AR-15 Optics

The AR-15 is the most versatile rifle platform on the planet, and the right optic transforms it. Whether you want a lightning-fast red dot for close quarters, a do-it-all LPVO, a battery-free prism, or a holographic sight paired with a flip-to-side magnifier, this collection brings together every optic in our range suited to AR-15 and AR-pattern rifles — dispatched fast from the UK.

Shop by type: rifle red dot sights for speed, LPVO rifle scopes for versatility, holographic sights and prism scopes, plus magnifiers to extend a red dot's reach. Top brands include Holosun, EOTech, Trijicon, SIG Sauer and Primary Arms. Don't forget a mount at the right height.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best optic for an AR-15?
It depends on your use. For close-range speed, a 1x red dot or holographic sight is ideal; for a mix of close and distance, an LPVO (1-6x or 1-10x) or a red dot + magnifier combo is hard to beat.

Red dot or LPVO for an AR-15?
A red dot is lighter, faster and more affordable; an LPVO adds magnification for positive target ID and longer shots at the cost of weight. Many shooters run a red dot on a lightweight build and an LPVO on a general-purpose rifle.

What mount height do I need on an AR-15?
A lower-1/3 co-witness or 1.93" mount gives a comfortable heads-up cheek weld on an AR-15 — see our red dot sight mounts.
