Gun Scopes, Optics, Rifle Scopes, Binoculars, and Other Discount Sights for Hunting and Shooting

As the human eyes are not designed for long distance sight, an essential piece of equipment for any hunter is a quality pair of binoculars. In addition, most hunters today also install scopes on their rifles in order to get a better look at what they are shooting. However, in addition to these important hunting optics, a spotting scope is a crucial part of any hunter's gear as well. At Hunting Fishing Camping Gear, we sell a variety of binoculars, hunting telescopes, and spotting scopes from the top manufactures.

Since keeping your scope attached securely to your riffle is nearly as important as the scope you buy, we also carry a wide selection of scope rings, bases, and base and ring combos. With our quality line of scopes and optics as well as our many scope bases and rings available to buy online at discount prices, you are sure to find just what every hunter needs to keep their game in sight and get the best shot.

Spotting Scopes

While spotting scopes are available in a variety of magnifications, they are generally more powerful than a pair of binoculars. Spotting scopes are used to locate game at greater distances as well as to determine the distance between you and the animal and the size of the animal. Using a spotting scope for hunting allows you to see a clear view of your target prior to shooting.

When buying a spotting scope, you will have the choice between either a fixed-power magnification scope or a variable-power scope. Fixed-power scopes are permanently set at a given magnification. The most common magnifications of fixed-power spotting scopes are 20x, 30x, and 45x. Variable-power magnification spotting scopes are most often found in 15-45x, 18-36x, or 20-60x magnifications.

Another number to consider if you are going to buy a scope, is the objective lens size. The objective lens is the lens of a scope, which faces toward the target. The objective lens diameter is provided in millimeters. The objective lenses of spotting scopes commonly range in size from 50mm to 80mm in diameter. Therefore, the Bushnell Imageview 15-45x50mm Spotting Scope has a variable magnification from 15 to 45. In addition, the objective lens on this spotting scope is 50 millimeters in diameter.

Most spotting scopes can easily be mounted onto a basic camera tripod. Some scopes sold online at Hunting Fishing Camping Geareven come with their own tripod such as the Sentry Spotting Scope by Bushnell.

Scopes

Many rifles come with basic iron sights when purchased. However, with the technology today, most hunters and shooters prefer to purchase a quality scope to mount on their rifle. The magnification available today allows a hunter to see exactly at what they are shooting and achieve more accurate shot placement.

Scopes generally work in the same way as a spotting scope. However, they tend to come in lower power magnifications to allow for a greater field of view. On our website, you can buy scopes online at discount prices from the following manufactures:

• Aimpoint
• Barnett
• Burris
• Bushnell
• Leupold
• Nikon
• Sightron
• Swarovski
• Weaver

Scope Rings and Bases

After purchasing your ideal scope to mount on your rifle for hunting, it is important to buy the proper bases and rings with which to mount your scope. The objective when buying bases and rings is to keep the scope as close to the rifle barrel as possible. In addition, based on the amount of recoil from your rifle, your bases and rings may have to be made of a studier material.

Bases are often made of aluminum and steel. Weaver bases are well known for their reputation as sturdy steel bases that can withstand much abuse from recoil. Rings come in variety of styles with the conventional horizontal split, such as the Leupold Cross Slot Rings, being the most popular. Often you can find a base and ring combo that will fit your particular rifle and scope combination. We sell a variety of base and ring combs to keep your scope securely fastened to your rifle when hunting and shooting.

Rangefinders

Rangefinders allow hunters to determine the exact distance that lies between them and their targets. One unique feature, which can be found on several rangefinders sold today, is scan mode. Scan mode is useful to a hunter because it will scan for moving objects in the distance and follow these objects. One rangefinder that we sell which offers scan mode is the Bushnell Medalist. At Hunting Fishing Camping Gear, we sell a number of quality rangefinders from many other premium manufactures at low prices, so feel free to browse our selection.
