Browse US Rifle Scopes

There are two sensible ways into a scope search and they lead to different places. Starting from budget works when the rifle is already decided and you want the best glass a fixed amount of money will buy — the tiers above are the ones US buyers actually search, not converted pound figures. Starting from optic type works when the discipline is decided and the specification follows from it: first focal plane for a rifle you will dial and hold with, second focal plane for a hunting rifle you zero and leave alone.

The one decision worth making before either is the unit. A mil reticle belongs with mil turrets and an MOA reticle with MOA turrets, because every correction you make in the field is a translation if they disagree. One mil subtends 3.6 inches at 100 yards; one MOA subtends 1.047 inches at the same distance. Neither is more accurate in any way that matters — what matters is that your reticle, your turrets, your ballistic data and the person spotting for you are all speaking the same one.

Every listing here is filtered to scopes actually in stock at US retailers and priced in dollars, refreshed nightly. Prices move and stock moves with them, so a tier that looks thin today may not be tomorrow.
