Why the 2.5-15x Rifle Scope is Ideal for Hunting<\/h2>\n

For hunters, the TORIC 30mm 2.5-15x rifle scope<\/a> may be the perfect setup thanks to its versatility, ruggedness, and usability.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why the 2.5-15x Rifle Scope is Ideal for Hunting<\/a>. In the field, hunters need to prepare for a variety of situations. His or her equipment also needs to withstand all that Mother Nature can throw at it. Finding one rifle scope that can simultaneously excel in the thick Appalachian hardwoods and the wide-open prairies of the Great Plains is challenging. But the <\/span>2.5-15x44mm TORIC<\/span><\/a> has been designed to stand out in a variety of arenas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Versatility Rifle Scope is Ideal for Hunting<\/b><\/h2>\n

Few scopes offer a spacy low-end field of view<\/a> partnered with an extremely capable high-end zoom. Hunters that stomp dirt in changing landscapes can especially benefit from a scope<\/a> that can penetrate dark timber in dim light while also pulling distant game in close. Mountain hunters in particular can benefit from the scope\u2019s ability to stretch across canyons and still find the shoulder on a spooked elk or deer in thick cover.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In contrast, hunters that sit the same stand every day can broaden the use of a single rifle by adding a flexible and functional piece of glass. A rifle that was once intended only for a stand over a small food plot could also double as a long-range shooter to cover two open fields from a shooting<\/a> tower.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Ruggedness<\/b><\/h2>\n

A delicate rifle-and-scope combo rarely lasts the rigors of a lifetime afield. While fancy firearms might elicit a few extra \u201cstyle points\u201d for the shooter, eventually the chase will force a hunter to choose between the preservation of their equipment and the pursuit of their game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A 30mm main tube is a great way to stiffen a scope\u2019s overall stature. A stature that prepares it for bumps, drops, slides, and falls. Waterproofing is also a necessity for hunters who brave snow, sleet, and rain. Historically, scopes have been filled with nitrogen to prevent fog from accumulating. We\u2019ve found that argon is a far better filler in <\/span>extreme temperatures<\/span><\/a> and is preferred across the TRACT lineup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usability Rifle Scope\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Early morning and late afternoon are primetime for hunters. However, a rifle scope can either enhance or hinder a rifle\u2019s ability when light is thin. Scopes with a wider objective allow more light into the tube and therefore the eyepiece but can also add weight. A 44mm objective is a great combination with a 30mm tube to provide shooters with peak performance in half-light scenarios while remaining sturdy and handy. Additionally, the larger tube diameter allows for a wider range of adjustments for more precise long-range shooting<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The right reticle also changes the game when presented with either an early or late shot opportunity. A target animal may remain visible until near darkness, but ultra-fine reticles disappear as daylight wanes. The glass-etched, reticles (either First or Second Focal Plane options) undoubtedly increase performance time. And give hunters a better chance to connect with their target.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Customization<\/b><\/h2>\n

Scope preference varies greatly from one shooter to the next. It\u2019s tantamount for a scope to be offered in a variety of packages to address the needs of the masses. Some shooters prefer a clean reticle. Others prefer the technicality of a Bullet Drop Compensating <\/span>reticle<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, hunters with a military background or citizens of a country that use the metric system may prefer the more familiar milliradian system of measurement. Likewise, civilians raised on the Imperial system may prefer to measure adjustments with minutes of angle.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A scope\u2019s focal plane is equally as divisive. Shooters favoring long-range shots with substantial bullet drop may benefit from a scope with the reticle<\/a> in the first focal plane \u2013 where the reticle stays constant in relation to the target at any magnification. Hunters expecting closer shots may prefer a scope with the reticle<\/a> in the second focal plane, which is easier to see at lower powers. Regardless of the shooter\u2019s goals or preference, it\u2019s important to find a scope that can deliver on all fronts.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Practicality\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

While a wrench can awkwardly drive a nail, a hammer is better suited for the job. And in similar fashion, a scope is a tool that must fit the task at hand. Purposefully designed for hunters, the new TORIC 30mm 2.5-15×44 rifle scope<\/a> is lightweight for its size. And it is easy to use in the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Windage and elevation dials allow shooters to precisely calculate and adjust to distance and wind conditions. A keen parallax adjustment can fine-tune focus to wherever the bullet needs to go. The scope also pairs nicely with the <\/span>Impact Ballistics mobile app<\/span><\/a> to calculate specific dials, holds, and drops for a wide range of cartridges and shooting conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new TORIC 30mm 2.5x-15 x 44mm is a classic utility player for hunters who need a high-quality, do-it-all solution that can be used over a variety of applications. With this combination of features and build quality, no situation in the woods or the field will render a shooter unprepared.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
