The 12 Best Riflescopes

There is a huge choice of scopes for a rifle. The first thing you have to define is the main purpose of a riflescope. It depends on your individual needs. Determinative thing is how far do you need to see.

If you are a target shooter choose the scope for your usual distance. Scope for hunting can be with ordinary or increased zoom. Further vision may be in use at hunting big game but you don't need it for small game hunting.

Below, you will find 12 riflescopes evaluated by shooters and hunters.

This thing is nuts like it's weird Jake took this morning. He was like - this is the future. No, but seriously, I was a little skeptical about. They first said they're like: "Oh yeah! that's a range-finding riflescope. It gives all your ballistic calculations based on winchester ballistic calculator, everything." And I was like I can dial better any rifle scope. And no, I absolutely cannot. I mean it's like you can't dial faster within good conditions with anybody who can dial a rifle scope extremely well.

I can sit there and put two rounds on target before they can put one. It's that fast. You don't have to be good at dialing anymore in perfect wind. It reads I mean barometric pressure elevation drop and compensate its everything. The only thing you have to read is wind. If you've got no wind you just click the button shoot stuff at 1100 yards. It out at 1100 they were dialing at. I had my speed off by just a little bit but at 1100 yards. I was within six to eight inches on target. There's just a little bit low that's it was crazy. I shot my deer with that went really well 725. Yeah, with this rifle, this exact setup at the in the best scenario. You have it printed out. You know on your card but at that point you still have to buy a nice rangefinder that can read but atmospheric conditions. You trust the calculation out to 500 700. You know 500 700 yards pull the trigger get the button pull the trigger that's. It peoples hi I'm Marc Durham with outdoors man's. This is the Swarovski optic ds5 225 by 52 a range-finding ballistic ally compensating rifle scope as. You can see this rifle scope is a little bit larger. Most conventional rifle scopes. But in general it has the same construction as Leupold Gold Ring rifle scope and other units in this line.

This is a 40-millimeter tube as opposed to your one inch in your 30 mils. The reason for this is it's range-finding capabilities so this rifle scope does range find on the center crosshair. And then it will also apply a drop reticle to your exact ballistic load. It comes with the app from Swarovski called the DES configuration. You can adjust for your exact hand load. You can pick from a very long list of box loads out there Winchester Hornady browning pretty much. Anything you could ever imagine. You can dial in your speeds ballistic coefficient. Everything like and then simply put. It into pairing mode by pressing the plus. And minus button at the same time. And downloading everything on the app into the rifle scope. You get to that point. It is as simple as putting the center crosshair on your target clicking the back rangefinder button and then it will display your drop reticle.

You simply adjust up to display the drop reticle on your target. And pull the trigger. It will do everything for you without wind. And with no wind age correction. You will have a dead-on hit at. It pretties much any yardage up to eleven hundred. And thirty yards every single time unlike other rifle scopes the DES is top turret right here does not house. Any impact correction. It is actually the housing for the battery which is a cr123a very common battery the tool to make your elevation. And wind age adjustments. And then also the little allen wrench. Or a hex head you will use to unscrew the caps to reveal those elevation and windage adjustments after you've ranged your target. And your D s is now just playing the drop LED reticle.

Feel free to move the magnification. Wherever you'd like to display the reticle. Wherever you'd like. This reticle in there is actually first focal plane as. You change your magnification the reticle will adjust in. That field of view. The optic system implies Swarovski compact binoculars. It adjusts at a 120th MOA increment so you're not gonna be ever find yourself in. This situation where your shot is for some reason ending up between. One of its adjustments. You hit the range-finding button. You find yourself at a yardage closer to its eleven hundred. And thirty yard max distance for ballistic calculation. And the reticle displays below your field of view you'll actually see. It sees a little red arrow pop up pointing downward in the rifle scope. That will tell you to decrease magnification so you can actually see your drop LED reticle. Thank you for watching and you have more questions, please, feel free to give. Is a call one 800 to 900 6/5. Or visit us online at outdoors man's calm. And remember we are your only tripod backpack. And optics Authority see. This here laser tube point shoot things see the folks back home by. One frickin laser beams out of. These rifles go screw normal rounds. Now shoot deer with laser beams.

And thickness throughout the power range. This is important when you're shooting longer distances the smaller. And thinner the reticle is the. More accurate your shot placement should be remembered aim small miss small the main difference between the z3. And the z5 scope is the lateral parallax adjustment it's not available on the z3 model. It is a great added feature on the z5. And well worth the few added dollars. When taking those long-range shots. This feature allows. You to get a crisp focus on your target regardless of distance. Both scopes feature. Several reticle options to guarantee. You find the proper reticle for your shooting style on our z3 test model. We had the 4w reticle which is perfect for shooters who are used to using horizontal hash marks to adjust for windage the hash marks are placed in two Moas.

