It’s extremely rare for us to choose a scope as one of our Best of 2024 before we’ve released a full review. But with a few months of field use under our belts with the RIX Storm S6, we felt no choice but to chose it as our favorite scope under $3,000 for 2024. At just $2,699 this small compact 2x magnification 640 scope is one heck of a great value for the close to mid range hunter. On this review we dig into the specs, the real world use and who it’s good for. Check it out now!

As we move into the higher price scope categories of our Best of 2024 series, the field of optics is greatly reduced. What isn’t reduced is the quality of the optics on the list. This week as Hans and Jason pick winners in the $5,000 and $6,000 price range, the competition is extremely strong! Some of the most popular scopes of the year are in this class so listen in to see who the winners are!

This week on the podcast Hans and Jason bring you their top picks for the "Best Thermal Rifle Scopes Under $4,000 for 2024". With over 10 excellent thermal scopes in this category, the competition is extremely tough.
