What are Rifle Scopes?
A rifle scope is one of the most important upgrades for improving accuracy, extending effective range, and increasing confidence behind the trigger. Whether you're hunting, target shooting, or dialing in at long distances, the right scope helps you see more, aim faster, and shoot with precision.
We carry a wide range of rifle scopes for all types of firearms---from air rifles and rimfires to high-powered centerfire hunting and tactical rifles. Each scope is built with features to match your shooting style, including adjustable magnification, precise reticles, parallax adjustment, and rugged durability.
How Rifle Scopes Work
A rifle scope uses magnified lenses and a reticle (crosshairs or dots) to help you align your shot at various distances. As you look through the scope, the lenses bring distant targets into clear view while the reticle provides an aiming point.
Most scopes feature:
- Variable or fixed magnification
- Windage and elevation turrets
- Parallax adjustment for improved accuracy
- Illuminated or non-illuminated reticles for different lighting conditions
Some scopes are optimized for specific use cases, like air rifle scopes with recoil-rated internals or tactical scopes with fast turrets and BDC reticles. The key is finding a scope that fits your rifle platform and your goals in the field or on the range.
Choosing the Right Scope
When selecting a scope, consider your rifle type, caliber, and how you plan to use it. Here's what to look for:
- Compatibility -- Choose a scope built for your platform. We offer air rifle scopes, rimfire scopes, and high-power optics for long-range and tactical shooting.
- Recoil Rating -- For spring-piston rifles, always choose air rifle scopes for springers. Standard scopes can fail under the unique recoil.
- Magnification -- Lower zoom (2--7x) is great for pesting or plinking. Higher zoom (up to 12x or more) helps with longer-range accuracy.
- Reticle Type -- Mil-dot, duplex, and illuminated reticles offer visibility and distance estimation for all lighting conditions.
- Parallax Adjustment -- Look for AO or side focus on air rifle optics to fine-tune focus at shorter ranges.
- Tube Size & Mounts -- Make sure the scope and mounting rings fit your air rifle's rail system.
- Durability -- Look for scopes that are shockproof, waterproof, and fog-resistant for use in rugged conditions.
Whether you're building a long-range precision setup, upgrading your hunting rifle, or equipping an air gun for pest control, we have the optics and accessories to get you on target.
