5 Best Long Range Scope ~ Article & Video

Best Long Range Scope
Best Long Range Scope

L.P. Brezny

USA –  -(Ammoland.com)- Author L.P. Brezny literally wrote the book on Long Range Shooting, now in its Second Edition.

In this quick article, Loyal makes the case for his five best long range scopes. Let me say right off that in the business of long range shooting the old standard 3X9 whitetail scope becomes history when we talk about the best long range scopes.

When range is extended much beyond say 400 yards the whole game changes, and as such some very different glass sights are regarded as very necessary.

What the long range rifle scope is, for the most part, is a general advancement of optics quality, internal parts ( turret springs and retaining systems,) and an increase in magnification, as well as some very different and exact reticle systems, that in most cases are etched directly into the optics glass. ( Horus, and Schmidt Bender by example .)

The best long range scopes optic needs to retain a core system so as to elevate to some massively long ranges (1 ½ miles.) by example. This means a turret system that is large in ring size and retains more than enough M.O.A. or Mil graduations so as to allow elevation to hit a target at ultra long range.

When suggesting what I call the five best long range scopes the first consideration is operational quality. In this area price is always higher than your standard hunting optic. Based on the elements just reviewed above, the long range optic selected for the target, hunting, or military applications just can’t be embracing any short cuts regarding materials or construction.

Therefore based on this criteria these are my choices in best long range scopes that will carry the mail down range.

First of all, I will begin by saying that if I had unlimited resources all the best long range scopes I own would be based on military ( mil specs ). Staying in this bracket, however, would drain the bank account and I would be eating beans seven days a week. That stated my number one scope system, and the one that sits atop my Armalite M-30 A-1 300 Win mag is a Steiner M5Xi Military 5-25×56 Rifle Scope application, a sniper scope system.

With ultra long range milrad settings on this scope our South Dakota grass rats are turned into red mist out to 1000+ yards all day long. This little long distance glass sight system runs up on the credit card to about $3,700 MSRP retail, but it is designed to save a snipers life when return fire is a strong possibility. In terms of an operators needs, price is no object at all.

Leupold Mark 4 ER/T Riflescope

Leupold Mark 4 ER/T Riflescope

While the first scope reviewed here used a Schmidt Bender long range reticle in military grade, the second scope that is in effect mounted on my Kimber turn bolt 7.62X51,308 sniper rifle makes use of the standard moa turret settings and a “loaded” turret that can crank additional elevation for almost ever. The scope. Leupold’s M-4 the proven battle tested glass sight found on one pile of M-10 7.62X51’s in the sand box across the pond. Currently in the Leupold’s Mark 4 ER/T Riflescope has a MSRP of $3000.00 and change, but with an internet search you can take this glass sight system home for under $2990.00 and less.

Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24×50 Riflescope with VMR-1 Reticle (MRAD)

Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50 Riflescope with VMR-1 Reticle (MRAD)
Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24×50 Riflescope with VMR-1 Reticle (MRAD)

There is good news in this area of advanced best of the best long range scopes systems. Vortex, a newer scope company has broken the reticle glass sealing by introducing long range designed scopes for under $1000.00, and in some cases much less. As applied to my Ruger Precision chassis 6.5 Creedmoor, is a Vortex Viper with a milrad reticle, and combined turret using moa adjustments for additional precision accuracy.

After a full year reviewing the Vortex I can say with confidence that the system works very well when being subjected to coyote forays, long range steel shooting at over 100 degrees F (Gun Sight AZ,) and in general the normal abuse a field rifle is subjected too quit often.

The price of the Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24×50 Riflescope with VMR-1 Reticle (MRAD) with a glass and aircraft aluminum tube system comes in at $640.00, or about the same prices as a better quality whitetail optic.

NightForce C507 5.5-22×56 NXS Riflescope

NightForce C507 5.5-22x56 NXS Riflescope
NightForce C507 5.5-22×56 NXS Riflescope

When searching out the best long range scope my final selections cover two more of what I like to call ATAT systems. Nightforce, the logo on almost all sniper filmed shooting sequences being observed slightly through camo paint or in your face black and white, is with question a bench mark product in long range applications. The NightForce C507 5.5-22×56 NXS Riflescope was a primary go to optic when shooting test loads for the new Hornady ELD-X bullets to 1300 yards near Grand Island NB, the home base of Hornady, and the Charlie Sisk shooting school at Gun Sight AZ during the early summer of 2015.

