    Hogster ZAP 2.8-11.2x35mm

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

    The Bering Hogster ZAP 2.8-11.2x35mm ranks #8 of 53 384-class scopes on image: above-the-middle image at or under the typical price — the value corner of the class (image 64, class median 62; $1,375 against $1,995).
