Sniper rifle scopes are very different from the "normal" scopes you find on most rifles. The sniper scopes have variable adjustments that take into account the distance to the target, wind speed, light conditions and many other factors. They have complex inner components that determine its shooting accuracy.
There's more to consider when you're thinking of buying a sniper rifle scope than the accuracy and/or features of the scope's mechanical parts. If you shoot a gun with a heavy recoil you will need a tube - or scope body - that can absorb the impact of heavy recoil during shooting and remain in place, allowing you to stay on target and deliver a second shot if necessary.

A sniper rifle scope's physical features are another important thing to consider. If you need to travel long distances by foot, you'll want a scope that is lighter and less bulky than larger scopes that never find their way off the shooting range. The scope that is perfect for long range shooting just won't perform well in a situation that requires quick target acquisition. A more compact design is necessary for close range or urban sniping. These types of sniper rifle scopes are called tactical scopes.
