This book represents a serious study of the features and faults of typical rifle scopes and mounting systems. A primary goal of this book is to help shooters learn what matters, what is less important, and how to balance features with cost and performance. I few realities explained in this book:
  • In the world of optics, everything is a compromise
  • An ideal scope-mounting system does exist but the limitations can be mitigated
  • Most gunsmiths never learn how to correctly mount a scope
  • Those interested in accuracy who do not spend more on the scope than on the gun are almost certainly making a mistake
With 167 pages, 40,000 words, and 83 photographs, drawings, and tables, this article provides plenty of fodder to help serious shooters understand how to make a good decision when buying a scope for a specific purpose. Perhaps more importantly, it can help one understand why there is no such thing as too much quality when it comes to optics and why, sadly, all scopes obey McPherson's Law of Riflescope entropy, all scopes are in one of two conditions:
  1. Having already failed, or
  2. In the process of failing
