A good scope will increase your odds of success. By the same token, increasing your odds of success doesn't necessarily have to significantly decrease your savings account. Case in point, the Sportsman series. Ideal for those who want Bushnell quality optics while staying within a budget. Sportsman riflescopes feature multi-coated optics for reliable viewing from early morning to last light. Standard features include one-piece, 1"-tube construction for reliability, a fast-focus eyepiece and 1/4 M.O.A. fingertip windage and elevation adjustments. The easy grip power change ring makes switching between magnifications simple. Of course, like all Bushnell riflescopes, your Sportsman scope is designed to endure the elements. And the price tag? Let's just say the scope isn't the only thing that looks good.

- Objective lens: 32mm
- Field of view at 1,000 yards: 46.2 feet at 1.5x, 19.3 feet at 4.5x

Tech Talk
Magnification (Power): Riflescopes are often referred to by two numbers separated by an "x". For example: 4x40. The first number is the power or magnification of the scope. With a "4x", the object being viewed appears to be four times closer than when seen with the unaided eye.
Objective Lens Size: The second number in the formula (4x40) is the diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the scope, and the brighter the image.
Field of View (F.O.V.): The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide angle binocular features a wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.
Reticle: A reticle is the crosshair or pattern placed in the eyepiece of the scope which establishes the gun's position on the target.
