Whether you’re hunting at distance, dialing in your AR for tactical use, or competing in long-range precision shooting, choosing the right rifle scope is mission critical. In this guide, we break down the best rifle scopes and optics for every type of shooter—from close-range LPVOs to high-magnification glass built for precision and durability.
Understanding Rifle Scopes: What to Consider
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to rifle optics. The right choice depends on your platform, use case, and engagement range. Key factors to consider include:
- Magnification: LPVOs (1-6x, 1-8x) for short to mid-range, and 10x+ for long-range shooting
- Reticle Type: MOA, MIL, BDC, illuminated or non-illuminated
- Durability: Waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction
- Mounting: Compatibility with your rifle and preferred shooting position
