Popular Red Dot Sights Part 2: Rifles

Welcome to part 2 of our red dot series! Today, we’re going to be looking at more of our most popular red dot sights. While the title mentions rifles, these can really be used with any long gun, such as a rifle, carbine, or shotgun, as well as short-barreled rifles and shotguns. 

All of these red dots are built with the goal of providing the best in reliability and accuracy. While they may have been difficult to work with in the past, it’s now easier than ever to mount a red dot or holographic red dot sight, making your performance more reliable than ever before. If you missed reading the first part of the series on pistol red dots, you can find it here!

What Are Red Dots?

To provide a quick background, red dot sights, also known as “reflex sights,” are a popular type of sight used by shooters in a variety of settings. They work by shining a red dot from an LED onto a lens which you then look through to aim the firearm. They can provide higher levels of performance in competitive and defensive shooting, where acquiring and hitting a target as quickly as possible is key. 

However, they also can be a fun addition to a plinking or hunting setup, reducing the amount of effort needed to hit targets at range and making it easier to fire accurately. They’re also a great choice for shooters who have issues with declining vision or astigmatisms, as they provide a clear sight to look at on a single plain and reduce the eye strain that’s experienced with typical iron sights.

The way a holographic red dot works is a bit different from a reflex sight. For holographic optics, a laser diode reflects off several mirrors and then through a lens, creating a 3D effect with the reticle. They provide increased accuracy and little-to-no parallax for the shooter. However, regardless of which one you use, you’ll experience the benefits of reduced eye strain and easier target acquisition.

A Few Popular Rifle Red Dots

Having looked at the functionality and advantages of red dots, we can now explore our top picks for red dots suitable for rifles. Although this list does not encompass all optic brands available in the market, we have highlighted some of our most popular models in the red dot category.

Sig Sauer Romeo 5

Sig Sauer Romeo 5 red dot

The Sig Sauer Romeo5 compact red dot sight provides an excellent budget-friendly optic for any situation you might encounter. The Sig Romeo 5‘s ultra-low parallax point-of-aim makes it easy for you to make every shot. The point-of-impact and the red dot remain parallel to the bore of your firearm regardless of your viewing angle for precision accuracy. With the unlimited eye relief of the Romeo 5, you can aim at the target and acquire the aiming point, regardless of where your eye is positioned behind the sight.

In addition to this dependability, the Sig Romeo 5 features a battery life of 40,000+ hours thanks to the MOTAC motion-activated illumination, which stretches the lifetime of the CR2032 side-loading battery by allowing the optic to go into a powered-down mode when not in use and wake when it experiences motion. The Romeo 5 red dot is also extremely durable, being both waterproof (IPX-7 rated for complete water immersion up to 1 atmosphere) and fog-proof in its build.

Sig Sauer Romeo 5 Juliet 3 Combo 

Sig Romeo 5 and Sig Juliet 3

The Sig Sauer Romeo 5 Juliet 3 combo provides you with the flexibility you need for close-quarter and distance shooting situations. In this combo, the Sig Romeo 5 is paired with the Sig Juliet 3 flip-up magnifier to allow you the ability to switch between 1x and 3x magnification. Since it’s a flip-up magnifier, you can easily engage or disengage the Juliet 3 to help you switch between close-quarters and ranged targets. Additionally, the Juliet 3 is made of CNC-machined aluminum and is IPX-8 rated (waterproof at 20m for up to 1 hour) so it can keep up with whatever you throw at it.

EOTech HWS 512

EOTech 512 HWS red dot

The EOTech series of sights have revolutionized red dots by using holographic technology and large viewing windows to produce better accuracy. The EOTech HWS 512 is no exception to this. It delivers a  1 MOA red dot for easy precision shots that’s accompanied by a 68 MOA ring for close-quarters combat. The ring can also be used to roughly estimate shot patterns for shotguns as well. As an added bonus, the large circle dot arrangement is a great rangefinder in a pinch.

