Hot new riflescopes featured at SHOT Show 2024 in Las Vegas:
Burris Eliminator 6 riflescope With five generations of the popular Eliminator rangefinding riflescope under its belt, Burris takes a big leap with the redesigned Eliminator 6, an all-in-one scope that has the most advanced ranging, environmental monitoring, optical performance and ballistics technology in a single, unified platform. Features:
Ranging : Instant and precise ranging out to 2,000-plus yards on reflective targets and 1,400 yards on deer hide. Simply place the reticle on the target, depress the ranging button, and the distance in yards or meters is presented on the scope's heads-up display (HUD).
Environmental Monitoring : Built-in thermometer, barometer and inclinometer from which the scope selects the ballistics solution via the Burris Connect app.

Ballistic Compensation : The Eliminator 6 ballistic solutions are built on the BurrisConnect mobile app and uploaded to the scope. Bluetooth connectivity between the scope and the user's mobile device allows the user to create an internal DOPE card in the Eliminator 6 that combines ranging, environmental, and ballistic data to achieve the perfect shot. Users can create profiles using factory load data or completely custom covering firearms from muzzleloaders and slug guns to precision rifles.
Precise Aiming Solutions : The digital DOPE card works with the scope's illuminated X177 reticle to display the precise holdover aiming point for the ranged distance. Combined with the reticle's windage hold-off points, the Eliminator 6 offers a massive 177 aim points with 1/5 MOA precision to ensure reliable point-of-aim/point-of-impact performance.
Comprehensive User Interface : The Eliminator 6 presents up to 10 data points in the HUD. This information is divided into zones that can be turned on or off to the shooter's preference via the Burris Connect app. The ranged distance and wind hold value can also be swapped per the user’s preference.

ShotCall Marker – Available for display in the HUD is bullet velocity and bullet energy at the ranged distance. Embodying the "Hunt Responsibly" ethic, these features allow the shooter to recognize when the shot distance may be too far and the velocity/energy too low to ensure an ethical kill. In addition to showing the bullet's calculated velocity and energy at the ranged distance, the scope also offers a ShotCall Marker. The SCM will display an "X" if the user defined ballistic terminal performance is inadequate at the ranged distance.
Vortex Venom 1-6x24 SFP riflescope Vortex has new additions to the popular Venom riflescope line, with the Venom 1-6x24 SFP and Venom 3-15x44 FFP . Both deliver versatile, feature-rich options for entry-level carbine users, recreational shooters and even self-defense. Venom 1 has true 1x-6x magnification and an illuminated AR-BDC3 reticle for fast, accurate target acquisition at short- to mid-range. Venom 3 delivers great glass quality, impressive magnification, an EBR-7C reticle, available in MOA or MRAD, for fast, precise corrections at distance, plus throw-lever zoom control and wide field of view for rapidly engaging targets up close.
Burris Veracity PH riflescopes Burris grows the technologically advanced Veracity PH riflescope series in 2024 with three new models boasting a shorter and lighter design, expanded power factor offerings, two new reticle designs and an improved optical system ED glass. Developed to meet the needs of shooters and hunters who frequently tap the long shots and where a day’s hunt is often measured in miles traveled, Burris engineers upgraded the Veracity PH to reduce weight and size. The revised 4-20x50mm Veracity PH is now shorter and lighter than the previous model. This shorter and lighter design also translates to the new 3-15x44mm and 2.5-12x42mm models—making them ideal for mountain rifle and carbine platforms, or any rifle where minimizing weight and bulk are important factors.
The improved extra-low dispersion (ED) glass reduces chromatic aberrations and enhances light transmission for clear and crisp edge-to-edge viewing and exceptional low-light performance. The Veracity PH riflescopes are the perfect choice for hunters who want a fast, simple means to compensate for bullet drop without monitoring turret clicks, identifying holdover points, or doing mathematical calculations when the pressure is on and seconds count.
Leupold Mark 4HD riflescope The Mark 4HD series features a 4:1 zoom ratio and five magnification ranges, giving shooter accurate and reliable options. The five magnification ranges available include: 1-4.5x24, 2.5-10x42, 4.5-18x52, 6-24x52, and 8-32x56. The 1-4.5x24 and 2.5-10x42 models feature 30mm maintubes.

Steiner H6Xi Series riflescopes H6Xi riflescopes, tailored for big-game hunters, are now being made with a new MIL reticle for enhanced precision. The new STR-MIL reticle was developed by Steiner as a MIL-based tree reticle that bridges the gap between Steiner’s military heritage (such as M-Series and T-Series scopes) and classic hunting scopes. The precise tree reticle, with 0.2 mrad subtensions, gives the shooter the ability to dial or holdover with near-equal precision for both drop and wind holdoff. In practice, using the tree reticle hold is quicker than dialing and can be especially helpful for shooters who prefer to leave their elevation turret fully capped—another feature included with every H6Xi. The Steiner H6Xi is crafted for hunters seeking an optic that promises impeccable precision, adaptability and optical performance, all while thriving in challenging hunting terrains. Consisting of three models, the H6Xi series caters to a variety of needs. The first focal plane 6x optical system is available in zoom ranges of 2-12x42mm , 3-18x50mm , and 5-30x50mm , setting unparalleled standards for German-inspired, American-crafted hunting scopes.