Or minute of angle increments. And by using this Ross key optics ballistic calculator you'll know exactly. Many moas to adjust for the ballistic calculator inputs the velocity. And ballistic coefficient of the cartridge you're using in conjunction with wind speed. And direction to tell. Many moas to compensate for it's also important to note. That because of its second focal plane design the scopes got to be in its highest magnification to properly compensate for wind. Although the ballistic turrets. You see on our test models don't come standard. We highly suggest getting them. They allow you to set. Several predetermined distances on your elevation turret. If you're going to shoot at ranges out past four hundred yards the old Arkansas witness theory isn't a good practice precision.

And practice get it done right. That trophy deserves your best effort the setup on the ballistic turret is very simple. And doesn't take long first go to the ballistic calculator. And enter the scope here using all of your load information. What distance you are zeroing for once you've inputted. This information the calculator will compute values for the colored dots based on 50 yard increments to change those values simply click inside the box. And put the distances. You want you have that information it's time to hit print. And head to the range. Once there you're good to disassemble the ballistic turret using the key. Provided unscrew the top cap next remove the three color-coded marking rings. And the coupling at. This point you'll see two gears the top here is. What you'll use to sight in the scope. You have your zero rotate the bottom gear clockwise to lock your zero in next put the coupling back on making sure to line the triangle on the coupling with the dot on the scope.

Now good to set the colored mark rings for your downrange distances start with the green dot first according to the information from the calculator. We need to adjust seven clicks up. Now place the green color-coded ring on the coupling insuring. That the green dot lines up with the white dot on the scope from here. You simply repeat the process for the yellow. And red color mark rings. Once you've set all the Rings rotate. It back to the zero position. And screw the cap back on the last thing you need to do is shoot at. Each distance to validate the ranges like. All its röszke scopes the Z series come with see-through lens covers to help protect your scope from scratches.

When walking through thick ruch Sarah ski is a leader for a reason. One of these great scopes work hard to get. It done for you this hunting season.

What's up, YouTube? Welcome back to the channel. Today I'm going to be unboxing the new Leopold VX Freedom riflescope. These sent to us a couple weeks ago. And I'm just gonna do a little unboxing video so let's do it. First, look in the box. Here is the scope very nice finish that's little pole logo. It's a 3 by 9 by 40 should be a good all-around scope very price friendly. I think Leopold has this scope listed at 269, just a really good-looking scope. I'm sure it'll be good for anything from 22 rifles clean up to big guns. I guess 7 millimeters. Or 300 Win Mag something I'd say. It ought to be able to hold up to anything you want to do to it just by looking at.

It's a very light. I think it's only 12 point 2 ounces is what the spec said and first thing I noticed is the eye relief is really good. As soon as you put your eye up to. It just opens up full view very nice. This scope has the duplex reticle in. It which is kind of just their basic reticle but it'll definitely get the job done, so I'm very impressed with. This scope so far other. That there's some paperwork in here. Some other paperwork nice little pulled sticker. And other that she's ready to mount up. And take to the gun range so. If you're in the market for a nice price friendly scope. Idefinitely give this freedom a look so. You found this video useful hit. That like button and subscribe to the channel.

You want to follow along. We roll our two videos a week. And we'd love to see. You back we do tips tricks gear reviews hunting tactics so thanks for watching guys. And we'll see you next week

And a little bit nastier but. It weighs nothing the reticle is spot-on. It is bright as you like actually. It is very bright. And clear and not a lot of money. Isuppose that's pretty much. Ihave to say for it is a beautiful light was crystal clear rifle scope but. Although there are parts of. You can see they've cut corners it's slightly cheaper machined. You can see that from a mile off it's not quite as sleet. Or well-designed as the others but. What scope so. Isuppose what we really have to do is look at what else. You can get this sub 400-pound mark hook em axe brilliant scope lots. And lots of toys hawk Sidewinder again lots. And lots of toys glass quality. And book quality does not stand up for this.

They do not offer a lifetime warranty a lot of other substandard scopes are also available. Isay substandard these guys got probably the hardest built scopes out on the market yes sometimes the glass quality isn't quite there but. One genuinely really is. And they're all built like tanks ok scope. You can use and abuse. And give back when it's broken at. Any time I can't say. It enough for less than 400 pounds so quick sum up. It is tiny it's got great light transmission. It doesn't weigh anything yes it's not gonna tackle your tactical Sinful it's not gonna make. You look like sniper. One but actually you don't. You don't need to this is a real nice purist scope don't think. It would have been nice to see would be illumination but. You can't get a scope. That weighs this much. This price with illumination with a lifetime warranty that's built. This well we weren't.

