Best Rifle Scope Under $500: 10 scopes tested head-to-head

I did my best to give good reasoning to support my personal choices for the winners here, but seriously these are all good quality scopes. If you end up with an Athlon, Primary Arms, Leupold, or any other because of your personal preferences, you’ll have a good scope too.

Also, I really think I just got an unlucky copy of a Blackhound. There are tons of positive reviews of Blackhound scopes, so don’t let my experience dissuade you from working with a great company like Blackhound. However, I had to be honest about the flaws I experienced with mine.

Hi very good video. you may try the scope of the vector optics continental. A good kind of scope I believe

F' China

Nice job

Makes me feel good when I already have a diamondback tactical, i haven't had to chance to get behind tons of different scopes but you will not be disappointed with the tactical

What you say about Cabila Covenent 6×24 FFP . To go on 30-06 Ultralight for 200- 500 yard using Nosler LRAB handloads .
Pick that up on 50% off sale . I am Vortex Strike eagle fan, got some Vortex DB and Leupod but can not pass such nice price for FPP .

Well, you've made me feel a bit better about my Vortex Diamondback Tactical. But in no way is it superior to my Arken.

Great job

Great Video Bud No Short Cut well Done Work.

I’ve had several Athlon scopes, all with MOA reticle and MOA turrets

Good video

Great review ! That you !

Leupold! Only one that is American made.

awesome review – very much appreciated!!

Great review!!! Also found it really interesting the Vortex passed all the abuse testing. I own a bunch of Vortex and haven't had issues. In long range groups all you hear is Vortex has a great warranty cuz you will need it. This was great info on the Athlons since I've been wanting to test one out

In your test you lift out SWFA scopes .I find they make excellent rifle scopes The 10x42mm supper sniper is one of my favorites

So you wouldnt shy away from a scope that was made in china?

For under $500! Hell if I go over $400 I expect the scope and the rifle. To be gyro stabilized.

Best scope comparison video that I have seen by a long shot. Very enjoyable presentation as well. Thank you.

What has happened to the Redfield brand that Leopoldo was producing? They were a good scope for the money !!!!!!!

Warranty = Leupold. Also, most of these are too bulky, too heavy, have too much crap for anything OTHER than target. This isn’t an all round scope set.

Can you be honest with me ? Do you think your a good person? Yes ? How many lies have you told in your life, have you stolen something, even if it’s little ? Have you ever used Gods name in vain ? Jesus said whoever looks at a women to lust for her has committed adultery with her in his heart, have you look with lust? I’m sure we have broken these commandments. So by your own admission via your conscious you have admitted to being a lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart do you still think your a good person ? You have to stand before God on judgment day, now if He judges you by those Ten Commandments do you think you’ll be innocent or guilty? Sin is so serious to God that He gives us capital punishment, death for our sins. The Bible says for the wages of sin is death, we earn death because we sin against God. But God provided a way out of hell. God "Jesus" in the flesh lived a perfect sinless life and paid our fine we owed God from our sins by suffering and dying on the
cross. And on the third day He rose from the grave and defeated death, it was impossible that death could hold Him. And if you want to be saved you must repent of all your sins "which means turn from them"and not live a hypocritical life which means you say, I'm a Christian but still lie, steal and fornicate, and you must trust alone in Jesus not in good works or you being a good person and the Bible says God will give you everlasting life. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:9‬ Please think about your eternity. Love you guys.