In both cases when I pulled off the Nightforce glass and switched out rifles my scores dropped. Enough said regarding that matter it would seem.

Pricing on the Nightforce is competitive with others at $2000.00.

Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25×56 Rifle Scope

Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25x56 Rifle Scope : 5 Best Long Range Scopes
Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25×56 Rifle Scope

As the final optic selected as the best of the best it comes down to the folks at Schmidt Bender and their outstanding PM II. This Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25×56 Rifle Scope 4-P 0T system that is military grade all the way. Installed with their own reticle of a milrad projection, or the Horus Milrad Christmas tree, and you have a world class long range system.

Pricing on this optic will run high at $3,799,00, but if you a professional bad guy hunter, or need a bloody end gate on the pickup truck to prove success to clients, this is just the cost of doing business.

While some will argue that picking the Best Long Range Scopes may be subject to personal choice, the five listed above are rock solid long-range optics and well worth the investment by serious operators or hunters.

Oldmarine >>> Kemer
The one with the bad mouth is YOU. you are what most people would call a POS.
You have to be a democrat and people need to take a serious look at you . for every action there is a reaction so iyou need to be very careful in what you say. Oldmarine “still old but very mean”

Georgiaoutlaw

Kemer u can kiss my white ass and ur wrong I’m not even close to 60 yet who the hell u think u are u don’t even know me but I wish I knew you because I’d stop ur smartass mouth and probably ur heart to sir u suck and I hope everyone on this post feels same bout u as I do please shut the f?ck up asshole

Georgiaoutlaw

I’ve never bought or even used the likes of a chinese knock off leupold but I’m considering buying one just to c for myself I’ve read some pretty good reviews at campfire making me think what tha heck it’s less $100 bucks for a squirrel rifle to try it on what u guys think

Georgiaoutlaw

I’ve shot whitetail deer more than once over the years over 300yds running up and down roads within our hunting club and running across open fields with one shot that don’t make me Great but it’s real good for the area we hunted in at that time maybe 30yrs ago

Georgiaoutlaw

A browning safari 3006 with 80gr Federal hunting cartridges have Nikon prostaff5 2.5-10-50 on ruger308 also shoots Federal but in the 150gr

Georgiaoutlaw

That’s browning safari 180gr Federal in 3006 & a Ruger 308 shoots 150gr Federal 2 super great deer combinations

Georgiaoutlaw

High dollars aren’t needed to hit paper targets get a 308 bolt action a descent rifle scope Bushnell and Nikon fits the bill save ur money shooting paper to me is stuuuuPid lol cause u really can’t eat paper unless ur a goat and they eat good to

Kcshooter

Listen, moron, I guess nobody has ever told you this, but by society’s standard, you’re retarded. Full on “rainman” level retarded.
You’re welcome.
Please take this opportunity to shut up.

Georgiaoutlaw

Sir I wish I knew.u I would personally ask u kindly to kiss my ass

Georgiaoutlaw

What’s ur rainman comment for u fucking idiot

Georgiaoutlaw

I just get on here tell u what I like and what I don’t if u don’t like the same as I u call me stupid I’m doing the same thing y’all are doing on this site I’m a hunter and shoot pretty well u guys are shooters the way we grew up u shoot what u was gonna eat and didn’t waste Ammo on what u don’t that’s why I made the goat comment I’m not retarded not even stupid a little crazy sometimes but I’m normal as u just our likes are different have a good day

Georgiaoutlaw

Listen u say retarded because I don’t care for Leupold I can search and get just as good for my needs for less dollars spent that’s not retarded that’s saving dollars and that’s smart after nearly a decade of obama don’t even get me ther terrible potus

Oldmarine

Oldmarine >>>Georgiaoutlaw
I agree with you on Leopold scopes. I have had very bad experiences with them. I find that they have a major problem with the reticle mounting. The worst problem I had is when I could not zero a Leopold scope, all over the target.. I tried dry firing and noticed that the reticle jumped almost 5 MOA when the hammer dropped. I”ve had other problems with the Leopold scopes and just don’t trust them any more.

