Best Rifle Scopes for Backcountry Hunting: American Made & Tougher Than The Rest!
Episode 391
Friday, 18 September, 2026

How do you choose a riflescope that won't let you down in the backcountry? Pick from a proven brand, with a track record of performance and reliablity. In this epside we sit down with a Leupold engineer and discuss what makes a scope tough, clear, reliable, and predictable, as well has how the best optics maximize light gathering and minimize sun refraction and glare. We talk through internal mechanisms and lens coatings and magnification ranges and recoil testing and so much more. What an inspiring conversation! ENJOY! FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!
