10 Best Budget Hunting Rifle Scopes

Cabelas rifle scopes review

What’s up YouTube shooting people here’s a really quick unboxing of an optic. I bought for the AR build it’s a Bushnell AR optic a part of the AR optics line AR two to three rifle scope here’s the information right here on. This is a BDC reticle so it’s got drop points on. It multi-coated black it’s waterproof. That stuff this scope is. This is basically a scope that’s going to be used for initial sighting in. And testing of rifles. I actually have another higher-end scope coming in so. This is a sub $200 scope. You can buy an Amazon. It consistently gets good ratings. And well people tend to like them, people, a lot of people call them the working man’s rifle scope. They’re inexpensive. They function pretty well. You know for a low recoil rifle like an ar-15. I think for the purpose, I’m going to be using it for this testing so. This will be on a rifle. While I’m waiting for the other optic to come in. Or figuring out what optic. Iwant to get this will be on there. And then I’ll get this place too. Another rifle etc cetera alright so let’s open up. Some got all the kind of standard stuff in. It goes ahead and takes a look at. It Package is sort of pretty nice the little pro12 for it’s a little bit bulky but that’s okay. That by bulky you know it’s got welds bulky. You know much higher power scopes on deer rifles had. That seems less bulky. This but it’s not bad the field of view.

I guess is 20 millimeters. Or so what’s it say on here 24 millimeters to 1 to 4 X. I doubt you’ll be able to see the radical through there of course not seems to be well-made it’s got. One-click is the point you know looks pretty good vertical adjustment set cetera et cetera. And made in Korea so that’s. You save some cash there’s a. Some stuff on the bottom here it’s a little sticky. I think it’s for the packaging there it’s off. Now so decent rifle scope for the money comes with a. You know one of these lens caps so should be. All set let’s see it seems to rotate pretty well it’s anti-fog. That stuff it’s got the drop radical functions as so. You guys are probably familiar with. That so there you go wow. This is a just a real short video I’m going to go ahead get. It mounted on the AR.

Hi, I’m Cody Nelson from the coma the optics authority I’m here today with Cortland food from Zeiss we’re going to talk today about the disease conquest V force. You know Cortland why don’t. You take us through them. And tell what you think about yeah thanks Cody so the conquest before series from Zeiss. This is kind of our entry model price point scope is your retail from about 800 to 1200 dollars. All 30-millimeter tubes. We do have an uncapped elevation turret with a ballistic stock built into every. One of the scopes so. You can tell where you’re at exactly so. You have a really positive return to zero point cap witness shirt. Because generally in the field you’re not dialing a windage turret just keeps. It is a little bit smarter a little. Lower profile sure. We do have illuminated versions available in the 4 to 16. And 6 to 24 so corpsman. When you’re comparing this kind of tell. Me the differences between. You know like the sizes. And then maybe you know like.

You know the radicals. And whatnot between them so starting with. These with the v4 we got the 4 to 16 power range. We do in a 4 to 16 44 which is. One right here so it keeps your objective lens a little bit smaller sure makes the scope a little bit lighter weight a little. Lower profile on the rifle. You still have your uncapped elevation turn with ballistic stops. You have a very positive metal-on-metal zero stop built-in capita windage turret the benefit to is. We offer these in three different reticles so. You can get one on RZ flex reticle which serves an inner crosshair the CMO a reticle which is going to be broken down in. This particular scope. And two MOA increments sure as you’re going down the reticle to use the reticle for your holdover. And then our ZB our reticle the ZB r reticle is a little unique but.

It does have a full Christmas tree style reticle sure under the horizontal crosshair so you’ve done. All your windage holders are okay. These scopes are our second focal plane yes sir so. Everything is a second focal plane to compost before in core load the next. One for us it’s going to be it’s gonna be the four to 1650 so. We offer this scope in a 50-millimeter objective also the benefit of going to 50 mm. We can get it anonymity. And illuminated so again 50 memory objective gets. You a little bit lighter transfer through the objects. And be a little bit brighter. It does have a little bit of weight but the v4 is being so small. Though profiled it doesn’t have a ton of weight ty parallax adjustments on. One side along with your illumination. It does have an on/off feature so between every one feature is an off click share’.

