1. Most rifle scope brands offer superb construction and state-of-the-art optics. The key in choosing is to research which features most closely meet your needs. The most popular brands include Bushnell scopes, Leupold scopes, Nikon scopes, and Burris scopes.
2. A red dot sight reduces distortion and aid with depth perception. Red dot sights also allow for a larger field of view, as the target can be pinpointed without the use of magnification.
3. Because of their specific coiling, air rifles have different scope needs than traditional rifles. Be sure to know which rifle scope is appropriate for your gun size, type, and model.
4. Night-vision scopes allow for superb accuracy and view quality in any light condition. Some scope models can be changed from day to night vision with the simple flip of a switch.
5. Holosights are heavier and slightly more expensive than red dot sights, but they offer a totally unique 3-D reticle image. The added benefit of this feature will be worth any added cost or weight.
