hunting scope
Long-range aiming glass
A hunting scope is a telescopic sight mounted on a rifle for aiming at game animals.
Hunting scopes typically feature variable magnification, allowing shooters to adjust for distance: I dialed the hunting scope down to 4x for the closer shot.
Distinguished from target or tactical scopes by features optimized for field conditions—wider fields of view, rugged construction, and reticles designed for quick target acquisition rather than precision benchrest shooting.
