Scopes
Scopes make aiming easier and thus help achieve more accurate shots. There are different types of scopes depending on the purpose of the firearm. Hunting scopes are suitable for fast situations. "Tactical and Precision scopes" are particularly suited for longer distances and perform well in low light conditions. Additionally, there are general scopes which are primarily used on air rifles.
Objective lens refers to the lens of the scope that is closest to the firearm's barrel.
Eyepiece is the lens of the scope that is closest to the shooter's eye.
