Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose The Best Long Range Scopes In 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Spending this much on a scope only makes sense if you buy the right features. Here is what separates the best long range scopes from the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First Focal Plane Or Second Focal Plane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In a first focal plane (FFP) scope, the reticle grows and shrinks with magnification, so your holds are correct at any power. That is why nearly every precision competitor runs FFP. A second focal plane (SFP) reticle stays the same size, which keeps it bold at low power for hunting, but holds are only correct at one magnification. Seven of our eight picks are FFP. The Maven RS.5 is the SFP choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tracking And Turrets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Tracking is the most important thing a long range scope does. Look for exposed, locking elevation turrets with a zero stop, clear numbers and a revolution indicator so you do not get lost a full turn off. Our testers checked tracking with tall target tests, box tests and a laser. Also look at how much elevation travel the scope has. A 20 MOA base helps you use all of it at long distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magnification And Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
More magnification is not always better. Mirage and your own wobble limit what you can see past about 20x on most days. A 5-25x or 6-24x covers almost everything. Bigger objectives and 34mm or 36mm tubes give more light and more adjustment, but they add weight. Our Razor 6-36 weighed 45.1 ounces. The Razor HD LHT weighs 21.7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Long Range Scope For Hunting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For hunting, weight and simplicity matter more than 36x. A 4.5-22x or 4-24x scope with capped windage, a zero stop and a reticle you can see in low light is the sweet spot. Pair it with a good laser rangefinder. See our best rangefinders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMils Or MOA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Either works if your turrets and reticle match. Mils are the most common choice in precision rifle matches, and the numbers are smaller and easier to call for wind. Many hunters grew up with MOA. Pick one and stick with it across your rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Long Range Scope For The Money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The sweet spot for long range glass is roughly $1,500 to $2,000. Spending more gets you better glass at the edges, more travel and more refined turrets. Our Leupold Mark 4HD tester placed second in his class against scopes that cost twice as much or more. Spotting your own hits matters too, so a good spotter helps. See our best spotting scopes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBest Long Range Scopes Ranked: 2026 Product Roundup<\/h2>\n\n\n\nNightforce ATACR 7-35×56 F1: Best Long Range Scope Overall (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer is a former soldier who spent his last years in the service behind Schmidt and Bender glass, and he said the ATACR 7-35×56 F1 is on par with anything else in the world. His verdict: this is not the best scope for the money, it is the best rifle scope that has ever been built. He was serious enough to say he would be buying the test sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Nightforce ATACR 7-35x review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHe was worried 35x would cause trouble with focus and parallax at short range. It did not. The image was perfect at 100 meters and at 1,000. Mechanically, the scope was so good it validated his tracking test protocol. The controls are simple and positive, and numbers appear from under the elevation turret as you complete each full rotation, so you do not get lost dialing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a 34mm tube, a ZeroStop elevation turret, DigIllum illumination and a power throw lever, and the test scope had a Horus reticle in 0.1 mil clicks. It weighs 39.3 ounces. Nightforce still builds the ATACR 7-35×56 F1 in several reticles today. If you want one scope that does it all at long range and never think about it again, this is the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nZero Compromise ZC527: Best Premium Long Range Scope (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer called the ZC527 the best optic he had ever laid his hands on, and he found absolutely no negatives. He put it through a tall target test at 102 yards, confirmed with two rangefinders. Dialing 10 mils up, it tracked with 99.9 percent accuracy. Dialing 4.4 mils of windage, it tracked at 99.8 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Zero Compromise ZC527 review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe turrets lift to unlock, ratchet around with a positive snap at every click, even when spun fast, and push down to lock rock solid. There is a rotation indicator, a Return 2 Zero stop and an indexing mark that shows when you lift the turret. The MPCT 2 reticle gave him fine and coarse mil values and drop and wind holds without clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a 36mm tube, a 56mm objective and 5-27x magnification, with 35 mils of elevation and 21 mils of windage. Color and clarity were so good that the image looked like a zoomed-in copy of what his eye saw. MSRP was $3,600 at the time of review in 2019, and ZCO still builds the ZC527 