The right optic makes any rifle more accurate and easier to shoot. Match the sight to how far you shoot and how fast you need to get on target.
Scopes
Variable scopes like a 3-9x or 4-16x cover most hunting and target shooting. Look for clear glass, reliable turrets and a reticle you can see in low light.
Red dots and holographic sights
Fast, both-eyes-open sighting out to a hundred yards or more. Add a magnifier for longer shots. A favorite on AR-15s and defensive rifles.
Iron sights
Simple, light and always ready. Every rifle owner should know how to use them, even as a backup.