Wild Bill

@Kcshooter, GO is not really a moron. He just writes that way because it is convenient for him. And he is at a certain stage of his shooting career. He probably has not been exposed to long distance shooting, so that the things that are just the norm for you are foreign to him. Or he is being financially responsible. We all have to live within our means, and family does come first. And aren’t those laudable concepts. Whatever difference that the both of you may have… they are inconsequential. You probably both voted the same way in the last… Read more »

Georgiaoutlaw

That’s all correct I think. Long distance for us a 300yd shot at a deer going across our lower line in our hunting club. A pretty good shot also.im not mad at anyone on this forum,I just do things that’s convenient to me and what I do. Thanks guys

Wild Bill

@GO, Actually, high dollars are needed to hit paper, at the distances that KC contemplates. Nor would he use a .308 at those distances. I am sure that you are aware that paper targets, or more properly steel targets, are not practice for deer. As to KC, he is always grumpy. He may be old and have the aches and pains that accompany old age or have that “I don’t take no shit from anyone mentality that is so prevalent in the cyber world, but in spite of his lack of diplomatic skills, he does write some things worth reading… Read more »

Georgiaoutlaw

So true I would love to see HRC go away for a long time maybe they can figure a way to send bill with her and gs money will keep him free I’m sure

USA MADE

The main point that people miss when comparing long range scopes is where they are made! The only one on the list that is worth buying is the leupold as it is made in America by an American company. Leupold scopes are built as well if not better than the foreign scopes you talk about.think I’m wrong? Just ask a marine or army sniper, and remember the next time your hungry because you have no job you can try to eat your foreign made scope. Good luck

Mike

Sorry to burst your bubble but Leupold uses Japanese glass and some parts, it is assembled here in the states though. the only company that makes there own scopes including they’re own glass is U.S. Optics.

Georgiaoutlaw

Just my 2 cents on leupold and owning a entry level 3-9-50 rifleman that was the worst rifle scope I ever owned and I’ve shot tasco Simmons Bushnell Nikon their monarchs and all but I’m old skool wen the turrets are free turning ther wore out and how uno wen they are really worn out – rifleman- POS by leupold some like them some don’t I don’t nuff said

Kcshooter

Leupold. Worst scope ever. Yeah, sure, you owned one. Totally believable.
Tard

Georgiaoutlaw

I have Leupold rifle scopes not a problem I just don’t like them as some do all the brands have excellent rifle scopes u just have to be sure to research and purchase what u want and need

Georgiaoutlaw

A cheap ass 3-9-50 rifleman got rid of it now got a leupold freedom 3-9-50 until it proves me wrong my 3-9-50 Bushnell Legend Ultra hd 3-9-50 is the best

Georgiaoutlaw

You suck sir u don’t have any idea what I have and hunt with or shoot please be quiet

Georgiaoutlaw

So made in USA is a lie ther no better than several of the other brands of rifle scopes I suppose

Georgiaoutlaw

So made in USA is a lie ther no better than several of the other brands of rifle scopes I suppose forgive me if I’m wrong

Thank you for ur service I think may be due to u sir but u comment on leupold I tell u the truth about leupold they have good customer service but Bushnell does also I have a legend ultra hd 3-9-50 on one of my hunting rifles so far it proves to be my best hunting scope I have several Nikon prostaffs a prostaff5 couple old Buckmasters and buckmasters2 it’s average only it has Nikon lifetime warranty got some Bushnell elites but my favorite always comes back to the Bushnell Legend Ultra hd that scope always stays wer u put… Read more »

The Leupold rifleman is a solid POS made by the blessed leupold company u can get the same warranty on just as good maybe even better leupold is a lot of name not the quality they built ther selves on the rifleman is really a complete POS had one got rid of it fast as I could got a 3-9-50 Leupold freedom to replace it got to have turrets that u can feel ther working not the darn friction turrets what kinda s?;t is that.