today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nVortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 FFP: Best Long Range Scope For 1,000 Yards (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer said the Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 was the clearest scope he had ever used, and he owns an EOTech 5-25. He said mirage was the only thing keeping him from reading the fine print on a $100 bill at 1,000 yards. To test tracking, he zeroed a laser to the reticle at about 100 yards, dialed 10 mils, and the laser sat exactly on the 10-mil line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe big turrets give 10 mils per turn with positive clicks and clear numbers. The L-Tec+ zero system adjusts with a single set screw, and the parallax knob focuses from 10 yards to infinity. Illumination is built into the parallax knob with an off position between each of 10 levels. The eyebox is forgiving for a 6-36, and he even made a quick 30-yard shot on a boar with it on his AR-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not light at 45.1 ounces, and the large turrets will block a top-mounted red dot. He tested the MRAD version with the EBR-7D reticle, and it has 36.1 mils of elevation on a flat mount. MSRP was $3,999 at the time of review in 2023, with street prices well under that. Compare it with the rest of the line in our best Vortex scopes<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Magnification: 6-36x<\/li>\n

The XTR PS is a different kind of long range scope. You load your ballistics into it with the Burris Connect app, and the clickless top turret then dials in yards, not mils. Our reviewer ranged steel at 300 and 405 yards, dialed the distance and hit, and kept going past 600 without a DOPE chart. At Elk Boot Camp in Idaho, he dialed 1,080 yards and hit with his first, second and third rounds on a 6.5 PRC Tikka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Burris XTR PS review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is not a rangefinding scope. The internal display shows the yardage you have dialed, a level, your wind setting, battery life and a shot timer. You can store several loads and switch between them with the app, and the turret resolves to 1\/30 mil. The glass was crisp even at 30x with no color fringing he could see, and the parallax focuses from 20 yards to infinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It weighs 37.5 ounces, needs 34mm rings and runs on a CR123A. The app is not as intuitive as he would like, and some states, including Idaho, restrict electronic displays for hunting. MSRP is $2,760 (2026 review). See more Burris glass in our best Burris scopes<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Magnification: 5.5-30x<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLeupold Mark 4HD 6-24×52: Best Long Range Scope For The Money (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer is a police sniper who took a brand-new Mark 4HD 6-24×52 with the FFP PR3-MIL reticle to the Western States Sniper Symposium. Shots ran from 10 yards to past 1,000, against teams running SIG, U.S. Optics, Vortex, Zeiss and a lot of Nightforce. He won the tightest-group contest and the speed shoot-off at 198, 300 and 460 yards, and placed second in the individual category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Leupold Mark 4HD review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe M5C3 elevation turret clicks in 0.1 mil, gives about 36 mils of travel in three turns, tracked flawlessly and locks at zero with Leupold’s ZeroLock. The PR3-MIL reticle is clean, with a 0.05 mil center dot and an open top half. The glass is sharp edge to edge, and the side parallax was close to true range when targets came into focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His early-production scope had one flaw: the windage turret would not lock. He would also like illumination. It is 14.6 inches long and weighs 27.5 ounces. MSRP for his model was $1,499.99 at the time of review in 2024, and he called it an absolute steal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nVortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22×50: Best Long Range Scope For Hunting (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Razor HD LHT puts a 4.5-22x FFP scope in 21.7 ounces, which is why our reviewer tested it for his lightweight long range hunting rifle. He ran a tall target test at 100 yards with his custom .308. Dialing 27 MOA, it tracked with 99 percent accuracy, and it returned to zero afterward. He used a rolled-up jacket as a rear bag that day, so the rifle, not the scope, was the weak link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Vortex Razor HD LHT review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHe liked the RevStop zero stop, the 25-yard to infinity parallax, the 4 inches of eye relief and the XLR-2 reticle for both small groups and holdovers. The locking elevation turret is positive and smooth, and the clicks are quieter than on target scopes, which may be on purpose for hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The magnification ring is stiff, the windage index mark is hard to read, and he wished it had a revolution indicator at this price. MSRP was $1,999.99 at the time of review in 2022. He liked it enough to buy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEOTech Vudu 5-25×50 FFP: Best Compact Long Range Scope (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
