You're all ****ing stupid for owning precision rifles. There is no possible reason to ever own one, because you're never going to need to use it. Pistols, and carbines are much more realistic.
Precision guns, semi, and bolt are totally useless.
I'll PM you guys later with my address so you can send the guns to me, so I can get rid of them for you.
We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
I like the extra challenge of shooting at distance, but barring that... I don't really have a legitimate "reason" for owning an AR with a scope on it.
At least that sounds legitimate and reasonable to people who don't "get it", anyways.

Basically, it is a personal decision as to whether or not you mount or use a scope on a rifle.
The idea behind using scopes on rifles has been repeatedly justified by both the British and American military forces. The British started it off by going to the SUSAT. We brought scopes to bear with our ACOG. Scopes do more than just help make a long distance shot. A tactical scope enhances overall accuracy for shots also done at close range. A tactical scope like a Millett DMS-1 really isn't for long range more than it is for increasing speed of engagement and increasing accuracy. EOTech scopes get used like the Millett DMS-1 scope as does the Aimpoint. So if you opt to use a scope, it is your decision. You can select one for close range combat, long range precision or to be used to offset low light conditions like nighttime and dark areas in buildings.
