The latest rifle scopes and rangefinders are more advanced than ever. With so many brands, features and pricing, you may be wondering which device is right for you. Below we have listed out the best rangefinders and scopes available for your hunting needs.

Rangefinders

Rangefinders have come a long way since their arrival in hunting almost 3 decades ago. When looking for a rangefinder, it should offer two major things: great magnification and the aiming point should be easy to hold on target. If hunting with a rifle, a rangefinder with an extended range of 914m/1,000yds or more will be needed to obtain an accurate shot. See below for our top two choices.

Hawke Laser Rangefinder 1500 High O-LED/6 x 21

This rangefinder has a fully multi-coated optics system with BK-7 prisms for brighter, clearer images. The OLED display is well lit and easy to read. With 6x the magnification and adjustable dioptre(-420ft/140m at 1000yds). It can measure range distances of up to 1500m/1640yds. Also, it can adapt to different conditions with five modes, hunting, rain, standard, angle and horizontal distance. More features include:

• Auto shut off

Rifle Scopes

Scopes for rifles have become extremely advanced and capable of allowing shots at extreme distances. Aiming through a red dot sight or scope helps those with vision issues, those first learning to shoot and reaching targets at greater distances. Below we have listed out the best scopes available for hunting.