At about 11.2 inches long, the Vudu 5-25×50 is one of the shortest first focal plane scopes on the market and weighs under 2 pounds. That makes it a good match for short rifles and chassis guns. Our reviewer mounted it on a Remington 700 Magpul in 6mm Creedmoor and shot a 0.70-inch group at 100 yards with Hornady 108-grain ELD Match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full EOTech Vudu 5-25×50 review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor tracking, he shot a staggered pattern at 100 yards. Ten clicks up should move 3.6 inches, and his moved 3.7. Ten clicks right moved 3.8. Five up and five left came in at 1.7 up and 1.4 left. He called it some precision tracking, especially with a hot barrel. The image was clear and sharp, and at dusk he could have made an ethical shot on a deer to 300 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a one-piece 34mm tube, a push\/pull locking elevation turret, 50-yard to infinity parallax and an illuminated reticle on a CR2032. Suggested retail was $2,100 at the time of review in 2019, and EOTech lists it at $2,279 in 2026. His test scope had the MD-3 reticle. Current models ship with other reticles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maven sells direct, so a lot of shooters have never looked through one. Our reviewer mounted the RS.5 4-24×50 on a Benelli Lupo in .30-06 and shot the box at 100 yards at 24x. Eight clicks right should move 2 inches, and his moved 2.2. Twelve clicks up should move 4 inches, and his moved 3.7. His final shot touched his first, in 10 to 15 mph gusting wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Maven RS.5 4-24×50 review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is a second focal plane scope, so the reticle stays bold at low power for hunting. It has a dial-to-shoot elevation turret, capped windage, a mechanical zero stop, side parallax from 10 yards and an etched, illuminated MOA reticle with 10 brightness levels. At dusk at 10x, he could have made an ethical shot at 200 yards-plus for 10 minutes after sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has 100 MOA of elevation and weighs 25.5 ounces. The RS.5 sold for $1,400 at the time of review in 2023, or $1,560 in a bundle with Warne rings, and Maven lists it at $1,600 in 2026. If you want long range dialing with a hunting reticle, this is the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinal Thoughts On The Best Long Range Scopes Of 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Nightforce ATACR 7-35×56 F1 is our pick for the best long range scope, with glass our tester put on par with anything in the world and tracking good enough to validate his test. The Zero Compromise ZC527 measured 99.9 percent tracking and is the premium choice, and the Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 is the clearest scope our Razor tester ever used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the money, the Leupold Mark 4HD won two contests at a sniper symposium, and it was $1,499.99 when we tested it in 2024. Hunters should look at the 21.7-ounce Razor HD LHT or the Maven RS.5. The Burris XTR PS is the scope for shooters who want to dial yards instead of clicks, and the EOTech Vudu packs 25x into 11.2 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even the best long range scopes need a solid setup. Whatever you buy, test its tracking yourself, mount it level and learn your reticle.

Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose The Best Long Range Scopes In 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Spending this much on a scope only makes sense if you buy the right features. Here is what separates the best long range scopes from the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First Focal Plane Or Second Focal Plane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In a first focal plane (FFP) scope, the reticle grows and shrinks with magnification, so your holds are correct at any power. That is why nearly every precision competitor runs FFP. A second focal plane (SFP) reticle stays the same size, which keeps it bold at low power for hunting, but holds are only correct at one magnification. Seven of our eight picks are FFP. The Maven RS.5 is the SFP choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tracking And Turrets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Tracking is the most important thing a long range scope does. Look for exposed, locking elevation turrets with a zero stop, clear numbers and a revolution indicator so you do not get lost a full turn off. Our testers checked tracking with tall target tests, box tests and a laser. Also look at how much elevation travel the scope has. A 20 MOA base helps you use all of it at long distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magnification And Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
More magnification is not always better. Mirage and your own wobble limit what you can see past about 20x on most days. A 5-25x or 6-24x covers almost everything. Bigger objectives and 34mm or 36mm tubes give more light and more adjustment, but they add weight. Our Razor 6-36 weighed 45.1 ounces. The Razor HD LHT weighs 21.7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Long Range Scope For Hunting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For hunting, weight and simplicity matter more than 36x. A 4.5-22x or 4-24x scope with capped windage, a zero stop and a reticle you can see in low light is the sweet spot. Pair it with a good laser rangefinder. See our best rangefinders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mils Or MOA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Either works if your turrets and reticle match. Mils are the most common choice in precision rifle matches, and the numbers are smaller and easier to call for wind. Many hunters grew up with MOA. Pick one and stick with it across your rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Long Range Scope For The