Our research team took almost 24 hours to pick up the most useful scope for PTR 91. We have considered different experts’ opinions in this regard and also went through 50+ customer reviews to get in-depth ideas on how users perceive these scopes. After a lot of security, we have finally come up with the following reviews.
1. Leupold VX-6HD 1-6x24mm Riflescope
Leupold is one of the best sports scope manufacturers right now. They make scopess for all sorts of guns. That includes PTR 91 scopes as well. PTR 91 scope mounts are a bit different than the others. Which lead us to find this scope in the first place.
It’s a scope made with Tactical shooting in mind. It doesn’t have high magnification as lots of others scope on the market. But what it does is good performance for a decent amount of money.
(+) No Holdovers Or Ballistic Configuration Required
Thanks to the ZeroLock CDS-ZL2 technology, you don’t need to calculate ballistic to measure the bullet drop distance, and eliminates the need for holdovers.
(+) Water? Fog? Shock?
One might say, that Conquest conquered all 3 kingdoms. Okay, I will stop. Enough puns for the day. Anyway, as I was saying, Conquest V4 is not affected by any of the elements mentioned above. The construction on this scope is top-notch. Using machined aluminum, there is no chance that the water will go inside this scope. Unless you decide to leave it underwater for over an hour or more.
(+) Twilight Light Management System
Leupold uses this light-saving system to make use of low light and make the best out of it. It works alternative to HD and ED glasses. Surprisingly, this one comes with HD glasses to begin with. Now you pair that up with the twilight light management system! Well, sight to behold for sure. No pun intended there.
(-) It Will Take Time To Get Used To
That’s not what she said. But it will take some time to get used to the reticle included in the scope. It takes a good amount of eyeballing to feel the scope and make it work the way you want to. Once you are done with that phase, it’s all rise and shine from there.
2. ZEISS Conquest V4 4-16x44mm Rifle Scope
ZEISS lenses are some of the best lenses you will ever get your hands on. Their lenses are so good, that even their mobile phone camera sensor uses the same material to make the lens. Their customer service is top-notch as well. The scope we have today from them is Conquest V4. Conquest V4 is also the cheapest scope on our list today.
Just because it’s cheap, does that mean it’s bad? Let’s find out whether your assumption is the truth or not!
(+) You Want Reticles? You Will Get Your Reticles
Was hard to pull off the cussing there. But good lord! There are so many reticles to choose from. Doesn’t matter what your comfort is, pretty sure you will find one similar to the one you are used to. That’s how many reticles ZEISS has in their arsenal. Truly a war machine.
(+) Can’t Go To War With Weak Body
As much as I would like to preach the heart matters here. But you cannot bring equipment to the field that is poorly made. ZEISS isn’t someone to disappoint you in that regard. They take community feedback quite well and try to improve based on that.
The build quality on this scope is quite good and it’s water and shockproof. Something that we often take granted for.
(+) Lights For Days
Besides having an illuminated reticle, this scope also features ZEISS’s T* coating. It’s a special formula that ZEISS owns and uses on their scopes. It makes the scope brighter than all of its competitors and makes it usable in any weather as well.
ZEISS developed a coating called LotuTec to coat their scopes and binoculars. It makes the scope usable under harsh conditions as well.
(-) Not All Reticles Are Illuminated
You can find in the listing which reticle is illuminated and which is not. This can be confusing to new buyers. But don’t worry, the listing has it straightforward. Also, this scope is quite big. That’s not an issue necessarily. But it might be to few optics here and there.

3. Trijicon ACOG 3 X 30 Scope Dual Illuminated
Trijicon ACOG is a tactical riflescope made by a well-known rifle equipment manufacturer Trijicon. They are well-known for their craftsmanship and good customer service. They won’t try to stall you with unnecessary information in the warranty. You get what you want and deserve.
ACOG 3×30 is what you can expect from a tactical sight. No blurriness, strong construction, and performing crazy well. Let’s find out a bit more about the scope.
(+) Built For The War?
Not anymore. This thing is strong enough to not flinch under heavy artillery and extreme weather conditions. It’s durable and shockproof. Water can’t get inside the scope either. Making it completely water and fogproof.
(+) 3X is Enough
Don’t let others tell you out of this, but a 3X scope is more than enough to unleash your PTR91. It’s a tactical scope which necessarily means it won’t have high magnification to begin with. Most of the time ACOGs often come with 4x magnification. But Trijicon took a different approach and it turned out to be fine.
(+) Any One Want A Chevron?
This scope comes with a dual-illuminated Chevron reticle. This reticle can be a bit hard to get used to at first. But it comes with all the necessary information that you need on a crosshair. The arrows are quite distracting for sure.
(+) Eyes Feel Good
A good pair of lenses can make your eyes feel relaxed and help you look better. Just like a pair of glasses to improve your vision, a fully multi-coated lens can improve the scope of vision by a lot. That’s the case here and I am all up for it.
- Low light capability and long eye relief
(-) PTR91 Scope Mount
PTR 91 doesn’t come with your traditional scope mounting rail. Neither does this scope here. It’s better to be aware of that first and make sure you get a mounting system that supports both.
How To Choose A Sight For PTR 91?
While choosing the scope for your PTR, you need to keep in mind some things. Here are some of them-
Build Quality: It should be one of the main priorities while taking a scope. If the housing is not good, it might hold back the lens performance by leaking in water and fog.
Lens quality: If the lenses are not made equally and with good coating, they will get scratched early and hinder your vision. None of us wants that to happen to our scopes. To avoid that, take scopes with fully multi-coated lenses. They produce the best color and are quite resistant to dust and scratches.
Magnification: Depending on your needs, the magnification will vary a lot. Some of us don’t need a high-magnification scope as we don’t plan to shoot over 600 or more yards. For the rest of us, however, the more the merrier.
Reticle: Now, this is something that I most of the time leave to preference. What I like, or you like, might not be to liking of others. There is no need to get judgmental here and use the reticle that you feel comfortable with.
