    Hogster VIBE 1.4-5.6x25mm

    Detects a hog at 150 yd21° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

    The Bering Hogster VIBE 1.4-5.6x25mm ranks #8 of 53 384-class scopes on image: class-typical image at a class-typical price — image scores bunch tight in this class, so what separates scopes is features and price, not sensor (image 64, class median 62; $1,775 against $1,995). It's the cheapest of the 3 scopes built on this InfiRay core. At 16.4 oz it's 11 oz lighter than the class-typical scope, and the 4-year warranty follows the scope through a resale.

    Pros
    • Best-value corner of its class
    • Light for its class · 16.4 oz
    Cons
    • 35 mK — noisier in low light
    • Short ~4 h battery

    The going rate

    Priced $389 over the going rate for its build.

    Every dot is the street price of a scope built like this one — same sensor class, a similar lens, no rangefinder. The part of the price above the rate is buying body, screen, and name — not the spec.