This combat-proven EOTech 512 is powered by two AA batteries and delivers roughly 2,000+ hours of performance. Since this sight takes regular batteries and has a programmable automatic shut-down timer, it’s easier to keep your sight powered and available when you need it most. This EOTech red dot is also built with durability in mind, providing you with a water and weather-resistant construction you can depend on.

Popular Red Dot Sights Part 1: Pistols

Popular Red Dots cover image

Precision and accuracy are two things all shooters strive for. The ability to make a shot with confidence and reliably hit a target, even at further distances, can be a challenging thing. However, modern technology has made it easier than ever to experience reliable and accurate performance through the development of optics like red dot sights and holographic sights. While they may have been difficult to work with in the past, it’s now easier than ever to mount one of these optics on competition pistols as well as your EDC, making your performance more reliable than ever before.

What are Red Dots?

For those that don’t know, red dot sights, also known as “reflex sights,” are a popular type of sight used by shooters in a variety of different settings. They can excel in competition and defensive shooting, where acquiring and hitting a target as quick as possible is key. However, they also can be a fun addition to a plinking or hunting setup, reducing the amount of effort needed to hit targets at range and making it easier to have precision accuracy. Because of the ease of use, they’re a great choice for shooters who have issues with declining vision or astigmatisms, as they provide a clear sight to look at on a single plain and reduce the eye strain that’s experienced with typical iron sights.


But how do they work? The construction of these scopes is actually pretty simple. They work by reflecting a red dot from an LED onto a lens which you then look through to aim the firearm. Though they take some practice to use, red dots are generally faster and easier to use than traditional iron sights, as they allow for quick target acquisition at close range and further distances. They are also useful in low light conditions, as the illuminated dot provides a clear and visible aiming point. While some shooters do use red dots by themselves, many prefer to mount a red dot sight that’s co-witnessed by iron sights, allowing them to have the iron sights available as a backup if the red dot malfunctions or dies.

Some of Our Popular Red Dots

Now that we’ve looked at how red dots work and some of the benefits they provide, we can look at some of our top red dots for pistol use. While this is not an exhaustive list of every optic or brand on the market, these are some of our favorites in the red dot category.

The lens of the Romeo 1 is aspheric, made of molded glass, and coated to allow for easy light transmittance and prevent distortion. The optic is also extremely durable, being waterproof (IPX-7 rated for complete water immersion up to 1 meter) and featuring a CNC-machined magnesium housing. It should be noted as well that additional mounting kits for other popular slide cuts are available for purchase separately.

Leupold Scopes: A Hunter’s Favorite Optic

When searching for tactical scopes or hunting scopes, you might find that your search results often end up with Leupold Optics somewhere near the top of your results. That is not a coincidence. Leupold scopes are widely regarded as one of the best hunting scopes on the market today. But their reputation does not stop with just hunting; they are commonly regarded as an all-around elite source for optical equipment. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons Leupold scopes have found their way onto firearms across America.

A Rich History in Optics

The Leupold Company – or rather, Leupold & Stevens – has over 100 years of experience in the field, with experience in surveying equipment, optical equipment for U.S. military tactical missions, water level indicators, range finders for golf pros, and most notably, firearm scopes. Leupold is a company that knows their competition will neither outlast them nor outperform them. That’s because the company has many qualities that separate them it from the rest of the industry.

Built on Core Values

A major reason Leupold withstands the test of time is that their company sticks strictly to their core values. These resonate through everything they do.

