Browse a Variety of Rifle Optics for Sale by Users on GunBroker.com When it is time to hit the target with your rifle, which optic are you using? There are a few major options, and each has different applications. No matter what kind of optic you need for your rifles, from Magpul Back-Up Iron Sights to a Vortex scope or Aim point red dot sight, you can find optics for sale and auction from users of GunBroker.com. Here are the different types of optics you will find.

Iron Sights These are the “default� sights on a rifle and can sometimes be part of the rifle itself or come with a set from the factory, such as with the Ruger Mini 30. The front-mounted sight is typically post, bead, ring, or ramp. The rear-mounted sight is either an aperture sight with a circular hole or an open sight with a notch. Most have adjustable elevation or windage.

Red Dot Sights A red dot sight is usually a non-magnified optic that uses a battery-powered, LED-emitted red dot. Red dot sights give a better field of view than iron sights, giving you a clearer sight picture.

Red dot sights are nearly parallax-free, as there is no magnification to contend with. They offer faster target acquisition than iron sights, are very light compared to scopes, and can be used for many applications, from competitions to hunting.

Holographic Sights Are you looking to add an optic to your Rock River Arms LAR 15? Holographic sights are an alternative to red dot sights, also displaying a red dot. In a holographic sight, the dot is usually surrounded by a circle which aids in acquiring your target. In a red dot sight, the LED is emitted against the front glass of the optic. Holographic sights differ in that they bounce the laser to the back glass towards the user. The reticle appears to be on the front glass to the shooter but is instead a hologram. If you have astigmatism, holographic sights are your best bet. They can be faster in acquiring targets compared to red dot sights thanks to eye focus, and unlike red dot sights, the reticle is not magnified. While they are more durable, holographic sights pack in more technology than red dot sights, causing them to be bigger, heavier, and more expensive.

Telescopic Scopes The telescopic scope, often referred to only as a scope, is what you want if you are doing longdistance target shooting. Scopes come in either fixed power or variable power, which allows you to zoom in and out. Scopes are perfect for both hunting rifles and those looking to hit targets far downrange. Because they sit above the rifle, scopes have a parallax—the difference between where the scope is mounted compared to the barrel, and so the zero of the rifle is often set between 100 and 300 feet or meters.
