Collection: Optics

Quality optics are essential equipment for hunters, shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts. At Glenwood Springs Outdoors, we carry a comprehensive selection of binoculars, rifle scopes, spotting scopes, rangefinders, and red dot sights from trusted manufacturers known for optical clarity, rugged construction, and reliable performance in Colorado's demanding conditions.

Binoculars for Hunting and Wildlife Observation
Glassing distant ridges and spotting game requires exceptional binoculars. Our selection includes compact 8x and 10x models for all-day carry, full-size 10x42 and 12x50 configurations for serious glassing, and premium models with ED glass for superior clarity and light transmission. We stock binoculars suitable for elk hunting in open country, mule deer hunting in broken terrain, and bird watching in varied habitats.

Spotting Scopes and Tripods
For long-range observation and judging trophy quality, spotting scopes are indispensable. We offer angled and straight eyepiece configurations, variable magnification from 15-45x to 20-60x, waterproof and fog-proof construction, and compatible tripods and accessories for stable viewing. Quality spotting scopes allow you to evaluate game from safe distances without spooking animals.

Rifle Scopes for Precision Shooting
Accurate shooting demands quality rifle scopes matched to your firearm and intended use. Our inventory includes low-power variables (1-4x, 1-6x) for close-range hunting, mid-range scopes (3-9x, 4-12x) for versatile applications, long-range tactical scopes with mil-dot or MOA reticles, and specialized scopes for specific calibers and shooting disciplines. We carry scopes with first focal plane and second focal plane reticles, illuminated reticles for low-light conditions, and various turret styles for elevation and windage adjustments.

Rangefinders for Accurate Distance Measurement
Modern rangefinders provide instant distance readings essential for ethical shot placement. We stock laser rangefinders with ranges from 500 to 1000+ yards, angle compensation for uphill and downhill shots, and ballistic calculators for precise holdover information.

Red Dot Sights and Accessories
For fast target acquisition on shotguns, AR-style rifles, and handguns, red dot sights offer unlimited eye relief and both-eyes-open shooting. We also carry rifle scope accessories including scope rings and bases, lens covers and protectors, and cleaning kits.