  • Desire. They love hunting, plan and simple. The freedom that comes with exploring the great American outdoors drives their employees to produce the best scopes possible.
  • Innovation. Being on the cutting edge of technology keeps the Leupold company motivated. New designs and better scopes continue to grace our firearms due to this drive.
  • Knowledge. Leupold extensively tests their product in the field before it ever hits the shelf. Understanding best practices and practical applications on the hunt helps them know how best to improve their products.
  • Discipline. Leupold refuses to stop until the job is done. They explore every possible avenue that will help them create scopes that make your life easier and your shooting better.
  • Integrity. Leupold strives to stand by their product through thick and thin, continually improving upon products in part by listening to issues that customers have had with previous models.
  • Loyalty. Leupold is faithful to both their company and their customers. They want to continue to make scopes that previous generations did.
  • Dedication. There is a purpose and drive behind what they do. Leupold strives to create an environment that is built on values that current and future generations can be proud of.
  • Teamwork. The best projects are made possible through teamwork. By working together within the company and with the firearms community, Leupold has consistently produced some of the more respected scopes on the market.

Product Suggestions

Whether you have been a longtime customer of Leupold or are just looking to try out some of their products, it is always a good idea to get some info on what you are buying. Three of their optics in particular are great for those looking for some inspiration.

LEUPOLD RIFLE MAN 3-9X40 WIDE DUPLEX MATTE

A rugged scope with a clear image, the rifleman wide helps you to capture more in your field of vision than other scopes. The ergonomic main tube stands tough out in the field to remain in pristine working condition for many years.

LEUPOLD FX-I 4X28 RIMFIRE FDPLX GLOSS

This fixed power scope has a standard multi-coat four lens system. It features a classic lockable eyepiece design. It does not have all the features of some of Leupold’s more complex designs, but it gets the job done.

LEUPOLD VX-R 4-12X40 BALL FIREDOT MATTE

A sleek rifle scope with daylight capabilities, the Ball Firedot can be used in several hunting situations. It comes with one-button illumination that gives you access to eight different intensity settings. There is a motion sensor to help you track activity in your field of vision. This scope is a technological juggernaut.

Those three provide a good sample of the range and diversity in the scopes that Leupold manufactures. Some require their user to be more tech savvy than others, but each will help you have a more successful hunt. Now that you know a little about Leupold and have seen some of the products they make, go out and do a little more research on your own. Check your favorite online gun store for many more of the high-powered Leupold scopes. You will be able to see why Leupold is the clear choice to make when purchasing a scope.

How to Improve Your Shooting Accuracy with a Gun Scope

Anyone who has ever owned a weapon knows the desire to be able to shoot with greater accuracy. The most basic way to improve your accuracy is through practice. However, sometimes that just isn’t the best way to improve your firearm handling. Taking your abilities to the next level sometimes requires improvement of your firearm to take your shooting to the next level. The addition of gun optics can be what you need to achieve the next level.

Handgun scopes and other scopes can all improve the weapons they were designed for. But how do you utilize this technology to help mold you into a better sharpshooter? Let’s take a look at some popular scopes, how to determine which one fits your needs, how to calibrate them, and how to maintain them.

Scopes and Gun Optics

No scope can perform well in every situation. Many scopes have their capabilities written on them that people can interpret, but unless you are well-versed in their meaning, you probably won’t have an idea what they mean.

Reading a Scope

A basic inscription on a scope could be 12 x 40. In this example, the 12 refers to the magnifying power of the scope and the 40 indicates the diameter in millimeters of the object lens (this is the end that you do not look through). When you use a higher magnification, less area can be viewed through the scope and the amount of light that enters the scope is limited. Working against the light restrictions of magnification is the diameter of the object lens, which allows more light to pass through the scope. This brightens the image.

Remember to consider the power ratio between power versus diameter. 4 x 32 is brighter than 12 x 40, even though the diameter is larger on the 40. Because of these problems, many scopes can now be found with variable power settings. This aspect helps adjust your optics on the fly so you can react to your environment as it changes.

The Reticle

Your crosshairs, or reticles, also play a vital role in the accuracy of your optics. They are generally one vertical and horizontal line that intersect. Where the lines cross should be the center point for where you are attempting to aim. The most common type of crosshair today is a duplex reticle, due to its ability to fit multiple needs. When you focus your scope, you will want to aim it at a light-colored wall and adjust the scope until the reticle is in sharp focus.