Money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The sweet spot for long range glass is roughly $1,500 to $2,000. Spending more gets you better glass at the edges, more travel and more refined turrets. Our Leupold Mark 4HD tester placed second in his class against scopes that cost twice as much or more. Spotting your own hits matters too, so a good spotter helps. See our best spotting scopes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Long Range Scopes Ranked: 2026 Product Roundup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Nightforce ATACR 7-35×56 F1: Best Long Range Scope Overall (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer is a former soldier who spent his last years in the service behind Schmidt and Bender glass, and he said the ATACR 7-35×56 F1 is on par with anything else in the world. His verdict: this is not the best scope for the money, it is the best rifle scope that has ever been built. He was serious enough to say he would be buying the test sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Nightforce ATACR 7-35x review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was worried 35x would cause trouble with focus and parallax at short range. It did not. The image was perfect at 100 meters and at 1,000. Mechanically, the scope was so good it validated his tracking test protocol. The controls are simple and positive, and numbers appear from under the elevation turret as you complete each full rotation, so you do not get lost dialing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a 34mm tube, a ZeroStop elevation turret, DigIllum illumination and a power throw lever, and the test scope had a Horus reticle in 0.1 mil clicks. It weighs 39.3 ounces. Nightforce still builds the ATACR 7-35×56 F1 in several reticles today. If you want one scope that does it all at long range and never think about it again, this is the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our reviewer called the ZC527 the best optic he had ever laid his hands on, and he found absolutely no negatives. He put it through a tall target test at 102 yards, confirmed with two rangefinders. Dialing 10 mils up, it tracked with 99.9 percent accuracy. Dialing 4.4 mils of windage, it tracked at 99.8 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Zero Compromise ZC527 review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The turrets lift to unlock, ratchet around with a positive snap at every click, even when spun fast, and push down to lock rock solid. There is a rotation indicator, a Return 2 Zero stop and an indexing mark that shows when you lift the turret. The MPCT 2 reticle gave him fine and coarse mil values and drop and wind holds without clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a 36mm tube, a 56mm objective and 5-27x magnification, with 35 mils of elevation and 21 mils of windage. Color and clarity were so good that the image looked like a zoomed-in copy of what his eye saw. MSRP was $3,600 at the time of review in 2019, and ZCO still builds the ZC527 today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our reviewer said the Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 was the clearest scope he had ever used, and he owns an EOTech 5-25. He said mirage was the only thing keeping him from reading the fine print on a $100 bill at 1,000 yards. To test tracking, he zeroed a laser to the reticle at about 100 yards, dialed 10 mils, and the laser sat exactly on the 10-mil line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The big turrets give 10 mils per turn with positive clicks and clear numbers. The L-Tec+ zero system adjusts with a single set screw, and the parallax knob focuses from 10 yards to infinity. Illumination is built into the parallax knob with an off position between each of 10 levels. The eyebox is forgiving for a 6-36, and he even made a quick 30-yard shot on a boar with it on his AR-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not light at 45.1 ounces, and the large turrets will block a top-mounted red dot. He tested the MRAD version with the EBR-7D reticle, and it has 36.1 mils of elevation on a flat mount. MSRP was $3,999 at the time of review in 2023, with street prices well under that. Compare it with the rest of the line in our best Vortex scopes<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burris XTR PS 5.5-30×56: Best Smart Long Range Scope (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The XTR PS is a different kind of long range scope. You load your ballistics into it with the Burris Connect app, and the clickless top turret then dials in yards, not mils. Our reviewer ranged steel at 300 and 405 yards, dialed the distance and hit, and kept going past 600 without a DOPE chart. At Elk Boot Camp in Idaho, he dialed 1,080 yards and hit with his first, second and third rounds on a 6.5 PRC Tikka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Burris XTR PS review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not a rangefinding scope. The internal display shows the yardage you have dialed, a level, your wind setting, battery life and a shot timer. You can store several loads and switch between them with the app, and the turret resolves to 1\/30 mil. The glass was crisp even at 30x with no color fringing he could see, and the parallax focuses from 20 yards to infinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It weighs 37.5 ounces, needs 34mm rings and runs on a CR123A. The app is not as intuitive as he would like, and some states, including Idaho, restrict electronic displays for hunting. MSRP is $2,760 (2026 review). See more Burris glass in our best Burris scopes<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our reviewer is a police