#HCR

Apex Optics introduced their latest innovation at SHOT 2024 with the Edge 1-10×24 riflescope, featuring the new and unique HCR reticle which adapts to varying magnifications. Designed with versatility in mind, the HCR reticle functions as a multi-part red dot at lower magnification (1-5x), ideal for close-range targets. When adjusting from 6x to the maximum 10x magnification, the reticle transforms into a modified Christmas tree style, catering to long-distance shooting preferences.

I recently had the pleasure of testing out Howa’s new HCR, or Howa Chassis Rifle. The Howa HCR is built using a Howa 1500 Heavy Barreled action and an Accurate Mag aluminum rifle chassis. For testing I received a model chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Testing the Howa Chassis Rifle consisted of several hours of dry fire and familiarization, as well as 8 hours on the range.
