Editorial Standards

How we publish

Every guide is written to answer a specific question a hunter would ask, in plain language, with the trade-offs stated. Specifications come from manufacturer documentation or retailer listings, and we note where sources disagree. Magnification, objective size and exit pupil are calculated, not quoted.

What evidence we use

• Manufacturer specifications and documentation
• Published independent reviews and test reports, attributed as such
• Owner feedback, treated as anecdotal
• Optical principles that can be explained and checked

What we do not claim

We do not run laboratory tests, and we do not claim hands-on field testing unless a page explicitly says we handled a product. We do not publish prices, star ratings or review counts, because they change and cannot be maintained accurately on an editorial page.

Updates and corrections

Pages show a published date and an updated date when material changes are made. If you spot an error, contact us and we will correct it in place.
