Optics are devices that help the shooter place shots more accurately and rapidly. Scopes add magnification and fine reticle adjustments for long-range precision. Red dots and reflex sights offer fast target acquisition at close to medium ranges. Lasers provide instant point-of-aim reference. Night vision and thermal systems let you operate in low light or zero-visibility conditions. Spotting scopes and range finders support load development and holdover calculations at the range.
Select optics suited to your cartridge’s effective range and recoil profile. Common pairings stocked at Gunner HQ include:
Each brand covers different price points and specialties. Our staff helps match a model’s features to your intended shooting distances and platform recoil.

What magnification do I need for deer hunting with a .270 caliber rifle?
For typical deer ranges, a 3–9x or 4–12x variable scope offers a good balance of target acquisition and ballistic correction. If you expect extended ranges beyond 300 yards, step up to 6–24x with a fine reticle for precise holdovers.
Can I mount a red dot on a shotgun for upland hunting?
Yes. Low-mass red dots mounted with low-profile bases work well on shotguns, helping you acquire fast-moving birds without adding significant weight or changing the shotgun’s natural point of aim.
When should I choose thermal over night vision?
Choose thermal when you need to detect heat signatures in total darkness, fog, or foliage. Night vision boosts available light for image clarity but performs worse in obscured environments. AGM Global VISION systems cover both categories at different price points.
How do I zero a scope for a high-recoil caliber like .50 BMG?
Use heavy-duty mounts, confirm torque specs, and start with a secure rest at a known range. Use the scope’s tall turret travel and make incremental adjustments, then recheck zero after a live-fire session to confirm return-to-zero stability.
How often should I service optics used in harsh conditions?
Inspect optics after every outing in dust, rain, or salt air. Clean lenses with lens-safe products and check mounts and torques. Perform a full service, including disassembly of mounts and re-torque, once or twice per season for heavy-use optics.
