Quality optics offer unparalleled performance to enhance your hunting experience, whether that means concealing game or dialing in longer shots. Their fundamental capabilities such as taking ethical shots with precision aiming and adapting gear for conditions are unsurpassed – leading to enhanced confidence through magnified aiming ability and furthering hunter experiences.

Optics with large objective lenses capture more light to provide clearer sight pictures and improve game and environment visualization, while fully multi-coated lenses reduce glare to provide high resolution images.

Precision

Optics can make all the difference when it comes to hunting. With quality glass optics and various reticle options tailored specifically to your hunting conditions, investing more money can yield increased light transmission and improved sight pictures – adding hours of entertainment.

Your choice of scopes can boost your performance in many shooting situations. Large objective lenses admit more light in dim conditions while multicoated lenses improve clarity.

Since the advent of long-range precision rifles, scope manufacturers have produced large 5-25×56 models with first-plane reticles and massive turrets to meet this demand. However, Trijicon’s Tenmile HX stands out with its slim, light mounting design ideal for walkabout guns as well as its fast and intuitive first-plane “Precision Tree” reticle that conforms with MOA references.

Versatility

Scopes provide magnification needed for precise long-range shots, while sights offer simplicity and speed that make them suitable for close-range rifle scenarios. Our team of experts is on hand to assist in selecting which optic will best meet your individual requirements.

People looking to upgrade from basic duplex reticle will likely prefer a first-plane reticle that offers elevation (holdover) and windage (holdoff) marks that remain consistent at every magnification setting, like Athlon’s Tenmile HX reticle at an affordable price.

Leupold offers cross-over scopes such as their VX-Freedom that can act like precision target scopes for both varmint shooters and deer hunters alike, featuring MOA reticle references, rock solid dial turrets with zero stop features, MOA reticle references, MOA reticle references, MOA reticle references and rock-solid dial turrets with zero stops for optimal targeting performance.

Visualization

When it comes to brightness in scopes, bigger doesn’t always equate to better. A wide objective “window” helps, but light also has to travel through various lenses and antireflective coatings before reaching your eyepiece.

Sharp images appear brighter at any magnification level; thus maximizing light transmission requires riflescopes with high resolution and strong anti-reflective coatings for optimal light transmission.

Hunters require versatile scopes with holdover and holdoff marks, and that don’t weigh them down. Bushnell’s R3 offers good second-plane reticle references with liberal mounting dimensions at an attractive price. Furthermore, there’s also an affordable waterproof/fog proof version to suit hunting in adverse conditions.

Comfort

Many hunters require scopes that can withstand different shooting environments. If hunting in areas with high humidity or rain is part of your hunting mission, look for waterproof and fog proof scopes as these will perform better.

A high-quality riflescope allows you to adjust its eye relief depending on the method you plan on employing in hunting. If stalking or standing, a low eye relief allows your eyes to remain focused on their target more easily; but for prone hunting or driving activities, higher eye relief settings should be utilized so as to avoid recoil injuries.

Finally, decide between a first focal plane or second focal plane reticle. A first focal plane reticle changes size depending on magnification; on the other hand, a second focal plane reticle remains constant regardless of magnification.

Confidence

Long-range guided hunting requires every advantage possible. That is why it is vitally important that when it comes to selecting optics for use out in the field, your chosen models should meet both your specific requirements and be able to withstand weather changes without breaking.

A quality hunting scope should feature an objective lens designed to collect light. The larger its aperture is, the brighter your scope will be. Unfortunately, larger lenses also add bulk and weight that could hinder how easily you move in the field.

Optics that are multi-coated will allow you to enjoy crisp and clear images even in low light conditions. Raw glass reflects approximately four percent of light that hits it; coatings on lenses can reduce this reflection rate as much as two percent. Also take into consideration eye relief (ER); the more of your reticle can be seen through it at arm’s length, the better the scope will work for you.
