someone else's, or are you able to see multiple impacts within a single location on a target.

This review focuses on some of the newest and most common optics being used in PRS/NRL. All optics used in this review were loaned or personally owned.

Zero Stop - What does it all mean?

We've put together a short, easy-to-understand blog entry to leave you with an understanding of what Zero Stop is and what it does.

...

• What Is Zero Stop?

When a shooter Zero's their Rifle Scope at any given distance, the user will reset their turrets so their turret is on 0 clicks at their zeroed distance. Zero Stop is a function on a Rifle Scope turret that allows the user to set a stop at their pre-set zeroed distance to ensure they cannot go below this length. Some Optics do have Zero Stops that allow the turret to go a few clicks under their pre-set zero but in 90% of cases, Zero Stop will stop the turret dead when installed. 

• Benefits of Zero Stop?
