Long Range Rifle Scopes
Hunting rifle scopes are standard equipment for most outdoor sportsmen and sportswomen. The hunting rifle scope is a small telescope that mounts to the top of a gun using a rubber or plastic ring. This firearm accessory can be taken off of the gun whenever doing so is desired, without scratching or denting the firearm. The device itself can be adjusted for magnification and focus as needed and usually has a magnification range of several hundred feet.
Hunters, however, are not the only people who use this type of device on their rifles. The military also uses hunting scopes for long range targeting of enemy combatants and their equipment. Most military units use hunting rifle scopes with mil-dot reticles. The reticle is the cross hair that is visible on the lens of the device to line up a target. The mil-dot reticle has duplex cross hairs that have small dots in the field of view. Each dot equals one inch of distance from one hundred yards away from the target.

Sportsmen can also use the mil-dot system; however, it takes some mental calculations to figure out the distance to an object using this type of reticle. Most sportsmen prefer a traditional cross hair reticle that can be visually lined up on a target by adjusting the position of the gun.
