Which riflescope for long-range shooting?
The following features of a riflescope are advantageous for long-range shooting:
A strong magnification of about 20x to 40x to be able to recognize targets and details at long distances of 500 m to 2000 m.
A large central tube diameter of 30 mm, 34 mm or higher in order to obtain the greatest possible adjustment range of the reticle.
A reticle in the 1st image plane. In the case of rifle scopes with a reticle in the 1st image plane, the reticle increases in size when you zoom in. The ratio of the reticle to the magnification factor always remains the same, so distance and bullet drop can be calculated accurately.
A tactical reticle for estimating range and compensating for trajectory such as Mil-Dot or BDC. With complex reticles like the Tremor3 or the H59, detailed calculations of distance and bullet drop can be made.
A clear optics right up to the edge area, because this is the only way to fully utilize the adjustment range of the reticle.
A parallax adjustment on the scope to compensate for parallax.
Adjustment turrets with zero-stop function.
It doesn't matter whether the scope turrets have MOA or MRAD subdivisions, but most long-range shooters shoot with the MRAD system because they are familiar with the metric system on which MRAD is based. Most shooters find it easier to calculate and calculate with the MRAD system.
