That now brings us to the topic of rifle scopes with magnification.
Secondly, how close do you want to shoot?
Sounds nearly too close and too far at the same time, right?
This affords the shooter a greater field of view and better awareness of their surroundings.
This can be exceedingly valuable for defense or hunting situations.

Practical Considerations
Another consideration aside from the magnification of your optic is the size and weight.
Most modern sporting rifles are viewed as mobile firearms something someone can easily carry or sling over their shoulder.
While it might appear cool for social media and your range buddies, it will fail a practicality test.
The only thing that might deter some people is the price that comes along with it.
Good rifle scopes can start around $200 and easily exceed $2,000 fairly quickly.
Be safe out there, and happy shooting!