Buying a Scope

Ultimately, though, how do you select a scope that is right for you? Like other technologies, there always seems to be a better or different model available soon after you make your purchase that has some feature you would want to have. You must remember that scopes can always be adjusted and replaced, so you are not making a lifelong commitment.

Above all, remember to keep in mind the type of shooting you will be doing with your weapon. For target hunting, you will want a scope that is good for aiming at moving targets, like low-powered scopes tend to be. Target shooters might use a higher powered scope due to the lack of movement in the shooting style. No matter if you buy an EOTech scope or any other scope on the market, here is a short checklist of how to accurately use your new scope.

  • · Determine how far away pellets land
  • · Tune the elevation and windage for the particular condition
  • · Adjust the parallax
  • · Set crosshairs to the focal point of the target

Bore Sighting Your Rifle

At a range, set two targets at 25 meters and 100 meters respectively. Use a tripod or other securing mechanism to keep your rifle from resting on a hard surface. Remove the bolt or action. Adjust the rifle stand to center the 100-meter target when looking through the breech end. Without adjusting the position, make sure you align your cross-hairs in the center.

Enjoy your new optics and learning how to use them to increase your accuracy. Remember to practice all the other rules of responsible gun ownership once you have become a better shot. If you are looking for a night vision scope, make sure to check out this article on night vision devices.

The Best Tactical Shotgun Accessories

The shotgun has been a staple of arsenals since its inception. Whether if it is used for home defense, hunting, or another function, the shotgun always finds a way into gun owner’s homes. Though it is capable of many feats on its own, a shotgun can be improved to elevate its functionality to new heights.

Whether you are in the market for shotguns for sale or are looking to upgrade an existing firearm, there are some upgrades to your firearm that you will want to look for. This doesn’t mean that your firearm is inferior or cannot be used without accessories. It’s just if you can optimize it, why wouldn’t you? All of us want to improve the efficiency of our firearms, and accessories can take them to the next level. They can improve carrying capacity, make them easier to carry, and improve accuracy. If you have ever wanted to take your skills and firearm to the next level, then you will want to check out these four essential shotgun accessories you should have:

Tactical Shotgun Accessories

Mesa Tactical Sureshell Carrier Remington 8-12ga

Tactical shotguns require unique upgrades. Sidesaddles are an ideal way to keep additional ammo close and easily accessible. One of the biggest issues with nearly every shotgun is its magazine capacity. When you carry the magazines on the firearm with a side saddle, you alleviate some of that problem. With the Mesa Tactical Sureshell Carrier, you get a rugged and reliable tactical shotgun accessory. It also fits onto the Remington 870.

Truglo Long Bead Front Fiber Optic Shotgun Sight

Another issue many shotgun owners have is sight: not only the ability to see, but also to have an accurate idea of what they are aiming at. Target identification allows for safer use of the shotgun and better accuracy (though this is not always what shotguns are thought of when used).

The Truglo Long Bead Front Fiber Optic Shotgun Sight is one of the industry-leading bead replacements. For this shotgun accessory, the sight is red, with a fiber of 0.078” in diameter and 0.5” in length. Made out of metal and painted solid black, it fits on a Ruger or Winchester.

Grovtec USA GTAC77 Buttstock Cartridge Shell Holder

Similar to the Sidesaddle, a stock carrier can give your shotgun the additional storage it needs in situations where you find yourself needing more ammo for sale. The Grovtec USA GTAC77 is a camouflaged version of a buttstock shell holder designed to carry five additional rounds. The buttstock carrier wraps securely around the shotgun’s stock rather than screwing into the firearm like the sidesaddle.

Many people have a preference between how the additional storage is secured to the firearm due to either the screws coming out of the sidesaddle, or the Velcro coming loose on the buttstock carrier. Owning both can give you two options that will sure to have one work for your needs.

