Picking a sight to put on your rifle probably takes longer than actually picking the rifle itself, at least in my experience. I’m still struggling to find the perfect match with zero expectation it even exists, and that’s half the joy really. Every optic seems to shine in its own way, but only one really attempts to create the best of all possible worlds.
Now, in all honesty, my favorite way to shoot a rifle for recreational range days is normally with plain Jane iron sights, preferably ones that include a rear peep aperture. But I have had a few flings with red dots, non-variable optics, and scopes. Hence, I now have an expensive drawer filled with extra sights.
If you don’t want to create that same drawer with your own money, you might want to consider something like the U.S. Optics TS-6X 1-6x24mm I’ve been testing on a variety of guns. It’s mostly lived on my ZRO Delta rifle and has proven not only the value of an optic but the value of a low-power variable optic, or LPVO, in particular.
