    Super Hogster A3 2.9-11.6x35mm

    Recognizes a hog at 150 yd22° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

    The Bering Super Hogster A3 2.9-11.6x35mm ranks #27 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 62, class median 62; $2,175 against $1,995). The same InfiRay core sits in the Bering Hogster ZAP 2.8-11.2x35mm at $1,375. At 17.1 oz it's 10 oz lighter than the class-typical scope, and the 4-year warranty follows the scope through a resale.

    Pros
    • Light for its class · 17.1 oz
    Cons
    • 40 mK — noisier in low light
    • Narrow 7.5° field of view
    • Short ~3.5 h battery

    The going rate

    Priced $380 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.