How having to dial the rotation. All the way around to turn. And off yeah that would be for guys like. That would just leave. It on the whole time I’ve been there done. That myself so the illumination is only available in our zoo a reticle so it’s her it’s out to MOA hash mark reticle okay. And the just the hash mark portion Dracula’s gonna be illuminated not the whole thing so you’re not making a too bright right jumping up from the 4 to 16 we’re gonna go into the 6 to 24 so. This is our highest power scope of the v4 again we’ll start from the bottom 30-millimeter tube illuminated. And not illuminated as well with the Xia moya reticle. These two scopes are available in the ZB r reticle just without the illumination right so.

We do find that the ZM way is the. Most preferred for illuminated reticles again it’s very lightweight. This is 6 to 24 of our scope. That weights 22 ounces so it’ll be perfect for yours. Even as small as you’re not rifles. You know a lot of the guys seem to be hitting. And a half or maybe. That much as 10 pounds, but they’re not wanting you to know a big giant. You know two and a half pounds gopher exactly okay exactly yeah. We designed these scopes to be a dedicated long-range item scope for mount situations. And forgot just way conscious on his rifles you’re not had sort of like a giant optic on there. And gained a ton of weight. And you’re still getting performance ID we’ve been a lightweight object so again guys a really great value awesome scopes super strong super reliable. Ireally suggests these scopes for your next long-range rig again Cortland thank.

You for coming out today it’s always nice to have. You in town and to be able to look at the scopes. And see what’s new and have your knowledge. Everything here for so again Cody from going hunt comm: third from Zeiss thanks for being with. You have any questions again subscribe to the youtube page go to optics at go hook calm

as a hunter long-range shooter an optic junkie. Ican tell you we’re in a great place. When the quality of optics is going up. And the price is coming down. And Zeiss has launched the v4 which is a great example of. That the conquest v4 series of rifle scopes delivers high-quality German engineering to a family of rifle scopes that’s. More affordable to a larger audience prices range from $799 to 1199. Each scope comes in a 30 millimeter tube. And with four different magnification models. You can top every rifle. You own with the right scope for the job the one-two for the 24 is ideal for dangerous game 3 guns. Or weapon platform setups. Both eyes are open and a full field of view is essentially the mid-level magnification unit is a 3 to 12 by 56. And serves the hunter seeking the best low-light performance the 4 to 16 by 44. And the 6 to 24 by 50 are the higher magnification scopes in the series. And our hands down my favorite for Western hunting to be able to hit a target at long range you’ve got to be able to see. It at 24 power you can be extremely precise as well over a thousand yards regardless of your desired application. Or magnification you’re going to be extremely happy with the quality of glass the repeatability of the turret as well as the accuracy. And the durability of. This line of scopes with high definition glass enhanced with T start light transmission coatings. You will see a 90% light transmission to the I’m making these scopes perform extremely well in low-light conditions especially useful.

When game is most active. All 2018 models are second focal plane which means your sub tension reticle will stay the same size. And is less distracting throughout the magnification range the higher magnification units have exposed elevation turrets. And capped wind age with 80 minutes of adjustment for validation as well as a ballistic stop with metal to metal hard stop. You go back to zero. You can get multiple revolutions out of your elevation. And be confident when you’re back to zero. When dialing elevation like. And repeatability is key. This means if I’m shooting at 500 yards. Ineed to move up five inches to get on target. One minute or four clicks with. This quarter MOA adjustment should give. Me the five inches I need measuring this movement at. This distance lets you know just. How precise these scopes are my test model here is a 6 by 24 by 50. It has a Z MOA one reticle. And is illuminated it has ten different brightness levels of illumination the hash marks in.

This reticle represents 1 MOA spacing at the reestablished power magnification settings which is helpful for long-range shooting and hunting. Each scope in the series offers a vast array of radicals. Most are available and illuminated as well as non illuminated to suit your desires a visit with the zeiss website will show. Each available options the longer range version scopes have side parallax adjustment from 50 yards out to infinity. This is extremely important. When shooting at those further distances they’re. All backed by the Zeiss limited lifetime transferable warranty. And 5-year no fault policy which guarantees you’ve made a good investment in your shooting future. You deliver a scope that’s on a 30 millimeter tube has 90% light transmission multiple revolutions of the turret. And a ballistic stop in tracks like it’s on Rails. All for around a thousand bucks you’ve definitely got a scope for everyone.

