Gun Talk Staff

When you hear the name Winchester, your mind probably jumps to classic lever guns and reliable ammunition. But now, Winchester has stepped into a new arena—and they're coming in hot. Winchester Supreme Optics is a full lineup of rifle scopes, spotting scopes, and binoculars that combine practical performance with surprising value, and they’re already turning heads in the shooting and hunting community.

From rimfire plinkers to big-game setups, we got our hands on the full lineup and ran them through real-world tests. Here's what we found.

Spotting Scope – 20-60x Power That Delivers

Let’s start with the heavyweight of the lineup: the 20–60x spotting scope. It comes ready to roll right out of the box with an included tripod and features a built-in sunshade (huge win), rotating body for angled viewing at the bench, and smooth focus adjustments that hold up even at max magnification.

Whether you’re dialing in a new rifle or calling hits on steel at 800 yards, this optic handled fine adjustments without the “hunting and pecking” you get with lower-tier glass. When we cranked it up to 60x, it didn’t get soft or hazy. That’s a big deal.

Best For: Benchrest shooters, long-range sighting, match spotting


Standout Features:

  • Built-in sunshade
  • Multi-position rotating eyepiece
  • HD glass clarity even at 60x
  • Tripod included
  • Waterproof, fog-proof, shockproof construction

Rifle Scopes – From Rimfire to Long Range

Winchester Supreme Optics offers a range of rifle scopes, from 1-4x low-power variables to long-range 4-12x and beyond. These aren’t just budget throw-ons—they feature illuminated reticles, crisp HD glass, and solid tactile turrets. The 1-4x we tested was crystal clear and held zero through repeated shots with a .22 and a .308.

The scope caps? Included. The turrets? Knurled and easy to manipulate. And while you might expect some corner-cutting at this price point, Winchester clearly focused on durability and usability. It’s a true “workhorse” optic line.

Ideal Uses:

  • 1-4x: Fast-target acquisition, AR builds, hog hunting
  • 4-12x: Deer rifles, varmint control, youth hunting setups
  • Larger scopes: Precision shooting, Western big game

Binoculars – 10x50s Built for the Field

The 10x50 binoculars hit that sweet spot between power and field of view. They feature rubberized controls, a comfortable grip, and a bright, clear image even in lower light conditions. For spot-and-stalk hunters or glassing from a ridge, they’re more than capable.

Key Specs:

  • 10x magnification
  • 50mm objective lens
  • Field-ready rubber armor
  • Crisp image quality and fast focus knob

Range Feedback: These Optics Hold Their Own

What really sold us on the Winchester Supreme line is how much value you’re getting for the money. These aren’t toys—they’re serious tools that make sense for hunters, shooters, and new rifle owners alike. In our field test, even the .22LR setup felt premium thanks to the bright glass and dependable adjustments.

The spotting scope impressed with its clarity and ease of use. The rifle scopes were crisp, tracked properly, and didn’t break the bank. And the binoculars? Solid performance, especially for new hunters or as a backup pair in the pack.

Whether it’s for your own kit or your kid’s first deer rifle, this is a smart investment.