Even you're probably never actually going to have to use. It is built that well that's pretty much. Ihave to say about. It so who you guys have actually bought the. How a package these cheaper packages. This would be a really good reasonably priced way to upgrade your package. This is probably one of the best budget scopes on the market. And having literally just got. And played with it I'm shocked they've managed to bring it into. This country at this price that's a pretty. He genuinely is brilliant. It walks circles runs circles around. Everything else in the sort of budget end competition don't get behind on having a look. And I'm sure you'll be absolutely amazed thank. You very much for watching take care good bye.

And get her a test it alright so then. All matted up using the Springfield Armory st edge as a test platform today. One thing I immediately noticed mounting this thing up the clicks feel really positive especially for a scope in. This price point which is. You know actually kind of rare, so we'll get down well zero. This thing up then we do a little baby box drill to make sure their tracks correctly be in business for ammunition your date were using already black which traditionally has been. Some very accurate ammo so we'll see. This does out of the old edge as well. All right moving up two inches. And back down two inches hey good return to zero let's try right three inches. And back alright looks like.

She trash let's go look at our target okay well. That could be mistaken for a hot mess. It just shows that our gun does track like it's supposed to so guys zero up well. We had to the right came back Chuck that's been a little bit. And that's probably. Than on the gun then on the Gunners go came back to zero left fine down five alright so there. You have it Leopold vx-3 done three to nine quarter MOA adjustments which proved is. They are they track correctly glass is very clear especially for the price point stuff in the market for more. You know economy a are hunting scope low polls got.

Or custom dial system with the CTS system. You can receive a free turret engraved to the exact ballistic of your rifle just go to loopholed comm. And enter your information custom turrets like. These are usually only available on scopes. That are 2 to 3 times the price of. This VX freedom made of a durable. And lightweight 6061-t6 aircraft quality aluminum the VX freedom is built to be a workhorse rifle scope. That you can depend on season after season the main tube is one-inch so. It will be a lightweight workhorse the VX freedom is waterproof. And fog proof meaning you don't have to worry about inclement weather or unexpected accidents. One of my favorite features of. This rifle scope is the 1/4 MOA finger click which allows for quick adjustments for wind age. And elevation not only is. This finger click absolutely accurate.

And reliable but the repeatability. And dependability that. This brings to a rifle scope of. This class is unbeatable the obvious elephant in the room is the price for this piece of hardware. And loophole has made. That the absolute easiest part of buying this product the VX freedom line starts with an MSRP price of only two hundred. And thirty-four dollars.

And compact design and also cuts down on weight the z3 test model is only thirteen point seven eight inches in length. And tips of scale at a mere 145 ounces. Another great thing about the. One inch tube design is scope rings are readily available their larger objective lens as well as the highest quality lens coating used by Swarovski give. You a bright view even in low-light. When animals are most active the reticle is set in a second focal plane. Ilove having a second focal plane scope. When I'm taking longer shots the second focal plane means the reticle stays the same size.

And thickness throughout the power range. This is important when you're shooting longer distances the smaller. And thinner the reticle is the. More accurate your shot placement should be remembered aim small miss small the main difference between the z3. And the z5 scope is the lateral parallax adjustment it's not available on the z3 model.

Today on the Yamaha whitetail Diaries Jeremy Boone from Cabala's has been invited to deer camp. This week and he's brought along. Something new from Cabala's the Cabala's Instinct line of rifle scopes so the instinct line is Cabala's premium line of optics. They provide the highest end performance. You can get at a price point. That it was previously unattainable for. That kind of product so it's its European made optics comparable to your other high-end European optics but at far less of a price it's really a value proposition. And for the whole system it's. All you know HD optics great lens coatings extreme durability it's its. Something you can count on no matter. Where you're hunting or. What you're hunting but. Something we're pretty proud of it's a program we've had around for a. While now, we've made. Some tweaks to. It over the years and really happy with. Where it's at and it's performed great. And I can tell you. That a lot of people have taken a lot of great animals with. It it's its proven itself in the field time. And time again you know Cabala's has long been known as the world's foremost outfitter. And when you look at the halls of the people. That work in Cabala's. Imean there are people.

That they get outdoors. You know they don't just sit behind. That desk and look at numbers. Imean there's some die hard hunters. And that company die hard outdoors men die hard sportsmen people. That not only know that the products specifications from a retail standpoint but. They know from experience. How it works in the field. And the optics is one of those arenas. And areas that to me. That's just so important. Because when I look at optics. Idemand performance. Idemand durability. Idemand something that's gonna be able to withstand a harsh environment. And use not not looking for something I don't care. How pretty it is I want the inner workings to be there for me. Iwanted to perform. When I need them no matter. What I've put it through leading up to. That time the instinct scopes are great for a. Few reasons and one being of course the price point yeah to the quality. And really the optical quality is.

