Rifle Scope Reviews

Looking for new rifle scopes can be fun; however by the time it is over with “fun” usually isn’t the word used to describe the hours of researching, comparing, and deliberating that go into making an informed choice. Rifle Scope Spy was started to put the fun back in selecting rifle scopes, because investing in new hunting gear shouldn’t feel like work. Below are some of the ways you can save time when looking for your next rifle scope. Update: Check out our new Best Rifle Scope page.

Rifle Scope Reviews – Rifle scope reviews are made up of three parts. First, there is a review section that is a summary of themes learned from useful user reviews about that particular scope. Second, is a key information box that contains photos of the scope being reviewed along with a list of available configurations, competition, key features, and availability information. Finally, a notes section at the end provides the pros and cons of that particular model.

Rifle Scope Comparisons – One of the most important things to do when selecting a rifle scope is to look at its technical specifications to make sure that it meets your criteria for weight, field of view, eye relief …etc. Rifle Scope Spy has compiled numerous side by side rifle scope comparison charts of popular models according to magnification range.  On these charts you can quickly see a scope’s key technical information and compare it to other scopes in the same class. Rifle scopes are also grouped by price range so you can make a more apples to apples comparison between scopes.
