      Buying Rifle Scopes Under $1000 in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists about 380 rifle scopes under $1,000 with around 200 available today: Hawke (58 lines), Bushnell (53), Vortex (44), Nikko Stirling (40), Sig Sauer (31), Zerotech (21), Simmons (20), Optisan (20), GPO (18), Burris (12), Tasco, Leupold and Element Optics. The range covers rimfire and air rifle scopes, 3-9x40 hunting scopes, 4-16x and 6-24x varmint and target scopes and low-power 1-6x optics.

      Scopes start at about $110, a quarter of the range is under $300, the median scope is about $490 and the top of this bracket is $999. No licence is needed, delivery is a flat $20 Australia-wide (free over $700) and every scope carries the Australian distributor's warranty.

      For most hunting rifles a 3-9x40 or 3-12x44 with a duplex or illuminated reticle is the sensible buy; for a .22 or air rifle a 3-9x or 4-12x with parallax adjustment down to 10 metres; for foxes and long paddock shots a 4-16x50 or 6-24x50 with target turrets. Bring your rifle in and we will fit rings, level the scope and bore-sight it before you leave.

      • PricesRifle scopes from about $110 with a quarter of the range under $300; the median scope is about $490 and the bracket tops out at $999. Flat $20 delivery Australia-wide, free over $700.

      Common questions

      What is the best rifle scope under $1,000 for hunting in Australia?
      Popular choices with our customers are the Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40, Bushnell Prime and Nitro 3-9x and 4-12x, Hawke Vantage and Endurance 3-9x40 and 4-16x44, Zerotech Thrive HD, Nikko Stirling Diamond and the Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40. All are proof against Australian recoil and weather and carry local warranties.
      Do I need a licence to buy a rifle scope?
      No. Rifle scopes are unrestricted in every Australian state and can be posted to any address. Only the rifle they are mounted on needs a licence.
      What scope should I put on a .22 rifle?
      A 3-9x40 or 4-12x40 with adjustable parallax down to 10 or 15 metres suits a .22 LR for rabbits and targets. Hawke, Bushnell, Nikko Stirling and Zerotech rimfire scopes in this bracket cost $150 to $400.
      First or second focal plane for a hunting scope?
      For hunting under 300 metres a second focal plane scope with a simple reticle is cheaper and easier to use. First focal plane scopes, where the reticle scales with magnification, suit long-range shooters who use holdovers and are available in this bracket from Vortex, Hawke and Element Optics.
      Can you mount my new scope?
      Yes. Buy the scope and rings from us and we will fit, level and bore-sight the scope at Roseville Chase, usually while you wait. We stock Warne, Talley, Weaver, Leupold, Sportsmatch and Vortex rings and bases.