What stands it out as top-of-the-line the low light performance really is almost unmatched. And you know you have no worries. That you'll be able to see your target. When it's the most important time of day. And then you've got other features just like we've done with. It you know the outside of its just a good-looking scope its sleek. It looks good on the gun.

That's just so important. Because when I look at optics. Idemand performance. Idemand durability. Idemand something that's gonna be able to withstand a harsh environment. And use not not looking for something I don't care. How pretty it is I want the inner workings to be there for me. Iwanted to perform. When I need them no matter. What I've put it through leading up to. That time the instinct scopes are great for a. Few reasons and one being of course the price point yeah to the quality. And really the optical quality is.

This year uses powered fiber-optic technology. It's powered right here with a push button control and has eight settings so you can scroll through the settings. Both the top bottom of the magnification. I mean of the illusion settings to let you know that you've reached an extreme and then you start pushing the button and start scrolling back down.

It's visible in daylight. Another thing that the other thing that's nice about this product: we use Mill based reticle no adjustments so their tenth mill adjustments but the reticle is the SPR with an illuminated fire dot center. It's got one illuminated point at the center of the reticle and then several features underneath and around it.

This changes health retention sports optics. I'm out here with Galen Saleh. Today we've done something a little bit different with the different line of scopes and doesn't go to explain what we're doing today. We're testing a hunting rifle setup. We do a lot of long-range shooting with the long-range tactical precision style guns.

Today we're actually doing a very lightweight savage axis in 6 5 3. More with Athlon Neos for 12 with the BDC reticle in it just to show you a bit. You'll kind of budget entry-level hunting rifle setup. What it can do. We've taken this al optic and James. Gonna get some video of the shots but from 100 to 400. You know first-round hit no problem whatsoever so you can make you need to hit on deer, hogs, antelope, whatever. This little rifle and setup will do it for probably around four hundred and fifty dollars or fewer. You're out the door hunting so absolutely recommending tool optics. Alright, we're live on the 400. You're going to have to shoot through those lens, get it.

We are going to review. And see in the continuation of. This review and of course BDC 500 with illuminated reticle additionally. This model is available with center X illuminated reticle. This rifle scope is 300 320 millimeters long which is not very long. And not very heavy with four five hundred. And fourteen grams as. We can see color of. This rifle scope is made black product features. One inch or twenty-five point four millimeter tube which makes. This riflescope as we can see very slim parallax's already stated in an introduction of our review is a job adjusted with a left-hand side focus which goes as. We can see here from ten yards. And up to fifty and of course up to infinity rifle scope is designed for hunting at medium. And short range in general rifle scope is well-designed. It looks very slim also quite short. Although illumination tart on the ocular as. We can see here makes physical look of.

This rifle scope a bit unusual. And extraordinary we can see why the scope has no robber it's fully metal designed which is. Idon't know it adds so much to the robustness of. This rifle scope at least a new robust look of. This rifle scope it's also worth mentioning magnification ring has an option to install a troll lever for quicker magnification adjustments as. We can see here generally physical built. And design is very good magnification runs very smoothly as. We can see and so does the up there adjustment ring so there is no there's no really lackluster 's here the range of. This rifle scope is 4 to 12 with 3 times zoom factor as. We know lens diameter is 44 millimeters which may not be an optimal rifle scope for low light usage due to smaller objective lens at the lowest magnification the field of view is 8 meters on 100 meters.

And at the highest magnification we'll use three meters on 100 meters minimal eye relief equals 81 millimeters. While maximal eye relief is 86 millimeters which is good enough for a scope in. This price range there is also no present tunnel effect on. Any magnification settings. When looking through the rival scope optical quality of. This rifle scope we can say it's easily comparable to. Some other rifle scopes in. This price glass but in general optical quality is good image is clear. And sharp mostly at the edges. And in the entire picture of course. This product can with withstanding at least a shock of 308 Winchester caliber interiors.

This rifle scope is filled with nitrogen it's waterproof. And fog proof all rifle scopes from. This series this model as. You can see is also made in China in the continuation of our review. We are going to talk about reticle properties. And its illumination. This rifle scopes reticle is in a second focal plane it's designed with illuminated BDC 500 reticles in general radical wolf. And rifle scope or design. Or hunting in general radical is not too thin. And not too thick but it's just about right for hunting usage as for in the Malaysian control system which is located on the rifle scopes ocular as. It previously mentioned. One great feature regarding illumination which. We noticed during our reviews of path1 products is certainly full day time almost full day time usability. And high low-light usability illumination has no auto turn off function as. We can see it has 11 brightness intensity levels.

