The Plinkers Optics
Some of the Tasco optics can in a 1″ or 3/4″ tube so make sure you put some thought into what kind of size you need and get the proper scope rings. Tasco Pronghorn Rifle Scope 3-9X 40 30/30 Matte 1″ is a great scope to start out with. There are a few tasco riflescopes that are good for Varmint hunting, too. The Tasco Target Rifle Scope 6-24X 42 Illuminated Mil-Dot Matte has an illuminated reticle for even more possibilities.
Hopefully I don’t sound demeaning in calling Tasco riflescopes a plinkers scope, but I gotta be honest. They are. and they are possible one of the best starting scopes any shooter can begin with. Riflescopes can cost in the thousands of dollars, but not everyone needs a combat optic that can see the rings around Neptune.
For the hunter who can appreciate the advantage of confidence, Zeiss offers two riflescope platforms that feature an array of objective sizes, reticle configurations, and laser rangefinding capabilities. So there’s a riflescope that’s perfectly designed to match every hunting situation.
Like many novice shooters, we start out with whatever we can get our hands on. There are a lot of cheap optics on the market that all fall in the under $100 market that may work fine for somebody just looking to plink or use for hunting once a year, but I’ve put enough lead downrange to know that serious shooters don’t want to be sitting on a firine line watching a reticle spin when they are trying to sight in. Some gun owners will get those gun show specials only to find out that all of those cheap optics they bought won’t last a lifetime.Durability is only one part of the selection. Hunting early in the morning or late in the afternoon can be a challege especially for those not equipment with quality optics.
There are four large cargo pockets on the front of the vest. They feature side bellows and drain holes at the bottom of the pockets, elastic webbing on the inside to secure smaller items like magazines or a flashlight, and tuckable flaps w/adjustable snaps. The top pockets also each feature a vertical zippered Napoleon security pocket. The front of the vest secures with a two-way YKK zipper. There are four internal pockets with elastic loops for securing additional gear.
Choosing the right riflescope is as important as choosing the right rifle – many experts agree that it can be even more critical to the success of a hunt. The fact that most rifles today no longer come equipped with iron sights is testament alone to the need for a telescopic sight, but it is the quality of the sight that can make the difference between getting your riflescope’s crosshairs on a trophy or going home empty handed.
Though most people wouldn’t consider this an option, it’s pertinent to use some of the same equipment police and law enforcement use for civil defense for hunting expeditions. Gear like rifle bags, holsters, duffels, and multi-packs can make great additions to a hunting equipment repertoire. For example, using a rifle bag to store your hunting rifles and ammunition provides easy access, and keeps your equipment safe and organized when not in use. In addition, most tactical gear has a multitude of pockets and pouches that can be used to store other essential hunting equipment like scent maskers, compasses, flashlights, and animal calling instruments.

While there are many arguments about which firearm may suit you, one issue that the novice shooters often need to be educated about is that even if you are shopping for a gun that is reliable and a caliber you can handle, everyones hands are different and knowing that a gun grip can be easily customized or modified is something often over looked.
