Rifle Scopes
A good riflescope is essential for accurate and responsible shooting. Whether you’re hunting, practicing sport shooting, or training at long range, the right riflescope makes the difference between a miss and a hit. In our Riflescopes category, you’ll find a carefully selected range for both beginner and experienced shooters.
We only offer brands that have proven themselves in terms of reliability, optical quality, and precision, including Vortex, Konus, and Noblex E-Optics. Each brand has its own strengths, ranging from rugged hunting scopes to high-end tactical models designed for long-range shooting.
Which riflescope best suits your application?
Choosing the right riflescope depends on several factors, such as your intended use, the distances you shoot at, and your personal preferences. When comparing riflescopes, the following aspects play an important role:
-
Magnification range and objective lens diameter
-
MOA or MRAD adjustment system
-
First focal plane (FFP) or second focal plane (SFP)
-
Reticle type and turret configuration
-
Parallax adjustment and zero stop
-
Mounting, rings, and correct mounting height
Because these topics are often technical, we’ve created a comprehensive knowledge center where riflescopes are explained step by step.
Frequently Asked Questions about Riflescopes
Which riflescope do I need for hunting?
For hunting, most shooters choose a riflescope with a wide field of view, good light transmission, and a practical magnification range such as 2–10x or 3–12x. Look for a clear reticle, strong low-light performance, and a robust, weather-resistant construction. The best choice depends on the type of hunting, shooting distances, and lighting conditions.
Which riflescope is suitable for sport shooting and long range?
For sport shooting and long-range use, riflescopes with reliable turrets, consistent tracking, parallax adjustment, and often higher magnification—such as 4–16x or 5–25x—are popular. Features like a zero stop and a reticle with holdover markings help make precise adjustments at varying distances.
What is the difference between MOA and MRAD?
MOA and MRAD are two systems used to adjust a riflescope. MOA is based on minutes of angle, while MRAD uses milliradians. MRAD aligns well with metric distances, whereas MOA is commonly used with yards and inches. It’s important that both the reticle and turrets use the same system.
What does first focal plane (FFP) and second focal plane (SFP) mean?
With a first focal plane riflescope, the reticle scales with the magnification, ensuring that distance and holdover markings remain accurate at all zoom levels. With second focal plane scopes, the reticle stays the same size and markings are usually only accurate at one specific magnification. FFP is popular for precision shooting, while SFP is often preferred for hunting and simplicity.
What magnification do I need on a riflescope?
The ideal magnification depends on your application. For short distances and driven hunts, low magnification such as 1–6x or 2–10x is ideal. For all-round use, 3–12x or 3–15x is very popular. For long-range and precision shooting, higher magnifications like 4–16x or 5–25x are commonly used.
What is parallax and when should I adjust it?
Parallax is an optical effect that can cause the point of aim to shift if your eye is not perfectly aligned behind the scope. This can affect accuracy, especially at longer distances and higher magnifications. Using the parallax adjustment allows you to focus the scope for the correct distance and eliminate aiming errors.
How do I mount a riflescope correctly?
Use rings that match the tube diameter of your riflescope and choose the correct ring height for a comfortable shooting position. Tighten everything to the recommended torque, make sure the scope is level, and check the eye relief. Proper mounting prevents damage and improves shooting accuracy.
How do I zero a riflescope?
Zeroing means adjusting the riflescope so that the point of impact matches the point of aim at a chosen distance, such as 50 or 100 meters. Fire a group, measure the deviation, and correct it using the turrets in MOA or MRAD. Repeat until the shots are consistently on target.
What is a zero stop and do I need it?
A zero stop is a mechanical stop in the elevation turret that allows you to quickly return to your zero setting. This is especially useful when shooting at varying distances and frequently dialing adjustments. For long-range and precision shooting, a zero stop is almost indispensable.
Which riflescope brands do you sell?
We sell riflescopes from well-known brands such as Vortex, Konus, and Noblex E-Optics. Within each brand, you’ll find models suited for hunting, all-round use, and long-range shooting. On the brand pages, you’ll find an overview of the available models and the key differences.
