Recommendation: Ideal riflescope for hunting - especially stalking and mountain hunting

This means that a cheap GlassIn addition to the coating of optics, the glass quality or type of glass is one of the most important quality factors for binoculars and riflescopes " More info for the less affluent customer and the expensive for the financially strong customer. In a broader sense, this leads to Brand management perspective to a kind of "club compulsion" and many are saving up for a premium product and have to make sacrifices on other very important issues such as the Save on ZF assembly (a big mistake).

• Highest possible RemunerationWith the help of a simple coating, this loss of light transmission (transmission loss) is reduced to 1.5%, for example. This already increases the amount of light that reaches your eyes to around 80%. " More info and light transmissions above 95%
• Parallax adjustment is standard
• Light pointThe choice of reticle and the associated mode of operation of the illuminated dot is of decisive importance when purchasing. " More info is standard
• From Gen 3 - Zerostop for ASV

What generally makes a good stalking riflescope?

• The telescopic sight LensesThe use of aspherical lenses leads to a reduction in the overall length of the binoculars and in some cases to a significant reduction in weight. " More info:
  - The quality of the RemunerationIf light hits a glass-air surface (e.g. with a roof prism), the reflection causes a loss of light. " More info (=anti-reflective coating) and the lenses
  - The Light transmissionLight transmission is the ability of optical glass or optical systems to "let through" as many light rays as possible. " More info (=brightness in the field of view) between 95 and 97%
  - The Edge sharpnessFor technical reasons, image sharpness decreases from the centre of the image to the edge with every lens (due to the shape of the lens). " More info (=image at the edge of the field of view)
  - The option to adjust the sharpness of the lenses (ParallaxIf a shooter does not look "straight" but "diagonally" through the telescopic sight eyepiece, an aiming error occurs - the so-called parallax. " More info adjustment)
• The riflescope reticle:
  - With and without lighting (helps with TwilightFor night glasses, which are ideal for sitting game and as sow glasses, the light intensity is the most important feature. " More info)
• The scope adjustment:
  - Left-right and height adjustment not too rough
  - Repeatability must be guaranteed
  - Robustness against shocks and shots
  - Quick and easy

The ideal riflescope for fascinating stalking and mountain hunting

The Stalking and mountain hunting have very similar requirements for a riflescope. It should be as Small and light be. Twilight performanceIn order to be able to recognise details over long distances even in twilight, binoculars with high magnification and corresponding twilight performance (e.g. 10x56 or 8x56) are recommended. " More info is no longer of such enormous importance because, firstly, you can no longer see much and the Danger in open terrain in the dark increases.

When it comes to weight, all manufacturers now rely on Lightweight materials are used. The days of heavy steel housings etc. are over. Only large glass lenses increase the weight and dimensions - which brings us back to the subject.

For these types of hunting, the size should be kept as small as possible.

With the Mountain hunting means that because of the long shooting distances a variable scope with max. 50 mm Lens diameterThe larger the lens diameter, the more light can be absorbed by the lens of the optical system. Glass purity plays a major role. " More info to choose. The zoom factor is left to personal preference. For one hunter, a 2.5-15x is enough. Another hunter does not want to carry the spotting scope around with him all the time and chooses a 5-30x.

With the pure stalking with shots at short distances a riflescope with a maximum objective lens diameter of 42 mm is generally chosen. Due to the short distances, a EnlargementThe magnification of a binocular model is perhaps the most misunderstood feature. High magnification can be useful! " More info up to 6x or 8x are completely sufficient. The advantage of these small scopes is that they are really no longer bulky.

ZF ComparisonDifference and comparison between Porro prisms and roof prisms The design of binoculars is always determined by the type of prism used. Porro prism in binoculars Binoculars with a porro prism design can be recognised by their relatively low height and wide design. Advantage: The greater distance between the two lenses promotes spatial vision. A graphic illustration and further details on the design of porro prisms can be found here!
