Goldilocks Riflescopes: Four scopes that are just right for ringing steel and scoring on big game hunts

Riflescope design and market appeal are a little like Goldilocks’ beds and porridge, swinging from too basic (second-plane duplex reticles in 3-9×42 configurations) to too complicated (first-plane precision reticles in monster 5-30×56 configurations).