Crickett 800 Shotgun Sling

One of the best accessories for a shotgun is a sling. There are one-point, two-point, and three-point slings; but arguably the ideal for shotguns is the two-point sling. For many purposes, the one-point sling is not practical. Climbing, moving through rugged terrain, or just having to move quickly can all be problematic. The three-point sling is also too complicated for many shotgun owners. Because of this, most owners tend to lean towards the two-point sling as the favorite. The Crickett 800 sling comes in black leather embossed with the Crickett name. Its two-point design makes it a favorite for many to add to their list of shotgun accessories.

Advantages for Accessorized Shotguns

When you combine all of these choices with your current firearm, you will notice plenty of advantages. Your ability to hold more rounds closer to your shotgun can help you in situations when your average shell carrying capacity just won’t do. The two-point sling will help carry your shotgun in several situations you might find yourself in that other slings couldn’t do. Everyone will agree that having the added sights on a shotgun might not seem necessary at first. However, once they try them they will never know how they fired a shotgun without laser sights.

Guns: Everything You Need to Know

Since its invention, the gun has been a staple of human society. Its use has changed the course of history. Guns have also undergone some major changes since the Chinese first developed gunpowder in the 9th century. Though there is centuries of information on firearms, that does not mean you can learn everything you need to know about guns. Whether you are an experienced gun owner, looking for guns for sale online, or just want to gain some more information about firearms in general; there is something that everyone can learn.

Types of Guns

The evolution and progression of the gun has led to many subcategories of firearms. Arms has a broad range that fit under that definition, and so does firearms. Here are some of the most common:

Rifle

These firearms are designed to be fired from the shoulder. They have a barrel with a helical groove cut into the wall.

Shotgun

These firearms are designed to be fired from the shoulder. They discharge ammunition that is filled with small spherical pellets (shot) or solid projectiles known as slugs.

Musket

These are a large-caliber firearm that is muzzle-loading. These heavy smoothbore firearms are fired from the shoulder and were carried by infantrymen.

Handgun

These are firearms that can be held in one hand; most notably, the pistol or revolver.

Artillery

These are firearms that can fire distances much greater than the typical range and power of shoulder or hand-fired guns. These are just a few of the most commonly seen firearms. There is still a wide variety of subcategories that comprise the entire spectrum of firearms.

Ammo

Ammo is the material that is fired from a gun. When dealing with a firearm, this term generally refers to shot, shrapnel, bullets, shells, cartridges, or slugs. It comes in a variety of different sizes for fit different calibers of firearms. Ammo can also come designed for specific purposes, including non-lethal and target, to name a couple. Commonly known as rounds, ammunition is held within magazines or loaded directly into the barrel of a gun before firing.

Firearm Accessories

For all the different varieties of firearms, there are equally as many accessories made for them. Scopes, rails, grips, suppressors – the list is nearly endless. They can improve firearms performance, increase ammunition carry capacity, or provide an aesthetic difference.

Magazines

For firearms that can fire multiple shots in succession, the ammunition must be stored on the firearm so that it can be reloaded instantly. Most are detachable so that they can be reloaded. The main function of the magazine is to move cartridges into a position from which they can be loaded into the chamber of the firearm.

Scope, Optics, & Mounts

Improving shooting accuracy is something that every marksmen needs or wants to do. An ideal way to do this is through the use of scopes, optics, and mounts commonly known as sights. These accessories assist with the aiming of a firearm, aligning a firearm, and viewing objects from a distance. Some also project a target or aiming point to show a detailed image of where your shot will make contact.

Gun Uses

Hunting

A pastime, a coming of age, and a way of putting food on the table; hunting is one of the major activities than involves the use of a firearm. Though it is not necessary to use a firearm – many hunters use bows or traps – they are commonly associated with the hunting world. Rifles are made to take down animals from as large as a rhino to as small as a squirrel. There is a vast difference between the two firearms, in large part because what will take down a rhino would obliterate a squirrel and what would successfully kill a squirrel would not do much damage to a rhino. Hunting firearms are as diverse as the animals that are our prey.

