Close range, least money

How these picks are chosen
Top score uses the highest HuntGrade score across the whole category, regardless of stock. Best value and Lowest price require a saved in-stock offer for a new item. Best value is the lowest-priced scope within 5 points of that score. Lowest price is the cheapest eligible scope in the category. Score ties favor the lower price; price ties favor the higher score. A scope that earns more than one label appears once. Purchase prices use the lowest qualifying in-stock offer. If no available scope is within the five-point allowance, no Best value pick is shown.
Identification distances are calculated estimates. Specs shown are for each scope’s primary lens configuration. Mounted weight includes a reference mount allowance where needed.
