Mike Fellon
Founder & Lead Reviewer
Hello, Fellow Hunter
My name is Mike Fellon — creator of ScopesReviews and the biggest hunting hothead in the Lone Star State. I've always been fascinated by the attention, dedication, and focus associated with hunting, and I've dedicated my career to it.
No hunting rifle is complete without the right scope. That's why I built this site — to give fellow hunters all the information they need to get the best scopes for the best experience in the field.
I've tested more scopes than I can count. Many products you see online are total rubbish. My guides cut through the noise so you only hunt with the best.
More About MeHow I Review Rifle Scopes
Field Testing
Every scope undergoes extensive real-world field trials — not just bench tests. I take them into conditions you'll actually face in the field.
Objective Comparison
Objective measurements combined with practical experience. Each scope is compared against competitors in the same price range.
Honest Verdict
No sponsorships influence my ratings. If a scope is rubbish, I say so. You get the truth — not a paid recommendation.