How many hillbillies does it take to miss the point? ALL OF THEM. Thanks for a concise and well thought article. I do think an quick discussion of SFP and FFP would be helpful to those just considering an LR scope. However, if you’re considering these scopes as options, then you probably have a grip on FFP/SFP. Not sure how all this swerved into deer country or “why don’t you think about the common man?” Shit, just to shoot LR in Virginia, I have to travel to a private range, 1:45 away from home and pay $200/year to maintain a… Read more »

I’m a pretty damn good deer hunter my family has done for close to 2centurys and we have thousand dollar rifles but but most of us don’t have to hit man size targets to hit and kill a deer I don’t understand ur point explain if u dare to

Joseph Comfort

“If you dare to…” Not sure what kind of comment that is. The point is my friend, that deer hunting at ethical hunting ranges (by my definition: as close as you can call or conceal yourself and draw game in to your kill-box) and long-range target shooting are completely different disciplines. And, thereby, they require different skill sets and may require different equipment. I agree with you! A 1Km rifle is not as important as woodsman skills in hunting… and no one every took a .30-30 to the Bisley. Though I COULD hit a deer at 1000 yards with my… Read more »

Georgiaoutlaw

Exactly my point don’t have to hit 1000yd targets in a hunting situation all the time

Georgiaoutlaw

Ur kinda stupid with that comment don’t need to talk to you

Kcshooter

In which reality is someone stupider than you?

Georgiaoutlaw

And my low price Bushnell legend will compete with any u have at the usual deer range from 50 to 350yds if that’s not much for u I’m proud of u but again we are deer hunters not paper target shooters sorry for you

Georgiaoutlaw

Hoorays for u Joseph hope u shoot well with ur new set up

Georgiaoutlaw

Old marine sir no disrespect of ur service at all but wen I deer hunt and rarely get presented a 300yd shot but wen I do I want be able to make it

Wild Bill

@Go, I’m sure that you don’t confine yourself to shooting when you are hunting. You must check your equipment, and practice with your rifle and scope. So don’t you ever put a beer can or an orange down in front of a stump or other backstop, and move back 400 yards, just to see how you do? And when 400 yards is no longer a challenge, maybe move back to 500 yards? At some point you get so good at it that you out grow your rifle and scope system. Then you want something better? Maybe?

Georgiaoutlaw

Makes sense

Oldmarine

Long Range Shooting (Over 600 yards) is an extra skill. If you can shoot good at 1000+ yards then less than 600 yards is much easier. The purpose of target shooting is to develop ONE of the important skills required to become sniper qualified. Long range skills are required by practice on targets at extreme and unknown ranges. If you do not have this skill then you are limited to shorter ranges. Long range shooting is basically for combative use but can be used in hunting. ( go to UTUBE and you can see 1000+ yard deer kills using Shepherd… Read more »

Nope seriously to us that’s wasting Ammo I’d rather just sight my rifles in at 1.5 to 2” high at 100yds that will get it done to 300yds with little effort shooting and killing deer isn’t that hard just ur scouting with other techniques are all is needed and ur shooting skills and I’ve grown up hunting fishing that’s my life

Georgiaoutlaw

All you fancy fancy guys out ther shooting just to hear the rifle make noise I’ll put my 3-9-50 bushnell legend ultra hd rifle scope up against any thing you have I’m a deer hunter and upto 300yds my guns are deadly accurate

Oldmarine

Oldmarine to Georgiaoutlaw I thought this was supposed to be a discussion about long range scopes. When I went thru USMC Boot Camp in 1953 we all had to qualify up to 500 yards with iron sights “NO SCOPES” . I admit that a scope helps but to need one at 300 yards or less seems to me kind of fluffy. I always think of “LONG RANGE” as 600 yards or more. Alaskan hunters do a lot of hunting at ranges more than 300 yards and probably for more than just deer.. military Snipers routinely make shots between 800 and… Read more »

First let me say I am new to this but I thought that for Long Range shooting there was a preference of FFP scopes versus SFP scopes. I like the Vortex you listed but I was wondering if you could clarify? Thanks

Sig makes some really nice optics , and scopes . I bought a 3x9x40 for under 2 bills and it’s is well built, crisp sight pic, and durable, not to mention the second kinda cool look . . 3 to 4 k for a scope is a little obscene for most of us .

