When you are considering the purchase of a tactical scope you need to take into consideration the type of shooting in which you will be involved. Military and Law Enforcers are the most likely users of the tactical scope for enforcing or defending. Hunters use the tactical scopes for long distance and short distance game hunting. Knowing what you intend to use the tactical scope for will aid in determining the right scope: the range, likely light conditions, caliber, weight and length of the rifle.
Fixed magnification scopes are usually easier for enforcement officers or military to use because they do not need to be adjusted and preference to hands free shooting. Many technical advances have taken place allowing some enforcers to take advantage of easier to use variable magnification scopes. Variable magnification scopes are often put to better use with hunters who can take the time to accurately target their prey.
The size and weight of the scope is another consideration when purchasing scopes. A heavy tactical scope may make handling of your rifle difficult to maneuver or carry when following your quarry. Check the different scope weight details and choose according to your needs.
Tactical scopes come with a variety of reticles used for focus. Range finders are also available on some models. Wind and bullet drop may be factors to consider when you need to do precision shooting with models having bullet drop compensation or ballistic elevation marked.
