Choosing the Right Optics and Mounts

Optic Type by Application

Red dots dominate defensive and competition shooting where speed matters. We stock models ranging from €150 for solid recreational options to €500+ for duty-grade units with extended battery life. Magnified scopes suit hunting sights applications and precision rifle work – our inventory includes fixed power models starting around €200 and variable magnification optics reaching €800+ for premium glass. Holographic weapon sights occupy a middle ground with rapid acquisition and work well for tactical applications, typically priced €400-€700 in our selection.

Mounting Compatibility

Mounting determines whether your optic actually fits your firearm. Standard Picatinny rails accept most modern optic mounts directly. Glock and similar pistols with factory optic cuts need specific glock optic plates matching your sight’s footprint – we stock adapter plates covering popular configurations. AK platforms present unique challenges since most lack top rails. Our ak optics mount selection includes side rail attachments, dust cover replacements with integrated rails, and gas tube mounting systems. Prices for ak optic mount hardware range from €45 for basic solutions to €130 for quick-detach systems maintaining zero. We also carry optic riser mounts when you need additional height for proper cheek weld or to clear magnifiers and iron sights.

Budget Considerations

We stock european optics and accessories across price ranges. Entry-level shooting optics start around €120-€180, offering solid performance for recreational use. Mid-tier weapon optics (€250-€450) provide enhanced durability, better glass clarity, and longer battery life suitable for serious hobbyists and competition. Premium firearms optics exceed €500, delivering maximum reliability, superior optical quality, and features like motion-activation or thermal weapon sight technology. Don’t overlook mounting costs – budget €30-€80 for basic mounts and plates, more for specialized solutions like red dot optic mounting kits with multiple height options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between red dots and holographic sights?

Red dots use LED emitters reflecting off a lens, while holographic sights project a laser hologram onto the viewing window. Holographic weapon sights typically offer wider viewing windows and maintain reticle accuracy from extreme viewing angles, but they cost more and consume batteries faster. We stock both types – red dots generally range €150-€600 in our inventory, while holographic options start around €400 and reach €700+ for premium models.

Do I need special mounts for AK optics?

Yes, most AK rifles require dedicated mounting solutions since they lack standard Picatinny rails found on modern firearms. We stock side rail mounts that attach to the AK’s receiver rail, dust cover replacements with integrated top rails, and railed gas tube systems. Prices range from €45 for basic side mounts to €130 for quick-detach systems that maintain zero when removed and reinstalled.

How much should I budget for optics and mounting?

Plan €150-€250 total for budget setups including a basic red dot and mount. Mid-range configurations with quality optics and proper mounting hardware typically run €300-€500. Premium setups with top-tier shooting optics, quick-detach mounts, and accessories like optic riser mounts or backup sights can exceed €600-€800. Remember that specialized platforms like AK rifles need dedicated ak47 optic mounts adding €45-€130 to your total investment.
