Top Selling Osprey Scopes In 2021 So Far:

There are so many options for Osprey scopes and accessories. New products come out regularly and different guns and calibers come in and out of favor. You may want a compact scope or be searching for the best priced tactical scopes. There is also no counting for personal preference, you may only shoot with 1-6 scopes while other people will only shoot with their 1000 yard scope. The following list of Osprey Scopes is the top five most purchased optics in 2021. Some are tactical scopes, while others are popular as AR optics. This by no means is a definitive list of Osprey Globals best scopes but more an idea of what is popular right now in July 2021.

Number one rated Osprey Scope: The Compact Scope.

Number two rated Osprey Scope: The 1000 yard scope. ( 10-40x50 MDG/IRF )

Number three rated Osprey Scope: The 1-6 scope.

Number four rated Osprey Scope: The elite series 4-16x50 tactical scope

Number five rated Osprey Scope: The First Focal Plane 3-30 Tactical Scope.

#1: Osprey Globals Compact Scope: The CP3-9x42MDG/IRF

Osprey Scopes all time best seller is far and away the compact 3-9x42MDG/IRF. It has a large eye relief almost like a pistol scope. It is also short and compact making it perfect for an AR optic. This is often the first osprey scope our customers experience, either at a show or on a friend's AR. It has clarity, speed and comfort which makes this one of Osprey GLobals most popular tactical scopes. There is zero surprise that this scope has been the most purchased AR optic from Osprey Global yet again.

#2: Osprey scopes 1000 yard scope: Osprey Global 10-40x50 MDG/IRF.

Osprey scopes original 1000 yard scope. The Osprey scope 10-40x50 MDG/IRF has been a staple of the Osprey scope range for over 8 years now and it is the longest range tactical scope in the signature range. If you want a 1000 yard scope and beyond it will get you on target every time but is relatively inexpensive. The turrets are ⅛ inch so you can do precision shooting at any distance. The main drawback of the 10-40x50 Osprey scope is that it is difficult to get on target quickly. You wouldn’t call it a tactical scope, but for medium to long range targets and hunting it is some of the best value you will get in relation to the results you recieve. Not popular with AR platforms but ever since the 6.5 creedmoor round has become popular in 2021, the popularity of this 1000 yard scope has also grown in popularity and we can see why.

#3 Osprey scope for tactical situations: The 1-6 scope.

Another all time favourite Osprey Scope is the 1-6 scope. It can do so much as a tactical scope but it is also very compact and lite. The true one power optic is perfect for three gun competition, hog hunting and CQB situations. The competition turrets make sighting in a simple affair ( Esp if using a bore sight). Having the 1-6 scope in the top five is no surprise considering the influx of AR platforms and the surge in the need for tactical scopes.

# 4 Osprey Scope for Hunting : Ospreys elite series 4-16x56 MDG

This is the most popular hunting scope with Osprey Global right now. The elite series 4-16x56 MDG is phenomenal in low light considering it has the 56 mm objective and the patent design that makes efficient use of the available light. You rarely need any more magnification than the top magnification of 16 power unless hunting elk or other big game. The low power of 4 helps you retain it as a tactical scope. Mix the four power and Osprey Globals famous eye relief with an angry hog and you will get be able to get on target quick….Hopefully

#5 Osprey Scope For Precision Shooting: Osprey Scopes 3-30 x56 First Focal Plane

If you want to dedicate to targets and long range shooting more and more people are converting to First Focal Plane. The easiest way to explain the First Focal Plane is that as you zoom out and your image gets bigger, your reticle will also get bigger in proportion to the target. This means that you do not have to re do your math and can use the same holdovers and drop calculations because the reticle is in the same spot in regards to the target. 

Osprey Scopes 3-30 is a dream to shoot. It has a large magnification range so you can be comfortable on any target range from 50 to 1500 yards. The First Focal Plane is a really fun style of shooting that helps you really understand what's happening with your reticle and bullet. The 3-30 has a 35 mm tube coupled with the 56 mm objective so the light gathering and clarity at any distance is truly crystal clear. It is also equipped with Pop-And-Lock turrets and definite audible clicks making adjustments simple and precise.

Osprey Scopes : Built to Last.

All of the above optics have laser etched reticles and the glass is held in with Loc-Tite epoxy. This means that all the osprey scopes listed are fifty cal rated. The 1-6 scope all the way through to the 10-40x50 MDG/IRF scopes are built to take abuse and punishment and come back on target.

The Osprey Global Glass:

Osprey use the multi coated HOYA lenses in all of the above optics. From tactical scopes to compact optics, they all have the same high quality glass. It is also multi coated which means it will transition the light efficiently. This is why Osprey Scopes perform so well in a low lit situation.

First Focal Plane vs Second Focal Plane:

Osprey scopes come in both first focal plane and second focal plane. Most people are used to the second focal plane but more and more people are seeing the benefits of first focal plane. It reduces the amount of math you have to do for when you are shooting at a distance that requires drop calculation and a steady hand.
