Whether you're shopping for a big game hunter, a whitetail devotee, a dedicated waterfowler, or even just a shooting enthusiast, EuroOptic has a ton of great gift ideas for all of the above (and more). Of course, there are a ton of optics, including spotting and rifle scopes, binoculars, and red dot sights. But there's also a huge variety of other hunting and shooting gear, like apparel, guns, and even smartwatches. Below are the best gifts at EuroOptic this year from top brands like Vortex, Mossberg, and Garmin. Psst: Theses all make for great "just because" gifts for yourself, too.
Vortex Crossfire HD 1400 Laser Rangefinder
A good rangefinder is a must-have piece of gear for any hunter. As the name suggests, the Vortex Crossfire HD 1400 can range up to 1,400 yards with three convenient ranging modes and impressive resolution.
Vortex Fury HD 5000 Gen II Laser Rangefinding Binoculars
Rangefinder binoculars are a splurge, but well worth it—and the Vortex Fury 5000 is the best pair you can buy this year, according to our experts. They can range up to 2.8 miles (!!).
Vortex Crossfire II Rifle Scope
The Vortex Crossfire II is one of the most popular rifle scopes of 2024, according to actual data. Made of aircraft-grade aluminum with multicoated lenses, it's designed to withstand the elements, and it's incredibly clear to boot.
Vortex Triumph HD Binoculars
Should a new pair of binos be on their list (or yours!), the Vortex Triumph is a solid choice. Highlights include adjustable eyecups for added comfort, superior clarity and resolution, and fully multi-coated fog- and waterproof lenses.
Mossberg SA-20 Turkey Shotgun
Turkey season will be here soon enough. And for that, they'll appreciate this Mossberg 20-gauge shotgun, which our experts dubbed one of the best turkey shotguns of the year.
Vortex AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight
Of all the red dot sights out there, the Vortex AMG UH-1 Gen II is one of our favorites. The holographic sight has a spacious viewing window, 15 brightness settings, and even a convenient night vision button to instantly access the four night vision modes.
Vortex Diamondback HD Angled Spotting Scope
Vortex's Diamondback line is arguably their most popular optics collection, and the Diamondback angled spotting scope is proof of why. The scope is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, and features the brand's patented Armortek lens coating to keep out dirt and debris.
Tikka T3x Lite Bolt-Action Rifle
Named one of the best modern classic deer hunting rifles by our experts, the Tikka T3x Lite is a solid firearm for any whitetail enthusiast. As indicated by the name, it's lightweight and, even better, consistently accurate.
Vortex Razor HD Rifle Scope
Another solid rifle scope from Vortex, the Razor is ideal for long range shooting—so if you're shopping for someone who hunts out west, this is the one for them. It's incredibly rugged yet lightweight, with a locking elevation turret and illuminated reticle.
Vortex Defender-ST 6 MOA Micro Red Dot Sight
Anyone who owns a handgun will be thrilled to receive the Vortex Defender Micro-ST. This red dot sight has one of the largest viewing windows, making for optimal clarity and resolution. It also boasts a ShockShield insert to help it hold up to impact and recoil, so it'll last for years to come.
Vortex Razor HD Binoculars
In our thorough testing of binoculars for hunting, our experts chose the Vortex Razor UHD as the best for low light conditions. They earned a perfect low-light score, and proved to be reliable in any weather conditions.
Vortex Viper HD Rifle Scope
Yes, we've included yet another Vortex rifle scope on this list and yes, it's just as good as the others. The Viper is as versatile as it is accurate, with crystal clear and sharp imaging and easy-to-use fast focus eyepiece.
CZ-USA Shadow 2 Compact Pistol
Add to their handgun collection with this CZ-USA pistol, which is as good for target shooting as it is for concealed carry thanks to its compact size and fast trigger pull. The contoured body not only makes for a comfortable, ergonomic grip, but it also reduces recoil.
Vortex Radian Carbon Ball Head Tripod Kit
So they have the spotting scope, now they just need a good tripod. The Vortex Radian is just that. The carbon fiber and aluminum tripod can support up to 55 pounds while weighing just over 7 pounds itself.
Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph
When we tested the Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph, we found it very easy (and very fun!) to use. It accurately measures the velocity of almost any projectile—from arrows to bullets to BBs—up to 5,000 fps.
Lacrosse Alphaburly Pro Hunting Boots
You really can't beat the Lacrosse Alphaburly Pro when it comes to hunting boots. The sturdy outsole has enough traction for steady footing on any terrain—no matter how slippery or uneven—while the EVA midsole offers plenty of cushioning and the weatherproof neoprene exterior provides natural insulation.
Pnuma Outdoors Selkirk Jacket
Waterproof, super quiet, and comfortable—all words to describe this top-notch hunting jacket from Pnuma Outdoors. It also has built-in anti-microbial odor control for scent regulation, and venting along the sides to give you plenty of breathability in any weather.
Pnuma Outdoors Selkirk Pant
Pair that Pnuma Outdoors jacket above with these hunting pants to gift your buddy a full kit. Like the jacket, they're waterproof and breathable, with a comfy athletic fit. They're also lined with soft fleece for added warmth.
Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar Smartwatch
Garmin smartwatches are the best of the best. The solar Fenix 7—which meets the U.S. Military standards for water, shock, and thermal resistance—has tons of features for any outdoorsman, from biometric sensors to track important health data to the most accurate navigational systems.