And welcome to another review shot here at Optics trade headquarters today we’ll be reviewing size conquest before the model six to 24 by 50 in particular will of course start by finding out. Some features of the series itself. And then we’ll go and talk about. This particular model. Now science is a renowned manufacturer of optics. And they’ve been around for more. Then 150 years so in the field of optics. We can be pretty sure today. They know what they’re doing this year they’ve introduced. This conquest before new series of bind-off rifle scopes at IVA 2018 in Nuremberg. And currently there are four models to choose from. Another product they are introduced is victory rangefinder their new binoculars with an integrated laser rangefinder okay let’s get go back to the conquest before series. And talk a little bit about its predecessors. This is a series that replays. That size conquest DL. And for now the range of rifle scope as regards the magnification range is a little bit narrower the OU series was.

More Europe oriented as concerns the magnification in the v4 series there are two Europe oriented rifle scopes. And two American oriented rifles scopes we’ll have to see. If the American models will sell here in Europe but. We consider the fact. That the European hunters prefer to hang with lower magnifications. Than Americans the 1 to 4 by 24. And 3 to 12 by 56 will sell much better. Then 4 to 16 by 44 and 6 to 24 by 50 for the European market a model with a magnification such as two. And a half to 10 by 50 would be a great addition to the series. And would definitely be popular here. Now with the v4 series size expanded their lineup. And fill up the blank space.

They had around 1000 euros. Now have victory v8 at the very top which is their premium rifle scope then. They have now v4 which costs around 1 Neuros. They have the v6 in between let’s talk about origins of. These riflescopes big of. This riflescope because there’s also a major change here. Now size was always successful in the price class of around 1000 euros the series. That came before conquest before was. Whereas I said conquest dl. And earl these series were made in europe. And were optically very decent for the price with conquest before size has made a major change the series is no longer manufactured in germany but in japan.

You can see here it is written right here so it’s manufactured in Japan but looking through the scope the fact. That it’s made elsewhere. That does not seem to influence the optical quality of. This size some hunters. However might be convinced. That for a price of around 1000 years. And above you should get a German mid-sized rifle scope. We will see in time. This was a good move bite size. Or not in the series as. Isaid there are four models so. We have the twilights. We have the driven hunt specialist so. One two four by 24 the four to sixteen by forty-four which is a model suitable for stalking with magnification is. More suitable for American hunters the same applies to six to 24 by fifty the model. Ihave here which is also American oriented as regards the magnification. And is meant for long range shots. And then the final one is three to twelve by fifty-six which is meant for hunting in low-light conditions today.

We have here the 6 to 24 by 50. And we’re going to talk about the features of the model. And let’s start by let’s start with the property so. It has a four time zoom factor but. This is the is a feature of the entire series. It weighs 640 grams. And measures 36 centimeters in length the field of view is six point three meters at 100 meters at lowest magnification. And the highest magnification the field of view is 16 meters on 100 meters the tube diameter is 30 minutes millimeters just like with the whole series so since the magnification goes. All the way up to 224 the rifle scope has a parallax it’s a parallax adjustment knob here on the left. And the parallax can be set from 50 meters. All the way up to infinity the knob holds the position well but rotating it is also very convenient so the surface here the uneven surface allows.

You to get a fine grip the turrets so let’s start with the wind age turret which is a classic hunting turret covered with a cap. One click equals a quarter MOA which means. One click who’s the point of impact for approximately zero point seven centimeters on. One hundred meters clicks as. You can hear a crisp. They can also be very nicely felt the upper part of the turret is designed so. That the user gets a nice firm grip. That allows an easier rotation resetting it to zero is also simple. You can just pull and align the arrow with dot underneath. And there it is reset to zero. Now the turret is as.

You can see by the looking at. This arrow it is counter clockwise meaning. That rotating the wind age turn counterclockwise will move the point of impact to the right. Now like the 416 by 44 model from the same series from the compass before the 6 to 24 by 50 model also comes with a ballistic turret. They called they call. This turned ballistics of the ASV but looking at. You can see it is not a typical ballistic turret. Where numbers mark specific distances. More tactical turret so talking about its features. It is a multi turn turret. It comes with a turn indicator underneath so there are. These lines which tell. You in which turn you are but the indicator is. You can see it’s not the best out there the lines are so close together. You really have to look close in order to see in which turn. One click the same as with the wind age turret equals 1/4. This is zero point seven centimeters on. One hundred meters one whole rotation equals 20m away. And the turn third allows three turns altogether so there is 60 Moas altogether.