They have no Auto turn of functioning between which is not very good but certainly not resentful due to price class of. This rifle scope overly illumination is good direct is perhaps a bit hard to use but that's not the worst feature of. This horoscope additionally. We mentioned brightness levels have no turnoff function in between but also a thing of not so high importance since. This rifle scope is considered. And entry price class rifle scope. This rifle scope is designed with kept hunting turrets with for my sake value. And multi number of turns for this price class actually turn indicator is quite good as. We can see it's designed with simple lines simple line diagram which is not really which is quite good as. We mentioned for rifle scope. This price class in our previous videos. We mentioned turn indicator as a lackluster on. More expensive and renowned rifle scope so. One is really not bad tarick's feature 15m way traveling on turn. They are not resettable.

And don't have locking function which is frankly not necessary with hunting rifle scope as for the mechanical qualities of. This rifle scope starts audibility as. We can hear it's very good click fill is not very crisp but not too bad. Either as for the ease of use. We can feel some diversity between tards wind age start is very easy to use as for the elevation target it's a bit harder to use but of course. We have to consider. This is an enterprise-class rifle scope overally tarts are designed according to our expectations. We can feel some diversity between elevation. And wind age Starrett but as mentioned it's expected so. We are again at the conclusion of our review normally. We start with good features of our product but. This time we're going to start with the bad ones as for the bad features diversity between elevation.

And wind age start as certainly worth mentioning and it's quiet. Ishould say troubling as for the good features of. This riflescope you can certainly name warranty of. This riflescope as all know by. Ihave long offers and covers full lifetime warranty our relief is also a nice addition to describe the scope it's quite long to an indicator which is featured on. More expensive rifle scopes so it's quite good physical bill to. This rifle scope is. We mentioned diopter ring and magnification ring run very smoothly. And rifle scope is full metal made. We can also point out the usefulness. And nice built of illumination control system so in general. If you're looking to buy a cheap rifle scope for hunting with good optical.

And physical characteristics. This might be just what you're looking for this rifle scope includes lens covers lens cleaning cloth. And user manual with care instructions so.

What's going on guys. This is bears I want to talk to your day about the Burris xtr -. This is their 1 to 5 power scope. Something that you're gonna want to replace your red dot. And magnification systems with. If you're gonna save weight. And get less bulky and clunky. Whatever else you got on their well. You got cappuccino maker etc. You want slim down this is definitely. Something you want to look at so the latest craze. And it's actually something that's well worth talking about in the red dot game is having a red dot in a three power magnification system the. One thing that's downfall. It is clunky its bulky. You don't kind of have. Something hanging off the side there. You know there are better options out there's plenty of places. That are doing a true. You know zero magnification to four. Or five six tons of different scopes out there the Burris is. One that's in that game. This is the one two five power so. What you're getting there is the ability to go out to longer distances but crank. It down to know magnification so. You can use it like a true red dot so the configuration. Ihave here is in mill. You know mrad what this has is per click you're gonna get point. One mill adjustments which is great fine adjustments. You can do with all have liked. This scope I haven't really had.

Many problems there's. One problem they can improve. That would really make. This scope worth the purchase price. And we'll talk about. That a little bit later but let's talk about just the basics here so. You got your focus down here. You have your power adjustment here the great thing about. That power adjustment is the fact. Some great and early on. It so it's real easy to grab. And turn whatever magnification. You want to turn it Slims's down here. You have your knobs. You have your turrets. Iwill say that not sure. If it's gonna be picked up. One audio but it does have audible. And tactile feel to. It as far as the different adjustments. Iwouldn't call them always.

You know as far as the top. One here you can definitely feel. It moves to different adjustments. You can take that off right here. And then move this turret to zero. It out so as you can see here bumping the camera like a professional as. You can see here you know I've been screwing around. These butts move this back to zero. It zeroed out I move the turret back to zero so. This does get bumped in my case. Whatever I just get out. It back to where the zero is. And I'm zeroed out so. You have your two turrets here. And then you have the illumination knob right here. This is the they can definitely improve on the illumination knob. Some issues with not necessarily. You know getting a battery in here. And such which is relatively easy. You just go ahead and take off. This cover you got a twenty thirty-two battery right there that's. What you're gonna use two for the illumination but um. What I've had a problem with is I've had the illumination die on.

You know as I was using it so. Idon't have it on at the moment. Because it's dead and what's happened to. Me is I've put this in the off position which is right there. You can also have an off position in between. And illumination so I've had. It in the off position. It in a box out box in a case went to maybe like a class. Something and take and it's dead. It got bumped whatever. What I think they can do here is. You take a normal red dot. You feel how difficult. It is to move settings like my aim point. Ialways leave it on but. Ialways leave it on the same setting which is a lower setting because I'm not sure.

