At the Black Hound Optics booth I got a chance to take an early look at their new Emerge and Evolve line of scopes which aren’t scheduled to be released until later this year. To be honest, I’d never heard of Black Hound until I saw a Cyclops Joe video review of one of their Genesis about 2 years ago and I hadn’t actually seen one until my visit at Shot Show.
These new scopes differ in design to their earlier Genesis (which looked similar to Athlon Argos or Chinese knock-off-Zeiss scopes) with turrets that are reminiscent of Vortex’s higher tier scopes. The Emerge’s turret cap has a similar pop-up rotation indicator to the Leupold Mark5HD but at far less than the Leupold’s price. Black Hound’s construction and materials appeared top shelf. I hope to get my hands on one to test out.
