Rifle scopes for mid-range shooting

(33 products)

This collection contains rifle scopes for medium distances. There are two main groups:

  • Low power variable optics with a large zoom range, such as 1-8x24 and 1-10x24. They start at 1x for close targets and reach 8x or 10x.
  • Classic hunting and target scopes, such as 2-7x32, 3-9x40, 3-12x44, 2-12x50 and 4-12x40. A 40 to 50 mm objective lens gives a brighter image in poor light.

The collection also contains scopes with fixed magnification, such as the Veyron 10x44 and the Veyron Plus 10x30. Most scopes come from Vector Optics, from the Constantine, Continental, Forester, Hugo, Matiz and Veyron series. Two scopes come from Firefield. Veyron scopes are compact and shorter than standard scopes.

Reading the title

The numbers in the title give the magnification and the objective lens. A 1-6x24 scope zooms from 1x to 6x and has a 24 mm objective lens. A larger objective lets in more light but makes the scope bigger. FFP means first focal plane: the reticle grows with the magnification, so its marks stay correct at every setting. SFP means second focal plane: the reticle keeps the same size, and its marks are exact at one magnification only. "Fiber" or "i" in the title marks an illuminated reticle.

Tube diameter and rings

The product description gives the main tube diameter, most often 30 mm, sometimes 1 inch (25.4 mm) or 34 mm. Your scope rings must match it. See Scope rings by diameter.

Click value, eye relief and parallax

  • Click value: how far one click of the turret moves the point of impact. 1/4 MOA moves it about 7 mm at 100 m, 1/2 MOA about 15 mm and 1/10 MIL 10 mm. Choose MOA or MIL to match the marks of the reticle.
  • Eye relief: the distance between your eye and the eyepiece. A longer eye relief keeps the scope away from your eye under recoil.
  • Parallax: a fixed parallax setting gives a sharp image without parallax at one distance. A side focus turret lets you set the parallax for each distance.

The Hugo, the Matiz 4-12x40, the Veyron models and the Continental x6 2-12x44 have a side focus turret. The Continental 1.5-9x42, the Continental x6 2-12x44 models and the Continental x10 1-10x28 have a zero stop, so the elevation turret returns to your zero without counting clicks.

For other distances, see Rifle scopes for short-range shooting and Rifle scopes for long-range shooting.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose FFP or SFP?

FFP if you use the reticle marks to hold over or measure at different magnifications. SFP if you mostly aim with the center of the reticle.

MOA or MIL turrets?

Choose the same unit as the marks of your reticle. Then one click and one reticle mark speak the same language.