Ihave to use if it's in a house. Something you want to have. It a lower setting for nighttime etc. Ialways have the same setting and. Inever have all of a sudden jacked up to a different setting and. What they can do here is make the resistance on these knobs. This turret here for the illumination. We could definitely make. That a lot more resistant to movement it's a little too easy to move. This back and forth so. Ithink that's one improvement. They can make that would definitely assist people with putting these in cases etc like. Isaid I've had my battery go dead of multiple times. And that's the one thing. That really stood out to. You know I would call. It an irritation factor. You got to either replace the battery. This was in a situation. You need to use your scope in a self-defense situation your illumination wouldn't be on so. They can definitely improve on. That as far as the clarity of the glass there's.

Nothing wrong with I haven't really noticed. Anything where I couldn't see. Anything where things weren't clear. You know focusing it out. And the such I've learned. This in the freezer as. Idid with my previous scope review with the SWF a I've thrown in a bucket of water did. Some box drills everything checked out well the thing I did notice was after. It in the freezer it in there for a. Few hours maybe like four hours. Something like everything it was nice and frosted the adjustments were still moving in. And out relatively well so. You might see some other ones. You get the knob after it's been. You know either outside. Or in the freezer for a. Few hours and you're really trying to crank down. And get on the move the still out it's pretty smooth action with being in the freezer for about four hours so. Iwas really impressed with the turrets. They felt after being in the freezer as far as performance of the scope. You know I've been hitting sub MOA with. This scope for the most part depending on the ammunition but using match ammunition I've had no problem hitting sub MOA groups 100 yards.

And I've gone ahead. This is their f LT SPR scope mount. And I've taken and I've had no problems with keeping it at a MOA grouping at a hundred yards. You know it's been consistent for me over the last priced six months. That I've had you know I've used. It in placing my red dot on my 16-inch AR. And I've been really pleased with the performance the weights not too bad it's around 17 ounces for this so you're really not adding. That much more weight. You were to have a red dot with a magnification magnifier on. You guys are looking for something to replace your red dot. And magnifier system. You just have a red dot. And you're looking to. You know put something in place. You know you want to get. More magnification you were looking to maybe get a magnet magnifier etc. You know this might be. Something you want to look at so.

If you're interested in. This is worth the look the quality of the workmanship of. It being built is exceptional I've had no problems with. Ithink it's well worth a look so. You guys have any questions go ahead. You guys have a burst xtr — of. Any sort go ahead and put your experience in the comments down below. Or better yet make a video about. It until next time later.

Imean there's some pretty firm resistance um. You know which you know. Ipersonally think is good. Ifelt other scopes. Where the resistance has been so much. They my mind it's like wow. You know maybe it shouldn't be. That much there's clearly firm resistance here but. Idon't think it's too bad. You know I it's again everybody's got their own preference but. Idon't think it's too bad it's clearly. Something when whatever. That power is you're not going to tweak. Or adjust that power accidentally it's going to be. Something you do intentional. Something I want to point out about the battery cap for the elimination feature is. You know what you're going to. What you're going to see is. You know for you to screw the battery cap off the caps actually. This whole piece here that's on top you're going to have to go through. And dial all the way in. One direction okay before. You know on the switch until. It stops and then at.

That point you know you're going to be able to start screwing your battery cap off. You can see it's a single CR 2 O 3 2 battery. It looks like there's an o-ring that's sitting in the bottom of the cap there that's going to seal right around the surface. You tighten it the verse states. That the you know the riflescope comes waterproof shockproof fog proof. You know I haven't done. All those things but. Ihave no reason to believe. That it's not you know. You tighten the cap. Iscrewed it back on the switch had to go. All the way in the other direction again before. Icould actually tighten. It down further you know it's a.

You know when. You tighten I mean it's there. Iwouldn't over crank. Iwould just tighten. It down enough to you know. You know it's in good contact. You can feel you reach. That good contact point I've already talked a little bit about the side focus. Or parallax adjustment of knob right here. And just real quick I'll cover it's a. You know it's set at 50 yards. And it's a very smooth resistance. And turning it you know. And then the knobs actually got indication marks at 50 75 100 200 300 400 800 infinity turns. It back to a hundred. Iwant to point out. That your wind age turret cap. You know is indication marks on. That are going to show like 1 R 2 R 3 R which is. You know if you're dialing in a right adjustment there. You know you can see. That you're going in the right direction. Or left adjustment you can also see you're going in the right in the correct direction.

Now for you to know. Where your zero location is in the event. You get a full turn away from zero. You know vs put a indication mark here a vertical mark on the side of the turret housing itself so for example. Idial in a you know right adjustment which ends up being you know will say 25 MOA right. You can see clearly. That I'm far away from my zero mark. Or my zero reference line right there so. You can quickly know. If you're you know. Where to go to get back to your zero from a wind age perspective so in. This case right here I'm already back to my zero. Iwanted to dial in. Some type of left adjustment. You can see now the lines covered up. And to make the line visible you're going to go back in. That direction as well. You can hear you know turning this.

