Essential Riflescope Terms for Every Shooter

Just like any other hobby or activity, shooting has dozens of important terms to know. These terms can help you understand everything from choosing the right equipment to successfully hitting your target in the field. When you’re shopping for a Crossfire riflescope, understanding the industry terms and specifications will help you find the perfect riflescope for your needs.

Magnification: The magnification of a riflescope represents how much larger an object will appear in your scope than it looks to the naked eye. While regular hunters should choose a magnification around 3–9 to 4–12, long-range shooters typically benefit from a 6–20 to 8–25 riflescope magnification. Higher magnifications let less light enter the lens, which can be challenging for many hunting situations.

Objective Diameter: The objective diameter describes the size of the lens that’s furthest away from your eye. Typically, this number will be listed after the magnification range and is measured in millimeters. The larger the objective diameter is, the greater the amount of light that comes into your riflescope lens will be.

Reticle: The reticle is more commonly known as the crosshair of a riflescope. It’s the point in the scope you use for aiming while looking through the eyepiece. When the reticle and the image you’re looking at aren’t on the same plane, an optical phenomenon called parallax occurs, which blurs or moves the image. Riflescope lenses correct for parallax, but different lenses correct for this phenomenon at different distances. Ensure you find a riflescope that corrects at the distances you need most.

If you’re interested in becoming a serious shooter, learning these riflescope terms is an important step to take. The knowledgeable staff members at Camera Land in New York City are available to help you shop for riflescopes and understand the many different terms and numbers that describe each.
