A riflescope is an optical sighting device that provides magnification to improve aiming accuracy at a distance. It works by using lenses to magnify the view and an adjustable reticle to help aim.

MOA (Minute of Angle) and MRAD (Milliradian) are units of angular measurement used for adjusting windage and elevation. MOA is commonly used in the U.S., while MRAD is preferred by some shooters for its metric compatibility.

The first two numbers (3-9x) indicate the scope’s variable magnification range—from 3x to 9x zoom. The last number (40) is the objective lens diameter in millimeters, affecting light transmission and field of view.

Illuminated reticles improve visibility in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or heavily shaded areas, enhancing target acquisition.

Reticle choice depends on preference and purpose. Simple crosshairs are great for hunting, while BDC (Bullet Drop Compensator) or Mil-Dot reticles are better for long-range and tactical shooting.

High-quality riflescopes are usually waterproof or at least water-resistant. Look for models with an IPX rating or nitrogen-purged internals to ensure performance in wet conditions.

Yes, low-light scopes have larger objective lenses (50mm or more) and high-quality glass for maximum light transmission. Some scopes also have illuminated reticles to help in these conditions.

In a first focal plane (FFP) scope, the reticle size changes with magnification, helping with range estimations at any zoom level. In a second focal plane (SFP) scope, the reticle remains the same size, ideal for consistent visibility.

While larger objective lenses (like 50mm or 56mm) allow more light in, they also add weight and may require higher mounting rings. Consider your shooting needs before opting for a larger lens.

Parallax adjustment aligns the reticle with the target at various distances, helping eliminate the slight reticle shift that can happen at longer ranges, enhancing accuracy.

Shooting range depends on the scope’s magnification and the shooter’s skill. For example, 3-9x scopes are ideal up to around 500 yards, while higher magnifications (e.g., 12-24x) are suited for long-range shooting beyond 1,000 yards.

Yes, mounts should match your scope’s tube diameter (e.g., 30mm or 1 inch) and the firearm. Selecting the right mount ensures stability and helps maintain zero.

Eye relief is the distance between your eye and the scope lens where you can see a full image. Longer eye relief is safer, especially for high-recoil rifles, to avoid "scope bite."

Yes, but you may need to choose a versatile scope with variable magnification, like 4-16x. Some features (like BDC reticles) are better for longer ranges, while simpler reticles may work best for hunting.

A zero-stop feature lets you return the scope to a preset zero point easily, especially useful in tactical or competitive shooting to quickly adjust back after dialing in elevation.

Start by securing your rifle and firing at a known distance. Adjust windage and elevation settings until the point of impact aligns with the reticle's point of aim. Repeat this process to confirm zero.

Fog-proof scopes are typically nitrogen- or argon-purged to prevent internal fogging caused by temperature changes or humidity, ensuring a clear view in varied weather.

Yes, but be prepared to re-zero the scope each time it’s mounted on a different rifle. Some quick-detach mounts help preserve zero across multiple rifles if the scope is compatible.

Yes, many tactical scopes are designed for AR-15s with features like bullet drop compensation and low-power variable optics (LPVOs) for quick target acquisition at close to mid-range.

With proper care, a quality riflescope can last decades. Regularly clean lenses, protect it from extreme impacts, and store in a dry place to maintain longevity. Most brands offer warranties to cover manufacturing defects.
