As I went to purchase my first rifle, Carly, Miss Pursuit CEO and Founder, was clear, “Get a good gun, but get the best optics possible for hunting.” Good hunting optics will make a huge difference. Whether you’re glassing the side of a mountain or getting ready to aim, you’ll need a good view. And really, you spend more time looking for wild game than anything else. Make sure you have a clear view each time you take a look.

Check out the best hunting optics the Miss Pursuit team uses for their hunts.
Miss Pursuit Guide to Optics
I’m not here to debate the differences between Vortex and Leupold; those are the brands our team uses most. You will also see Swarovski on the list. Our purpose in sharing our hunting optic choices is to give you a place to start when you are looking at options for yourself. From these brands, you’ll find quality entry-level to top-end optics, and everything in between.
You’re bound to learn something new from taking a look at each of these hunting optics options. Some scopes are perfect for 200-yard shots, while others will help you shoot far beyond that distance. It matters what you shoot, and where you’re shooting.

What they say…
I love Vortex Optics because they offer an unlimited lifetime warranty. If they can’t fix it they’ll replace the product with no additional charge. These binoculars are perfect for spotting animals while sitting in the ground blind or tree stand.