You know there and I'm going to turn. And stop talking here but. You can hear that there's very audible clicks. You know it's got a very firm resistant resistance. Imean you're not going to in. Any way bump a click box. Idon't know you can tell. You know I am putting some pressure on. It takes you've got to grab. That knob to be able to turn. It so it's very takes a very positive. Or significant amount of effort to turn. And the clicks are very distinct. Now for your elevation turret cap. What you're going to see is. You know you start out with zero. And then then directly above zero is also the 25 number so. You can go drue and dial-in let. And keep all in focus you're going to dial in.

You know you can dial in a full we'll say 25 MOA right there. Now you're referencing. That 25 ml a mark now I'm going to try to get. You can see under on the underside right here of the turret cap. You can see there's a line on the turret housing which is giving you a visible indication. That you've already made. One full revolution alright we'll go ahead. And make a second full revolution alright so at. This point I've made. Another full revolution. You know, so I've gone a total of 50 Moas. You can also see a little bit better. How the turret housing itself. You know the first line indicate there's a. One to the left which indicates. One full revolution there's. Another line of a wider line there. That then there's a two beside. It which indicates you know a second full revolution. And I'll turn it a little bit.

You can see I turned. It to the point to it stops. And that's about 66, so I'm sorry 62 Moas of adjustment. You know the way it came set. It looks like to me there's probably. Another line above that that represents three full turns. Now I'm going to go ahead. And take it back to its zero again. While I'm doing you can clear. That there's very positive audible clicks. You know it's got a very positive feel. You know you couldn't hear. Anything it's got a very positive feel. That you're making those clicks. You can just you know close your eyes basically. And dial all the way back down to your zero position because of the zero stop feature that's been set. Ifinished range testing the Ruger precision rifle. And with the Burris xtr — rifle scope. Iended up with a about 16 Moas of elevation adjustment.

And about 5 Moas of right adjustment — to get at zero so. Ineed to go through. And reset my turret caps back to their zero mark. And the first turn cap I'm going to do is going to be my wind age adjustment cap. And so Burris gives. You a an allen wrench here. And the cap actually. Each cap has two set screws in. It so the first thing I'm going to do is loosen the set screw here. And the other set screw there for a wind age. Now with those loose. You can actually just smoothly rotate the wind age elevation turret cap I'm gonna try to get. It lined up right there. You can rotate it to its zero position lined up with the index mark right here let. Me get over there they can see a little bit better like.

You can see the cap came out a little bit. Iloosen the set screws. And the reason is. That I've actually pulled. This cap offs now I'll go ahead. It here just to show. And the cap itself the inside of the cap is. All smooth if there's. Some grease on it there. And there's an o-ring around here. And then there's grease. What happens is you put your cap. You pull it back on what you're going to find is. You know there's actually it's like a little pressure vessel. You know you've got a little air in there that's going to have to compress so you're going to have to push. It in — to compress the air that's in there.

Iwouldn't recommend pulling the cap off only because of. That that situation right there. Ipull remove one of the set screws completely out right there then. That provides a little tiny path to allow. That air to bleed out but. Because there's so much lubrication in there. Imean it's extremely small so. Iactually had to sit here. And hold it in position for a. While is you know the molecules of air escaped out until. It kind of held in place. Now for the purposes of what I'm doing here I'm really just showing you. How to reset your wind age turret cap. And I'll go ahead and screw. That set screw back in. And then screw the other set screw back in. And I'm assuming that it's pushed in back into the right location in.

And also that it's truly at zero mark which actually it's not but you'll just need to make sure it's at zero mark. That adjust more time here okay. It adjusted back to its zero mark. You can hear how firm the clinks are. You know it's very positive. You know clicks whenever you're making your wind age adjustment as well. Whenever you're making your elevation of judgment. Now similar to that for the elevation adjustment. Iwant to reset that I'm going to go through. And loosen these two set screws here. One there and the other ones further around there go ahead. And loosen those now I'm going to dial my knob. And then there's just it's just a smooth turn right. Now there're no clicks. That are happening back until. It says zero when it's in the zero position you're going to have to go through.

And push it down tight. And hold it firmly in its lowest position. Because that's that's that's required to make sure. That the stop actually stops at the right location so. Imean I'm holding that cap down pretty firm right. And I'm re tightening these set screws here go ahead. And do a little bit. More tightness on them see it's pretty good there. And here also all right so. It rights the it's on zero here. If I'm dialing in some elevation. You know you can hear very positive clicks there. When I'm through go back to zero. It turns around and goes to zero. And just stop firmly at. That zero position you were signing it in. You needed to change your zero slightly. You needed to go negative. Or in a down direction then. You would basically just loosen your cap here give yourself. You know a certain amount of MOA offset. That would allow you to actually to dial. You know in the down direction. You know you'd loosen. It up turn it over donít. You know tighten it back down.

