The Vortex Optics Crossfire II is the best in a variety of circumstances. This scope comes in multiple configurations and prices based on your needs. Click below to read more about differences in Vortex scope set ups.
Best Scope Under $100
The Sig Sauer Buckmasters 3-12×44 is the best rifle hunting scope out there under $100. As the name implies the scope offers 3-12x magnification with a 44mm objective. High quality waterproof and fog proof glass is great for its price point. You can trust this scope for just about any shot up to 300 yards.
Best For The Pros
The Vortex Optics Razor HD Gen II holds up against any scope in its class, and we even prefer it to the newer Gen III model. Optimized glass delivers exceptional resolution, cuts chromatic aberrations, and provides outstanding color fidelity. The unique halo system precise aiming under low-light conditions. Completely shockproof, waterproof, fogproof, this scope ruggedly built and sealed. Offered in 6 different reticle options. You won’t be disappointed.
Best Night Vision
If you have never gone hog hunting at night we suggest you give it a try. You will need a good night vision scope and they can get pretty expensive fast. We like the Sightmark Wraith HD 4-32×50 which we have found to be the best option under $500. This scope has a day and night mode, HD sensor that allows for photo or video recording, and a 8x digital zoom.