This turtle house 60 mi way of movement. Now let’s talk a little bit about the illumination so the 6 to 24 by 50 is the only model in the series. That can be bought with. Or without illumination there are two radicals to choose from the ZB r 1. And z MOA 1 the model with the ZB r 1 radical comes without illumination with z MOA 1 the user can choose between the model with illumination. And without a Malay illumination the illumination costs 100 euros extra but. It is a welcome addition so let’s see here in the box yes so. This mall here is the. One with Z MOA one radical so. You can also get this model right. We have right here with illumination. Ihave here is without. It the model this small in particular with. That lacks illumination costs. It retails for 1200 euros.

And with elimination. It costs 100 euros it costs 100 1000 300 euros as regards mounting for now size does not offer. This rifle scope with a mounting rail underneath so for now there is only the only option available is mounting it with rings so. This is a — that size will change. This in the future and really hope to see. These rival scopes manufactured with a ZM VM rail underneath. It would be a great addition let’s talk about the scope of deliveries so. You get a rifle scope of course. You also get 10 years of warranty. This cover elastic cover for protection plastic covers for the protection of ocular. And the objective lens get a quick guide a Lance cleaning cloth.

You also get this exactly — with which. You can reset the ballistic. We could say tactical turret back to zero. Now we’ve reached the end of. This short view now it’s time to sum up. And point out the advantages. And disadvantages or with other words. What is great what could still be improved with the 6 to 24 by 50. And the whole series. All together so the great thing is. You get excise for a little bit above 1000 years. You get size rifle scope with size quality. This is definitely great. You get 10 years of warranty the same as with the other. More expensive rifle scopes which is also very welcome then. We also like the price performance ratio so. Though the rifle scope is no longer made in Europe but in Japan the optical quality makes up for the price of. This product so there the price performance ratio is very good. We move on to things. That could be improved is well for some people.

It might be a breaker. This riflescope is made in Japan. Though the optical quality seems equal but. Some hunters really strive to get a German made right. They would expect to get a German made rifle scope German size made rifle scope for a price above 1000 euros so. It might be a deal breaker for them then again the option the lack of choosing a model. That has a rail underneath is also a disadvantage. That could be change in the future. And also it would be better. This came with a actual BC elevation turret instead of the tactical turret. It would be easier to use for hunting and much. Easier to understand for hunters. These are the disadvantages in the advantages. Ipoint out the most important features of. This v4 6 to 24 by 50. You have any additional questions please leave a comment in the comment section below. Is an email you found the video useful we’ll be really happy.

If you’ve subscribed to our YouTube channel thank. You guys for watching and see.

Today we’re going to go over a new line of rifle scopes the new voracity rifle scope Scott versus premium high lumen multi-coated lens coatings on every lens surface it’s a front focal plane optic so the bullet drop compensation works at. Any magnification it’s got our mad knobs which is a zero stop low profile single turn knob. That is completely customizable. You can go to brass optics comm put in your ballistics. And we’ll send you a custom knob for your cartridge your caliber your drop your elevation. Anything you put into the program will calibrate the knob for your front focal plane. We have three different reticles. We have the ballistic plexi. On the ballistic MV. And the SCR special competition reticle. When the five to twenty-five five times zoom. We start off with a two to ten a three to fifteen a four to twenty. And a five to twenty-five. All but the two to ten. Or 50-millimeter objections with a 2 to 10 B. And a 42 millimeter objective 30-millimeter main tube 75 Moas of internal adjustment. More depending on magnification very generous eye relief. All of these reticles are in the front focal plane the front focal planes a new venture for Burton in. Several ways and a new venture into hunting scopes as well — traditionally. Most scopes are in the second focal plane which allows your reticle to stay the same size to your eye but as.

You change your magnification your zoom in zoom out the sub tensions can change on a second focal point so. We wanted to put that in the front focal plane with the popularity of bull drop compensation reticles. It was important that your reticle be accurate at. Any magnification so. If you’re on five power. You can see the tick marks. You can use the two. Or three hundred yards tick mark. You zoomed all the way up into 2025 power the tick marks will correspond to the correct distance at. Any magnification so as you’re walking through the woods looking for your game. You can be on a lower magnification. You get the opportunity to take the shot the bolt drop compensation will line up but say.

You walk out of the woods. And across the canyon. You have a long shot. If you’re at six power. You forget the excitement there’s your animal. You come up your range. It at 300 yards you want to take the 300-yard tick mark. You forget to turn the magnification up to the calibration point. You send it you’re going to shoot over its back so the voracity being in the front focal plane. You can use the 300-yard tick mark on six power eight power ten power. It will correspond for the right distance at. Any magnification
