I used to subscribe to Rifle Shooter. It was good for a while and then slipped into boring gun mag land.

Nothing in the shooting and hunting industry has seen such leaps in technology over the past decade or so as optics, specifically magnified riflescopes. Bigger main tubes make for bigger lenses and, as a result, enhanced light transmission, clarity and resolution, since there’s a bigger sweet spot in the center of each lens. Those roomier tubes enable greater erector tube travel, which translates to more windage and elevation adjustment—a great thing for shooters that stretch their rifles’ long-distance legs. Parallax adjustment has, for the most part, migrated from the objective housing to turret form on the left side of the scope, offering much better accessibility in the best scopes.
But perhaps the greatest advancements found on the best scopes center on the elevation turret. Most advanced scopes today, both of tactical and hunting design, offer at least the option of an exposed dial-for-distance turret. The better turrets offer a zero-stop type mechanism, which allows shooters to instantly return to their 100- or 200-yard zero. The turrents on the best scopes allow multiple upward rotations and have second-rotation numbers displayed to ease the math when dialing for targets way, way out there.
