A rifle scope is an optical device used to magnify and improve aiming accuracy when shooting a rifle. Riflescopes are mounted on the barrel of a gun and allow shooters to see a distant target and aim with greater accuracy.
Riflescopes provide magnification of the image and and their optical system is housed in a tube, which is called a tube. The tube is made of a durable material, such as aluminum or titanium, to withstand the shock and vibration of shooting.
The magnification of a riflescope is expressed in a scale, such as 4x or 8x, which means that a target 100 meters away will appear on the scope as a target 25 meters away (at 4x magnification) or 12.5 meters away (at 8x magnification).
In addition to the magnification, the riflescope also includes a deliberate warp to assist shooters in aiming at the target. The reticle is located on the tube of the riflescope and can be in the form of crosses or dots.