And out in the down direction which would allow. You to actually zero. And then when you're through. You would go through. And reset your turn cap okay I'm going to make an attempt on video to show. How the reticle changes size as. You increase the power. Or zoom in it is a first focal plane reticle right. Now I'm at 5x you can see. Istart increasing the magnification. You can see how the reticle starts zooming in. More alright that's 12x so that's about 15 X right there come on around here as 20 X right there. And at 25 X we're at. That location right there. You can see you know your field of view basically is about 24 MOA low but a little over. That maybe close to 25 Moas. You know up down left. And right now I'll go ahead. And zoom back out all right see back out like. And I'm going to zoom in. More time but before. Ijust want to point out. You can see how the reticle itself. You know when you're zoomed out it's really thin then set of crosshairs.

You know it for me it's difficult to really pick up the fidelity of the sub tensions in there but as. You zoom in you know like there for example at 12 X. You know it really starts looking good. You know that's at 20 X right there. You know again it really. You know it's very easy to read. And then as you go ahead. And zoom on ending them further again there's there's 25 X right their go. All the way out like. That 5 X and I'll just see them. All the way back in 25 X right there alright. Ithink I've got everything in focus. What I'm trying to show here I'm at 5 X right. Now on the scope and I'm going to dial through the illumination settings. And so I'll call them off as. Iget to each setting right. Now the eliminations off, so I'm at 1 2 3 4 five six seven eight nine ten eleven.

And then I'm going to go back off again. All right I'm going to do the same thing and. Now sumed into 25 X so here. We go again one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven okay. What you probably just noticed is. That in bright light the low level settings. You really can't even see the illumination in the scope. You know it clearly takes getting probably to a intensity level of six. Or seven or eight you know in. That range before you can really start seeing a difference in bright light. Now I've got the intensity set on eleven. And I'm at 25 X now, so I'm just going to zoom out that's about 15 X that's about 9 X. And that's at 5 X right. Now I'm going to zoom back in. All the way to 25 X right there. Now in this case. What I've done is some dark material back there in the background. And I've turned the lights off on my bench.

You know it's its trying to simulate not night at. All but maybe like a dawn. Or dusk type situation. Or maybe looking into. Some shadows right now I'm at a intensity of 11 I'm in at 25 X. And I'm going to go ahead. And go down to two. One on the intensity so. Imet eleven ten nine eight seven six five four three twos. One okay now I'm going to go ahead. And zoom out back and I'm at the elimination level of. One two three four five six seven. Ican start picking it up on the view finder right there eight there's a big difference between seven. And eight nine ten and eleven. This is probably where the greatest value of the illuminated reticle comes into play is.

When you're in and getting into lower light situations. And you're really zoomed out. And the reticle crosshairs are very fine. You turn the illumination on. It really helps. That Center aiming area stand out. All right I'm still at five X. Now I'm trying to simulate a nighttime situation. You probably can't see your target but. Ijust wanted to go ahead. This anyway, so I'm going to intensity level of eleven. And I'm at 5x zoom power so ten nine eight seven six. You can see it's really there's a big difference. You get down to six five. You can just barely see. It in there for I can't really see. It on the screen three two. And that's off what I'm going to do is. Iwant to zoom in to 25 X so. That the theoretical appear is much larger zooming in.

Now the reticle is turned off. Now I'm going to go through. And start stepping up intensity levels so that's intensity level of 1. And I'm not sure if it's coming up at. All 2 3 4 so alright. You can really clearly see. It there at 4 just for kicks I'm gonna go back down to 3 3 yeah. You can faintly see. It in there now 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11. And then back off again, so I'm just going to go. All the way back down to 1 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. You know I don't know. If those intensity levels are. Or so low some type of night vision device. It might make this scope usable. Idon't have I really can't check. That way but clearly. You know it's got a wide range of intensity levels I've got the burst xtr — rifle scope installed on my rubra precision rifle.

This part of the video review. Itried to really look closely at the features of the rifle. And the reticle. And an illumination feature in the next part 3 I'm going to go through. And take a close look at comparing this rifle scope against a couple of others which. Ithink might be you know somewhat comparable anyway as always. You like this video please like. Or subscribe and I'll try to bring more detailed reviews thanks.

Conclusion

As you can see, scopes have different applications just like rifles do. There is no scope to be universally used on all guns.

There are two major categories of rifle scopes: fixed and variable. Fixed items have a stable magnification. They are more affordable but less versatile. Variable scopes are able to change zoom from 2X to 9X and even up to 24X. This type is widely available but has a higher price.

There is no necessity to overpay for features which are not essential for you. That's why you should be picky and attentive to your needs and shooting conditions.
