Factors to Consider when Choosing the Best Barska Rifle Scope

It is a common practice for many people to choose a product they want to buy depending on its price. Some people believe that the cheapest product is the best while others believe the most expensive product is the best.

When choosing the best rifle scope to acquire, the price of the product is not a comprehensive determinant of the quality of the product. There are other factors that play a key role when determining the worthiness of the rifle scope.

Some of these factors include:

Internal adjustment range: This refers to the extent to which the elevation turret’s internal range can be adjusted. The more internal range your scope has, the further you can shoot accurately depending on the caliber of your rifle.

First Focal Plane (FFP) Options: An FFP scope rearranges the reticle lenses and the target lenses of the optical system in a way that both are affected in the same way by magnification. Although FFP scopes are more expensive than other scopes, the technology they use makes them more accurate.

Tube Diameter: The size of the tube determines the weight of the scope. However, the larger the tube the more room there is for more components in the scope which translates to better management of light. Larger scopes will be heavier but will give better imagery.

Understanding the ‘Exit Pupil’: The ‘exit pupil’ is the ratio of the lens diameter and the magnification of the lens. It is the main determinant of how the eyes react to low illumination scenarios. The ‘exit pupil’ has to be kept at more than 4 mm when being used in low illumination scenarios.

Parallax correction: Parallax represents a complicated issue when it comes to optics and can cause a variation of the point of impact. Scopes that are equipped with a parallax adjusting mechanisms are best suited for use. Avoid acquiring scopes that deem it not necessary to correct parallax errors.

Familiarize yourself with your scope and get to know the functions of each part.

Determine the eye relief that your rifle scope offers.

Eye relief refers to the distance from your eye to the lens. The higher the power of your lens, the lower the eye relief. Determining the eye relief enables you to know where to put your eye to get the best image.

Adjust your scope based on the impact of rounds fired.

Consistency is key when firing rounds and an assessment can be made on the accuracy of the rifle scope. If the rounds do not hit the target consistently, you need to adjust the windage.

Adjust parallax if the need arises

Some rifle scopes have a parallax adjusting mechanism. Parallax refers to the movement of the target in reference to the image displayed on your lens when you move your eye from the center of the lens.
