Frequently Asked Questions
What do the numbers on a rifle scope mean?
The numbers on a rifle scope in NZ (3-9×40, for example) represent its key specs. The first numbers (3-9x) indicate the magnification range—how much closer the target appears compared to the naked eye.
The second number (40) refers to the objective lens diameter in millimetres, which affects light-gathering ability. Larger objective lenses generally provide brighter images, especially in low-light conditions.
Which brands of rifle scopes are most popular or reliable in New Zealand?
Several brands have earned strong reputations among New Zealand’s shooting enthusiasts for their durability and optical quality. Leupold, Vortex, and Butler Creek are some of the country’s most well-respected rifle scope and scope cover brands. However, the best brand depends on your specific needs, budget, and hunting environment. Our team can help you navigate your options.
How do I find the best rifle scope for my needs?
When searching for the best gun scope for your needs, think about where and how you hunt. Consider the spots you frequent—dense bush or open country? Early mornings or full daylight? And don’t forget how much weight you’re willing to carry around all day.
For bush stalking, look for something with lower magnification and a wide field of view to help you track movement quickly. If you’re more into open country hunting, grab a scope with higher magnification to reach out for those distant shots. Remember, quality glass and good coatings make all the difference when the light’s not perfect. Ask our team for advice if you’re ever stuck on which way to go!

When you’re out in the bush, nothing beats quality glass. The right rifle scope can transform those missed opportunities into stories worth telling. At Shooters World Gore, we’ve tested our rifle scopes in NZ conditions from the Southern Alps to deep bush; we know what works!