sniper who took a brand-new Mark 4HD 6-24×52 with the FFP PR3-MIL reticle to the Western States Sniper Symposium. Shots ran from 10 yards to past 1,000, against teams running SIG, U.S. Optics, Vortex, Zeiss and a lot of Nightforce. He won the tightest-group contest and the speed shoot-off at 198, 300 and 460 yards, and placed second in the individual category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Leupold Mark 4HD review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The M5C3 elevation turret clicks in 0.1 mil, gives about 36 mils of travel in three turns, tracked flawlessly and locks at zero with Leupold’s ZeroLock. The PR3-MIL reticle is clean, with a 0.05 mil center dot and an open top half. The glass is sharp edge to edge, and the side parallax was close to true range when targets came into focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His early-production scope had one flaw: the windage turret would not lock. He would also like illumination. It is 14.6 inches long and weighs 27.5 ounces. MSRP for his model was $1,499.99 at the time of review in 2024, and he called it an absolute steal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Razor HD LHT puts a 4.5-22x FFP scope in 21.7 ounces, which is why our reviewer tested it for his lightweight long range hunting rifle. He ran a tall target test at 100 yards with his custom .308. Dialing 27 MOA, it tracked with 99 percent accuracy, and it returned to zero afterward. He used a rolled-up jacket as a rear bag that day, so the rifle, not the scope, was the weak link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Vortex Razor HD LHT review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He liked the RevStop zero stop, the 25-yard to infinity parallax, the 4 inches of eye relief and the XLR-2 reticle for both small groups and holdovers. The locking elevation turret is positive and smooth, and the clicks are quieter than on target scopes, which may be on purpose for hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The magnification ring is stiff, the windage index mark is hard to read, and he wished it had a revolution indicator at this price. MSRP was $1,999.99 at the time of review in 2022. He liked it enough to buy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At about 11.2 inches long, the Vudu 5-25×50 is one of the shortest first focal plane scopes on the market and weighs under 2 pounds. That makes it a good match for short rifles and chassis guns. Our reviewer mounted it on a Remington 700 Magpul in 6mm Creedmoor and shot a 0.70-inch group at 100 yards with Hornady 108-grain ELD Match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full EOTech Vudu 5-25×50 review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For tracking, he shot a staggered pattern at 100 yards. Ten clicks up should move 3.6 inches, and his moved 3.7. Ten clicks right moved 3.8. Five up and five left came in at 1.7 up and 1.4 left. He called it some precision tracking, especially with a hot barrel. The image was clear and sharp, and at dusk he could have made an ethical shot on a deer to 300 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a one-piece 34mm tube, a push\/pull locking elevation turret, 50-yard to infinity parallax and an illuminated reticle on a CR2032. Suggested retail was $2,100 at the time of review in 2019, and EOTech lists it at $2,279 in 2026. His test scope had the MD-3 reticle. Current models ship with other reticles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maven sells direct, so a lot of shooters have never looked through one. Our reviewer mounted the RS.5 4-24×50 on a Benelli Lupo in .30-06 and shot the box at 100 yards at 24x. Eight clicks right should move 2 inches, and his moved 2.2. Twelve clicks up should move 4 inches, and his moved 3.7. His final shot touched his first, in 10 to 15 mph gusting wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Maven RS.5 4-24×50 review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a second focal plane scope, so the reticle stays bold at low power for hunting. It has a dial-to-shoot elevation turret, capped windage, a mechanical zero stop, side parallax from 10 yards and an etched, illuminated MOA reticle with 10 brightness levels. At dusk at 10x, he could have made an ethical shot at 200 yards-plus for 10 minutes after sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has 100 MOA of elevation and weighs 25.5 ounces. The RS.5 sold for $1,400 at the time of review in 2023, or $1,560 in a bundle with Warne rings, and Maven lists it at $1,600 in 2026. If you want long range dialing with a hunting reticle, this is the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinal Thoughts On The Best Long Range Scopes Of 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Nightforce ATACR 7-35×56 F1 is our pick for the best long range scope, with glass our tester put on par with anything in the world and tracking good enough to validate his test. The Zero Compromise ZC527 measured 99.9 percent tracking and is the premium choice, and the Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36×56 is the clearest scope our Razor tester ever used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the money, the Leupold Mark 4HD won two contests at a sniper symposium, and it was $1,499.99 when we tested it in 2024. Hunters should look at the 21.7-ounce Razor HD LHT or the Maven RS.5. The Burris XTR PS is the scope for shooters who want to dial yards instead of clicks, and the EOTech Vudu packs 25x into 11.2 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even the best long range scopes need a solid setup. Whatever you buy, test its tracking yourself, mount it level and learn your reticle.
