SHOT Show 2025 in Las Vegas last January attracted more than 54,000 people, had 830,000 square feet of exhibit space and featured thousands of product launches. Although time on the show floor was limited, the Shooting Sports USA team did carve out time to check out the newest riflescopes and other optics. Here are the ones that stood out to us.

Built to comply with NRA High Power Rifle rules, the new IXF from Integrix (a.k.a., Leapers) is a 4.5X second-focal-plane riflescope designed in collaboration with Service Rifle champion Nick Till. The elevation adjustment range is 120 MOA. With a 5.7-degree angular field of view (30 feet at 100 yards), Integrix says this optic—sporting a 34 mm maintube—can handle calibers all the way up to .338 Lapua Mag. Look for this one starting in the summer of 2025. MSRP: $999.97, leapers.com

The standard K540i’s elevation turret has 160 clicks per rotation. Three reticle options are available, all in the first focal plane. MSRP: $4,599, kahles.at

Maintube diameter is 30 mm and the windage and elevation adjustment ranges are both 70 MOA. Plus, Winchester WINcoat multicoating on the glass will reduce harsh glare and provides a scratch resistant coating to the exterior lens surfaces.

If you’re looking to speed up your target acquisition in competition, like Steel Challenge or run-and-gun matches, the new Vortex Crossfire Green Dot is worth a look. A two-MOA green dot with multiple brightness settings is easy on the eyes and a solid choice for those sunny days outdoors. With unlimited eye relief and parallax-free design, this optic is a solid choice for an AR-platform rifle, pistol-caliber carbine or other firearms used in competition.
