How to Choose a Scope for Your Rifle

We have been in the business of providing rifle accessories in Nevada, including rifle scopes. So, we have the knowledge to guide you in choosing the right scope for your rifle.

Gun scopes are like mini telescopes used for magnification. It helps shooters shoot more accurately. Magnification refers to how close you can see a target compared to your naked eye. For example, an 8x scope can help you see your target 8 times closer than your naked eye. So the question is, how much magnification is needed? Well, that depends.

You may have heard people say to buy as much as you can. But it shouldn’t always be the case because you may never use some of them. And not using them means that you have wasted your money. So, buy the amount of magnification depending on your use.

If you primarily use your rifle for stalking small game, target shooting up to 100 yards, or homestead defense, you are better off with 1 to 4x magnification. If you use it for stalking large game, target shooting up to 200 yards, or hunting in mountains, forests, or other closed landscapes, you are better off with 5 to 8x magnification. If you use it for target shooting more than 200 yards or hunting in fields, deserts, or other open landscapes, you are better off with 9 to 12x magnification.
