Hunting Optics

For everything from mid-range shooting to 2000+meters, Leupold Mark 4 Tactical riflescopes are the top choice of those in harm’s way. Leupold Mark 4 LR/T and ER/T riflescopes are the official day optics of the U.S. Army’s sniper systems. Mark 4 scopes are bing used on the front lines at home and around the globe for everything from M16’s and AR variants, to bolt action rifles and even M-14s operating in Designated Marksman roles. Whatever your mission profile, you can find a Leupold Mark 4 optic that’s an ideal fit.

When I go out into the woods, I want to see all the wildlife I can.  There is something about the primitive aspect of nature that thrills me every time.  I can sit in front of a television set and watch other people enjoying various tasks that make them excited like NASCAR or football, but I would rather have that excitement. 

One of the things I always carry for this purpose is rugged exposure binoculars.  With these I can really catch the action that is going on around me.

I was a bit skeptical when it came to hunting scopes, but my friend Mark was insistent that I at least give it a shot.  He lent me his Leupold rifle scope for my hunting trip.  I told him that I would try it out.  Actually, when I said that, I meant it quite literally.  I would try it out once and then put it securely back in the casing. 

But I’m the first to admit when I am wrong.  That scope did wonders for my shot and after I gave Mark back his scope, I went out and got my own.  It is a miracle worker.

Leupold has never been lazy when it comes to producing great rifle scopes, but their new models are really taking the rifle scope market by storm. Their VX-III is definitely a scope that is more than worth checking out, even by Leupold standards. Actually, the VX-III replaced the old Vari-XIII line of Leupold rifle scopes and for awhile it had more than one shooting fan upset at the thought that their old favorite was being replaced.

Testing of the new Leupold scopes revealed that these scopes were more than just show, especially with the VX-III. A lot of changes, some of them major, had been made to improve this already impressive riflescope. Just a few of these changes included finger adjustable turrets that are much easier to use. An improved light transmission and an ocular lens with a focus that is much faster than the old model is another real up grade improvement. That’s not all though, there’s more! Other optional features such as a new Ballistic Aiming System reticle and a side-focus parallax adjustment. For many hunters, the Ballistic Aiming System available on some models was well worth the replacement just for that one single feature. This handy little item allows for the windage to be corrected while you’re working in a crosswind.

Whether you’re hunting for large or small game Leupold scopes has a perfect riflescope for your hunting needs. Find a full line of Leupold riflescopes at Buyritescopes.com.

Big game and varamint hunters will appreciate the accuracy of the VX-III Ballistics Aiming System provides a long distance

After mounting a scope to your favorite rifle the next most important step before heading out on the long awaited hunting trip is to spend some time at the shooting range and get accustomed to how you shoot with your new scope.

Purchase some inexpensive ammunition for practice shooting and then some high-quality cartridges when you are ready for some serious target work. Once you are comfortable with the accuracy from the shooting bench it is time to take the next step in your practice shooting.

Many guys are crack shots at a shooting bench then miss their target when in the field. You need to practice at the shooting range the same way you would hunt. Practice shooting from a sitting position and also from a standing position just as you might do when you spot that critter you are after.

Choosing a quality dependable scope is the first important step and my favorite is Leupold for quality and affordability. But after you have chosen the scope that is right for you, spend some time shooting at the range so this year’s hunt will be the best one yet.
