The LHT 3-12×42 is Discovery Optics’ most affordable crossover scope. This scope has the lightweight, slim profile of a traditional 3-9x hunting scope, with an FFP tactical reticle for precision target shooting. In addition, it features exposed locking turrets and an illuminated reticle.
The LHT’s turrets had some wiggle between each 1/4 MOA click, but the clicks were audible and tactile positive. Its parallax focus can target as close as 7 yards, making it an ideal optic for airgun or rimfire hunters. Its illuminated reticle is twilight bright with highlighted dots at key points.
Optically, it had a good eyebox but was not tack sharp from the center to the outer edge, which showed distortion and softening. Its clarity and brightness dropped off significantly above 10x. The glass also showed some CA at high magnifications. While optically average, the LHT’s features make it a better value than most 3-9x scopes below $150.

The IT Crowd is a British television sitcom originally broadcast by Channel 4 in 2006, created, written, and directed by Graham Linehan and starring Chris O’Dowd, Richard Ayoade, Katherine Parkinson, and Matt Berry. There was a failed attempt to create a US version of the show after the success of The Office which was also originally a British TV comedy, but the pilot of the US IT Crowd just wasn’t as funny.

This company rose to dominate the personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by Windows. But largely missed on emerging trends and technologies such as the Internet, digital music, and smart phones. But it did have one of its successes in becoming a dominant company in gaming with the XBox.
The Mantis Titan X is an innovative dry-fire training system. The Titan X was first introduced at SHOT Show 2025 and this mock pistol fuses digital technology with a practical training tool. The Titan X has the built-in motion sensors of the Mantis X10, molded into a 1:1 scale and weight mock-up of a Glock 19 pistol with a realistic trigger.
With each trigger pull, a laser is activated, indicating where a bullet would have impacted on a target. In addition, the Titan X comes with two realistically weighted mock magazines that can be ejected to simulate reloads. Users can pair the Mantis Titan X with the Mantis Pistol/Rifle app and 3rd party laser targeting Apps like Laser Academy.
The user can quickly diagnose and learn from bad trigger habits like slapping, pulling or pushing the trigger, as well as anticipating recoil. Unlike traditional dry-firing, the user does not have to rack and reset their trigger. The Titan X trigger automatically resets, so rapid fire can be simulated. Best of all, this can all be done safely indoors or at home because no real ammo is used. Moreover, you don’t have to pay for ammo, so the Titan X quickly pays for itself.
The Toric UHD 8×32 are the smallest and most compact model in Tract’s high-performance Toric line of binoculars. The Toric feature SCHOTT HT glass, which offer their highest levels of light transference, as well as reduced chromatic aberration. This is the same glass used in premium Zeiss scopes.
The Torics are designed and built in Japan to high standards. Not surprising as Tract’s founders were formerly at Nikon before that brand’s exit from the US sporting optics market. The Toric features ruborized armor around a relatively lightweight magnesium chassis.

These are items I’ve reviewed for my YouTube channel, so they’re practically brand new. I’m selling them for 50% off retail.
Local pickup at the CPRPC range, Diamond Heights, or Andronico’s in the Inner Sunset. Shipping via can be arranged at cost (ex. 1 scope will cost approximately $15 to ship).
Aguila Super Extra High Velocity and CCI Mini-Mags are my go-to 22LR for my pistols and semi-auto rifles. Super Extra HV is usually cheaper but CCI runs more reliably on more of my pistols. Both are 40grn CPRN bullets with only a 20fps difference in their velocities. While Super-Extra HV claims faster speed, Mini-Mags shoot with more pronounced pop.
Testing both in my factory Ruger Precision Rimfire Rifle (RPR), Aguila edged CCI by a significant margin (2x) in the data. CCI did experience more random fliers than Aguila, causing worse scores. But looking at the groups, the differences between the rounds appeared subjectively closer.

Athlon Midas G2 UHD 10×25 are Athlon’s smallest and lightest folding travel binoculars. But unlike other compact folding bino’s this has a decent eyebox and exit pupil which doesn’t look like you’re looking through a straw. And it features a decent sized 25mm objectives for good light gathering from its UHD glass.
It has a magnesium tube and frame which is light weight. Save for some plastic panels along the bridge, it is almost entirely metal. It comes with a nice padded case and neck strap but for maximum portability, it can fold compact enough that can fit into a shirt or pants pocket. This is practically an EDC kind bino that can be an excellent backup optic but with enough performance that it can substitute for a larger bino in a pinch.
