For 6-24x | 5-25x | 4-20x | 5-30x


Do you like scope shopping? I do.

Do you get sometimes confused by the myriad of options, spread over the internets? I do.


Wouldn't it be nice if we could compare the specs of a long range scopes side-by-side?


Then we would be able to see just which scopes are appropriate for out type of shooting, and which fulfill our personal minimum requirements, which scopes have deal-breakers, which have cool extras, and how much each scope costs approx…!


Many of the following questions about scope features are important when scope shopping –

and the attached Scope Specs Tables answer each one of them –

comparing the specs of over 80 long range scopes side-by-side.


(1) Wouldn't you want to know about what kind of warranty comes with a certain scope?


(2) What's your choice: FFP or SFP?
And at what magnification is the SFP reticle calibrated?


(3) Is weight important to you?
Is total length an issue?


(4) For those really long shots – wouldn't you want to know if a scope has enough elevation turret adjustment so you can reach those ranges?


(5) Maybe you'd like your reticle to be a grid style ("Christmas tree"). Which models have that feature?





(6) Are you shooting long range and dial your turrets? Then you'd probably like to know how much one revolution of the turret moves the reticle: a dinky and uneven 6 mil, or a large and round 10 mil.


(7) Is it important if a scope has an illuminated reticle?


(8) Some want them thicker, some want them thinner: How thick are the main lines of the reticle?


(9) Often scope manufacturers don't tell you – but they build scopes where the turrets can't talk to the reticle and vice versa, because they speak different languages: one speaks MOA, the other MIL. Not cool. But no scope seller has a filter to throw those mismatched scopes out of the search results. And how to find scopes quickly that have either MOA or MIL if you have a strong preference?


(10) Adjusting parallax with a side focus (SF), instead of an adjustable objective (AO) is somewhat more comfortable — the shooter doesn't need to reach way out there. All scopes in the Specs Table have SF.


(11) Which scopes have exposed turrets?






(12) For precise holdoffs no matter what load I'd want a holdoff reticle with evenly spaced hash marks/ dots rather than a bullet drop compensating reticle (BDC).


(13) If you want an all-round scope for your hunt that can both take close shots on a stalk — but also reach way out — then a wide field of view (FoV) is important, not just a high magnification. Which scopes would qualify on both counts?


(14) The eyebox is the area in which your eye has to be in order to see a full scope image without dark corners. The larger the better, because the quicker you can aim and shot on a hunt. And therefore, the larger the exit pupil at max. magnification should be. What exit pupil sizes do the top five scopes on my wish list have?


(15) Would you like your reticle hash marks/ dots numbered to quicker find your correct holdoff?


(16) Some of us like a close parallax distance. Most scopes in the Specs Table have a minimum parallax of 10 yards.


(17) Some of us like to shoot long range but have kids in college... — and a four digit amount for a scope might not be a wise choice at the current time. So, most scopes in the Specs Table are around $500, some a bit more, some a bit less.





I started this Scope Specs Table to narrow down my options. Maybe it's helpful to you as well!
