Here’s what to consider before buying:
Buy scopes, sights, and optics online or visit our gun shop in Parker, Colorado to look through models in person before mounting. Iron Horse Armory also serves customers from nearby cities including Castle Rock, Franktown, Centennial, and Lone Tree.
Scopes, sights, and optics themselves are not regulated as firearms, though items ordered alongside firearms follow federal guidelines and applicable Colorado requirements, which typically involve shipment to a licensed dealer and completion of a background check prior to pickup. Shipping timelines vary by product, so review checkout information carefully before placing your order.
Mounting practices, zeroing routines, and storage responsibilities may differ based on circumstances. Contact the shop directly for clarification on product compatibility, accepted identification, and current store policies.
A scope offers magnification for target identification at distance, while a red dot sight is non-magnified and projects an aiming dot for fast target acquisition at closer ranges. Each suits different shooting applications.
Red dot sights are widely popular thanks to fast target acquisition and easy use with both eyes open. Magnified scopes remain the standard for precision and long range shooting, while iron sights serve as reliable backups.
No, but many shooters benefit from optics for improved accuracy, target identification, and faster shooting. Iron sights still work well for many applications and provide a backup option if optics fail.
No, optics must be matched to the firearm’s mounting system, recoil rating, and intended use. Confirm fitment between the optic, mount, and firearm before purchasing.
Co-witnessing means iron sights align with a red dot optic so both can be used at once. This provides a backup aiming reference if the optic loses power or fails.
Bore sight first to get on paper, then fire groups at a known distance and adjust windage and elevation until rounds hit point of aim. Confirm with multiple groups before finalizing your zero.
Higher priced optics often offer better glass clarity, lens coatings, durability, and tracking accuracy. Casual shooters may find mid-tier optics sufficient, while precision and tactical users typically benefit from premium options.
Use a soft brush or air blower to remove debris first, then wipe gently with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner. Avoid abrasive cloths or paper towels, which can scratch the coatings.
