Different hunting environments call for different optical features.

Compare available equipment by optical performance, magnification, durability, and intended application to find an option suited to your hunting conditions.
Rifle Scopes, Rangefinders, and Hunting Optics
Rifle scopes provide magnified sight pictures for aiming at appropriate distances. When comparing scopes, consider magnification range, objective lens diameter, reticle design, adjustment features, and weather resistance. A scope that offers a clear image and practical magnification for your typical hunting distances may be more useful than one with higher magnification you rarely need.
Hunting rangefinders help measure the distance to objects and targets, making them useful for scouting, range practice, and planning an ethical shot. Depending on the model, features may include angle-compensated measurements, multiple target modes, illuminated displays, and weather-resistant housings. Consider the unit's effective ranging capability, readability, and ease of operation when selecting equipment for regular field use.
For observing wildlife and surveying terrain, binoculars and spotting scopes provide alternatives to rifle-mounted optics. Browse our binoculars and spotting scopes selection for equipment suited to general observation, scouting, and viewing distant objects.
Choose Hunting Optics for Your Conditions
When selecting hunting optics, consider where and how you hunt before comparing individual specifications. Optical clarity, field of view, manageable weight, and dependable construction are important for equipment carried through changing weather and terrain. Rangefinders should also offer controls and displays that remain practical when wearing gloves or working in low light.
Brand-specific comparisons can help narrow your options once you know which type of optic you need. Our best Athlon optics for hunting guide examines selected Athlon binoculars, spotting scopes, and rifle scopes and explains which applications they are best suited for.
