Buying Guide

Now, we tend to give you long-winded reviews about what to consider when shopping for a scope, without fully establishing what NOT to look for in a scope.

Cheap Glass

Honestly, and we say this from past experience, steer clear of cheap glass type, advertised as great budget scopes that give you great value. It is really simple: You cannot compromise on glass clarity.

This kind of glass is usually found in high magnification scopes and goes on to produce hazy or warped images that get worse as the magnification increases.

Buying Complex Scopes

Contrary to popular opinion, buying a complex scope does not make you a cooler, misunderstood nerd, it simply makes the work more….complex.

Buying Too-Simple Scopes

The fact that you are advised to buy simpler scopes does not mean you should go for overly simplistic scopes either.

Not Bothering With Accessories

The goal should be to get as much value for your money as possible. Consider going for scopes that come with mounts, rails, scope rings, bases, flip up caps and lens covers. These should not be regarded as afterthoughts.

Buying Scopes With Oversized Lens

The idea that the larger your objective lens, the better your clarity, is a myth.

Wrong Reticle

The vast majority of hunting happens at ranges of 500 yards or less.  At 100-300 yards, most hunting caliber rifles are unaffected by temperature as they shoot a fast trajectory. Therefore, we recommend a duplex reticle.

Buying The Wrong Scope

Before you swipe that credit card, determine why you are buying the scope in the first place. This little trick will go a long way in helping you settle on the best decision.

Final Thoughts

When we prepare reviews like these for you, we aim to please, to ensure you never lose a fight, and to give superior insight into some of the most efficient scopes in the market. With 300 blackout rounds, you are guaranteed to enjoy an orgasmic and seamless experience forged out of a shooter’s wildest dreams.

This is especially true with our favorite, the Trijicon 1-6×24 VCOG Scope, which tops all the other scopes in our list in versatility and ruggedness, and is the all-around superior scope.
