Do you need a drive hunting scope?

During drive and harvest hunts, different conditions and requirements for the hunter's equipment apply. Unlike sitting hunts, shooting is done at short distances while moving. Identifying the target must happen in a flash, and at the same time, it is necessary to never lose sight of the surroundings - as drivers, other hunters, dogs, and during harvest hunts, harvest helpers and agricultural machinery may be moving through the shooting field.

What should a drive hunting scope be able to do?

The requirements for a drive hunting scope are, on one hand, a wide angle so that the shooter's field of view is not restricted. The scope should allow the shooter to shoot with both eyes open. Furthermore, identified game must be quickly targeted. A strong magnification is not necessary - on the contrary, it would limit the shooter's field of view even more. Scopes specialized for drive hunting have a magnification of 1-4 and a red dot to meet these requirements.

Features of a drive hunting scope

An important feature of a drive hunting scope is that the diameter of the eyepiece matches the weapon and the shooter. On one hand, a large eyepiece is more comfortable for the eye, on the other hand, a larger eyepiece requires a higher mounting on bolt-action rifles so that the chamber handle can still be easily maneuvered past it. This does not apply to straight-pull rifles. With a higher scope mounting, it is more difficult to quickly get into position - except for semi-automatics or break-action guns.

Bolt-action rifles with drive hunting scopes

Although most hunters swear by bolt-action rifles during drive hunts because they allow for quick follow-up shots, some hunters also prefer short break-action rifles because they are light, short, and therefore very maneuverable.
