Things To Keep in Mind Before Buying
CMP Service Rifles aren’t quite picky about scopes. That’s why finding the best scope for such a rifle can be a bit tricky. Keeping a couple of things in mind will help you choose the right scope easily.
Build Quality
Service rifles are often used in harsh conditions, that’s why a scope with durable housing will help you in the field.
Weight
Weight distribution is quite important. If you make your gun a bit back-heavy, then you will have trouble aiming accurately. That’s why go for a scope with good weight and balanced weight.
Lens Quality
A good pair of lenses will help you win many competitions and help you land many preys. A bad pair of lenses however will only be a headache to deal with.