Range and Sport Shooting

Recreational shooting is one of the greatest pastimes for avid gun enthusiasts. There are numerous international competitions that showcase an individual or team’s ability in marksmanship. From skeet or target shooting to competitions, range, and sport shooting; they feature a wide variety of firearms fired under countless situations.

Self Defense

Firearms have been used for defense since their inception. Being able to protect your country, state, community, and home is the basis for the second amendment and the right of every individual. Self-defense firearms can be handguns, shotguns, rifles, and a myriad of other firearms. Being comfortable using your firearm against invaders is the first step to securing the self-defense firearm that is right for you. There is arguably no better reason to buy a gun than for self-protection.

Handling Guns Safely

The old saying “a gun is not a toy” is true on so many levels. Proper handling and safety of a firearm is imperative to the livelihood of the owner of the firearm and the people they come in contact with. Following gun laws and regulations is important for every responsible gun owner. Adhering to the standards of safety for your firearm will ensure a safer environment for everyone.

Cleaning Guns

Maintaining your firearm is crucial for is functionality and durability. When a firearm is dirty or clogged, it can cause misfires or backfires that can result in injury or fatality. Routinely clean your firearm to make sure it is working at optimal performance.

While this is a good start for getting you informed on everything you need to know about guns, you will be learning about firearms for the rest of your life. Keep reading, researching, and shooting. Get your gun for sale, ammo for sale, and any accessories at GrabaGun today!

Picking a New Gun Laser

Gun Lasers at GrabAGun

Selecting a Gun Laser

My first gun laser was mounted on a 9mm carbine. I received a lot of comments along the line of, “if you can’t acquire a target you don’t need a gun.” One of these men lost every single calf born that year to coyotes. One Saturday after a group of us had been coyote hunting, and seeing how many more I was able to take down with a laser, half of them were soon on the internet comparing lasers and other gun parts and accessories.

When sighting with a scope to target one coyote the others are running at the sound of the first shot, leaving insufficient time to draw a bead on coyotes running the 30 to 50 ft. to the woods. The laser does not require me to sight my target, I simply point the laser on the target, fire, and have it on another before they can disappear into the woods.

A laser will increase your accuracy and target acquisition speed. Having a laser is no reason to stop practicing. Any equipment will eventually fail so keep plinking on the range, with and without the laser.

Multiple Options to Choose From

That said, with the large number of options available today, you will need to do some homework when making a choice. First, you will need to answer some questions before you begin your search:

  • What firearm are you mounting the laser on? The manufacturer, model, caliber, and length of the barrel will matter. How the laser sight will be mounted is all important.
  • Whether you will be shooting in the day or night will affect your laser choice and color.
  • Whether you will or will not be mounting a light or night vision will be a consideration.
  • If the weapon will be used in a holster will also be a factor.

Knowing these answers before you buy will avoid the mistake of a laser that’s insufficient, that you can’t mount on your gun, or that won’t fit into your holster.

Some pistols will accommodate red or green lasers while others are too small for anything but red. Holster fit may be another consideration. You can probably use the same holster with a grip or slide mount laser, but are almost certain to need another holster with a rail mount. I would recommend a laser to anyone considering one. If you are planning to customize a weapon with new gun parts and accessories I would definitely recommend a laser.

Installing Your Laser

Finally, you may be asking if you can install a laser yourself. That depends upon the weapon and laser, as well as your skills in installing gun parts and accessories. The best advice is to ensure a purchase of a laser made for your weapon, model, barrel length and caliber specifically.

Some lasers come with great instructions (and sometimes the tools) for mounting and adjusting. Other laser manufacturers require that you ship your unloaded firearm to their factory for mounting. Your warranty may be voided unless shipped to the manufacturer for the mounting of any gun accessories. The variables are going to depend upon the specifics of your weapon and your choice of laser.

Lasers at GrabAGun

If you are considering the purchase of a new pistol for sale or a rifle for sale, you can order a model with a factory installed laser. Once you try it, I have no doubts many more people will be impressed.
