Sometimes, even a five or six power scope can leave you feeling foolish as you desperately try to find a semblance of brown hair through a narrow field of view. Next time you\u2019re in the market to outfit your deer <a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/the-growing-popularity-of-the-6-5-creedmoor-rifle-round\/\" title=\"The Growing Popularity of the 6.5 Creedmoor Rifle Round\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rifle<\/a> with a new scope, don\u2019t forget about the trusty 3-9&#215;40 or even a 2.5-10&#215;42.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eye_Relief\"><\/span>Eye Relief<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Eye relief is the comfortable distance that a scope can be held away from the eye to still allow you to see the entire image &#8211; the space in between your dominant (<a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/shooting-22lr-rifle-in-a-whole-new-way\/\" title=\"Shooting a 22LR Rifle in a Whole New Way\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shooting<\/a>) eye and the eyepiece.

It&#8217;s the small circle of light that appears in the eyepiece when you hold the scope at arm\u2019s length. We like to call it the \u201cwindow\u201d of light that comes through the scope. The exit pupil of the scope must match your eye\u2019s pupil in order to have bright, clear images in low-light conditions.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Figuring out the exit pupil is quite simple. Just divide the <a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/tag\/scope-objective-lens-size\/\" title=\"scope objective lens size\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">objective lens size<\/a> in millimeters by the magnification. For example, if your <a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/tag\/rimfire-scope-3-9x40\/\" title=\"rimfire scope 3-9x40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3-9&#215;40 scope<\/a> is set at 3x, 40 divided by 3 equals 13.3 millimeters, which is large enough for almost all low-light situations. If your scope is set at 9x, 40 divided by 9 equals 4.4 millimeters.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The difference in available light from the larger exit pupil is significant. Since your pupil will dilate between 4-5 mm in <a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/tag\/low-light\/\" title=\"low light\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low light<\/a> conditions, if the exit pupil of the scope is smaller than your dilated pupil, it would be like trying to look through a pinhole.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">When the exit pupil of the <a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/tag\/spotting-scope-window-mount\/\" title=\"spotting scope window mount\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scope is larger than your dilated pupil it\u2019s like looking through picture window<\/a>. Also, with a larger exit pupil, exact head placement is less critical when lining up to shoot.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Main_Body_Tube\"><\/span>Main Body Tube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify\">The ruggedness of a riflescope is really one of its most important attributes. For this reason, all\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/riflescopes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TRACT hunting and AR riflescopes<\/a>\u00a0are milled out of solid bar stock in a one-inch, one-piece main body tube that is O-ring sealed and purged with argon gas, making it completely fog and waterproof. Don\u2019t let bad weather and tough terrain stop your <a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/getting-kids-into-hunting\/\" title=\"Getting Kids Into Hunting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hunt<\/a>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Field_of_View\"><\/span>Field of View<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Field of view is typically gauged at 100 yards. When consider a rifle scope for deer hunting, the 100 yard range is fairly on point, especially for those of us east of the Mississippi. This is the area, in feet, that you can view when you\u2019re looking out to the length of a football field. A higher number indicates a wider FOV where a smaller number means it\u2019s narrow.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The optical design of the eyepiece determines the FOV. That\u2019s why every <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/videosview\/adjust-the-diopter-scope\/\">TRACT rifle scope<\/a> scope features a large ocular lens. This maximizes FOV as well as enhance target acquisition. The power of the scope has an inverse relationship with FOV as well. As the magnification increases, a smaller FOV results whereas a lower power will give you a wider field. Again, referring back to the optical triangle.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lenses_and_Coatings\"><\/span>Lenses and Coatings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Quality doesn\u2019t come cheap. That\u2019s why we spared no expense when it came to coating the lenses of our riflescopes. The lenses in each are fully multi-coated, meaning there are multiple layers on every air-to-glass surface to allow the maximum amount of light to penetrate through the glass to your eye. These coatings also reduce glare, which at the same time reduces the chance of losing important light due to reflection.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify\">We\u2019ve also used an extremely hard, protective outer lens coating to resist all fingerprints, smudges and scratches. During the height of the <a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/avoiding-ticks-while-hunting\/\" title=\"Avoiding Ticks While Hunting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hunt<\/a>, when your covers are off, the lenses of the riflescope are going to be subjected to the elements. It&#8217;s important that you\u2019re able to take a shot when it presents itself.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recoil\"><\/span>Recoil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Optical quality is extremely important. But if your scope does not hold zero, even the brightest and the clearest scope can let you down. That&#8217;s why is must be built to withstand repeated recoil from heavy magnum calibers. TRACT scopes were designed and engineered to withstand 1000g of recoil. That&#8217;s far greater than the G Force generated by virtually am modern centerfire cartridge.<\/p><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing a Rifle Scope for Deer Hunting | TRACT design and engineer performance-grade optics without the added retail costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12237,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2258,2259,2265],"tags":[2591,2797,2812,2813,2844,2845,2846,2847,2848,2849,2850,2852,2854,3032,3041],"class_list":["post-267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hunting","category-hunting-rifle-scope","category-rifle-scope","tag-deer-hunting","tag-hunting","tag-hunting-calibers","tag-hunting-calibers-for-deer","tag-hunting-rifle-caliber","tag-hunting-rifle-caliber-chart","tag-hunting-rifle-caliber-for-deer","tag-hunting-rifle-calibers","tag-hunting-rifle-calibers-by-size","tag-hunting-rifle-rounds","tag-hunting-rifle-scope","tag-hunting-rifle-sizes","tag-hunting-rifles","tag-rifle-scope","tag-rifle-scope-for-deer-hunting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11520,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions\/11520"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