@Reach, Sometimes a $200 item is a better use of money than buying the best of the best. Gunrunner’s Sig scope is good enough for now, and in the twenty years that you posit, even the best of the best and most expensive of the most expensive won’t compare well with what the optics companies are going to come out with. For example: I have a Voigtlander. In 1919, it was the best of the best. Now, a hundred dollar scope has better glass and components than what was the “best of the best”. Just saying.

Oldmarine

Hey Wild Bill …. Did you ever see or use a Shepard Scope. Can only be ordered from the company and is made for your Rifle and the Ammo you Use. Used mostly by Big Game hunters and as rugged as they come. Average price is around $800 to $900. I

@OM, I still have a Shepard on a .22, but the one that was on my .257 Wby did not stand up to the recoil. The windage erector would not hold. Now, I have a Vortex Viper on my .257 Wby.

@Reach, Unless one makes and polishes the glass , one is not going to be an expert on the optics. I know that I am not an expert. I have looked through scopes from Voigtlander to Huskemaw, but the best that I can say is that I prefer one model and brand of scope for one purpose over some other brand and model of scope for that same purpose. For some other purpose perhaps some other model and brand. One thing that I do not like is paying a lot for name. When I really can tell the difference, I… Read more »

@GO, I think that you are on to something. If I took my Huskemaw to the field to go hunting, and fell out of the tree stand, and destroyed it. I would be very upset. The Bushnell 3X9 by 50 is perfect for a deer hunt, and if I fell out of the tree stand and destroyed it. I would only be a little upset. Does Bushnell’s warranty cover destruction by gravity fed outdoorsmen?

Georgiaoutlaw

They say it’s a bullet proof warranty as good or better than leupold as a hunting optic

Wild Bill

Oh come on! Gravity fed outdoorsmen! Now, that is funny!

Georgiaoutlaw

Say it again I don’t quite understand what I’m supposed to understand. Lol

Wild Bill

Just a joke. Gravity fed like a hopper with lots of hunters falling out. Can’t let things get too serious around here!

Huskemaw is comparable to Leupold Mark 4, but has less internal adjustment? Ok for hunting!

Dave Satterthwaite

I’d like to see a article for regular people. You know, not rich. Say scopes under $500 or so that will do the job.
Most of the people who are reading your article do not have the means to buy the best, most expensive scope on the market so get real. Unless you’re targeting the article for the one percent.

@Reach, why don’t you just tell him the things that he can look for, at the store, in a good scope other than name, and price tag? If you look down on someone for their taste in wine, cars, or rifle scopes, then you have an obligation to improve them or admit that you something that you don’t want to be.

Naa I’m just trying to say to hunt accurately and affordability the bushnell 3-9-50 legend is a great scope for the task

Don Bailey

Go look at the Vortex scopes. They make a good value/quality scope that can meet just about anyone’s needs. This article addresses long range shooting whether it is for hunting or just shooting long range targets for fun. In truth, long range shooting, the competition is against yourself to get everything right. Finding a good scope that you can afford helps you get there. Not everyone has the cash flow or extra dollars left over at the end of the month to play with their hobbies.

Wild Bill

@Dubi B, I have a Vortex on my .257 Wby. Shot a coyote that stopped too long at the edge of the meadow , last winter. It was about 480 yards. It is on my fireplace mantle now. I’ve never had any real world problems with Vortex.

Don Bailey

Can’t beat .257 Wby for flat shooting.

Lordy, this really has generated some serious debate. If nothing else, great job on pushing some buttons! Let me just say that for years I couldn’t afford $2000.00 scopes, nor a $5000.00 to mount it on. I learned through trial and error what works and what doesn’t. If you have a rifle and scope that combined are under $1000.00 and you can consistently hit your target at whatever range you are shooting, then you have exactly what you need and another $500.00 or $10,000.00 is a waste of money, but it will give you something to brag about and embarrass… Read more »

That’s ridiculous. Vortex earned it’s place among high quality optics faster than most other companies because they offer high quality optics without the normal high prices. The only companies that offer such fantastic warranties are the ones who know they aren’t going to be getting a lot of products back. You’ll never see crappy products with a warranty like Vortex simply because they would go out of business.
