Choosing the Right Rifle Scope or Red Dot
Choosing between tactical scopes and optics can seem daunting, but we are here to make sure you find the perfect rifle scope for your needs.
Magnification & Objective Lens Size
Magnification determines your effective range and field of view, while objective lens size influences brightness and clarity. Larger lenses offer superior light transmission, crucial for dawn and dusk hunts or target shooting in varying conditions.
FFP vs. SFP Reticles
First focal plane (FFP) reticles scale as you zoom, allowing accurate holdovers and bullet drop compensation at any magnification—a must for tactical and long-range applications. Second focal plane (SFP) reticles remain constant in size, offering simplicity for set-magnification use.
MOA vs. MRAD Adjustments
Choose between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MRAD) turret systems. MOA is popular for hunters and recreational shooters, while MRAD appeals to precision marksmen who prefer metric-based adjustments.
Red Dots vs. Rifle Scopes
Red dots excel at lightning-fast sighting and close-quarters control. If you’re engaging targets at longer ranges, a magnified rifle scope is more effective, thanks to ballistic drop compensators and detailed reticle options.
