HOUSTON, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AR-15-style rifles are among the most popular guns in the United States, with 20 million modern sporting rifles legally in circulation, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The use of optics adds a number of benefits such as improved shooting accuracy, longer range, enhanced self-confidence and better experience.

Key Points: 
  • Natchez Shooters Supplies outlined the key features of red dot sights and magnified scopes to compare performance and recommend solutions for AR-15s.
  • Experts at Natchez Shooters Supplies , a one-stop-shop for all outdoor needs, compared red dot sights and magnified scopes to recommend the best option for an AR-15 rifle.
  • The red dot sight is a non-magnifying optical device that uses a red or green LED dot in the center.
  • Red dot sights , Natchez experts explained, are typically:
    Characterized by a glowing simple reticle, making cross hairs visible in situations with insufficient light
    In comparison, a magnified scope zooms in on faraway targets, providing increased long-distance accuracy.
