Today's top precision scopes feature first-focal plane reticles with abundant references for fine adjustments, tactile turrets providing feedback, and versatile magnification ranges that enable engagement from close targets to extreme distances.
First focal plane (FFP) precision scopes are preferred by serious shooters because reticle subtensions remain accurate at any magnification, allowing precise windage and elevation calls without changing settings - particularly valuable in competitions with constantly changing shooting distances.
In FFP scopes, the reticle changes size proportionally with magnification, while in SFP scopes, it remains the same size regardless of magnification setting. FFP reticles work at every magnification level, providing significant advantages in dynamic shooting situations, while SFP reticles are typically designed to be accurate at maximum magnification.
MOA offers finer adjustments and is often preferred for shorter ranges, while MRAD provides more intuitive holdovers for long-range shooting. Competition shooters have increasingly adopted MRAD systems for their simpler, more intuitive aiming solutions.
Parallax correction aligns your reticle on the same focal plane as your target image, preventing accuracy issues at extended ranges. This feature is critical beyond 250 yards, where even minimal parallax error significantly impacts precision.
True precision scopes usually feature detailed reticles, tactile turrets with positive tracking, zero-stop functionality, extensive elevation adjustment (30+ MRAD/100+ MOA), premium glass, short-distance parallax adjustment, and robust construction that maintains zero.
FFP scopes have become nearly essential for serious precision shooting because reticle measurements remain accurate regardless of magnification. However, potential drawbacks include reticles that appear very fine at low power or potentially too thick at maximum magnification.
For precision competitions, scopes with ranges from approximately 5-6x on the low end to 25-30x on the high end provide optimal versatility, though magnification beyond 25x can sometimes hinder performance due to mirage and environmental factors.
Precision reticles feature more reference points, often in "Christmas tree" or grid patterns with precise measurements that allow accurate holdovers without dialing turrets. These designs typically include open center aiming points that enable precise targeting without obscuring distant targets.
Having a deep depth of field provides a wider parallax-free zone. This keeps targets sharp across the distances you will encounter in PRS, ELR, or NRL Hunter. Setting your parallax at a mid-range distance (500 yards) helps minimize focus adjustments needed in dynamic stages for PRS/NRL. It can also benefit ELR shooting with a clear focus at extreme ranges.
A wide field of view, like 30 feet at 100 yards on a lower power setting, allows you to see targets for quick corrections in fast-paced shooting. Look for a riflescope with a broad FOV at 4-10x for PRS/NRL, and sufficient FOV at 20x+ for ELR target spotting.
Having a fast-focus eyepiece allows for rapid reticle clarity, which is crucial in PRS/NRL Hunter's timed target transitions and ELR's consistent long-range focus. You want a smooth, 1-2-turn ring that holds settings under recoil and maintains clarity across the rifle's scopes' full magnification range.
Turrets should have crisp, tactile clicks with enough travel to hit long-range targets (60+ MOA/18+ MRAD for PRS/NRL Hunter, 100+ MOA/30+ MRAD for ELR), and accurate tracking. Clear revolution indicators and tool-less zero reset are also extremely helpful. Zero Stop allows for a quick return to zero, and Zero Hold (or Zero Lock) prevents unintended adjustments for rugged shooting conditions.
