A telescopic sight, commonly known as a scope, is an optical device used to enhance the accuracy of aiming at distant targets. It consists of a series of lenses that magnify the image, allowing the user to see objects more clearly. Telescopic sights are often mounted on firearms, such as rifles, to improve shooting precision. These sights typically feature reticles, which are crosshairs or other markings that help shooters align their aim. They come in various magnification levels and designs, catering to different shooting needs, including hunting and competitive shooting. Popular brands include Leupold and Vortex.
