What percent of your firearm collection has optics?

[Iowashooter]

We don’t need or want to know how many firearms you have… just what percent of the total have optics? (Scopes, dot sights)

As I age… (and so too my eyes) the percent is rising

I’m at 44%

includes many on long guns and several on handguns too

I want to know the crossover between people who use scopes and people who wear backpacks.

All irons, all the time. I've never enjoyed using scopes, and I rarely have a need to hit anything more than 50 yards away.

Rifles, about 60%. Pistols, 0%.

I see it 2 ways 1) My vision as I get older
2) optics increase the value over all.

Most my rifles have some form of optic, I haven't switched any pistols over to dots yet. I have noticed over the years less & less rifles come with iron sights... with the exception of most .22s have irons.

Pistols ~2%
Rifles ~30%
Shotguns - 0%

Long guns, mostly. Lousy eyesight that isn't getting better.

72 years old, rifles 100%, handguns 0%.

Optics add another source of error. If i do my part my pistol or rifle will perform with accuracy and reliability. My battery hasn't run down yet!

Yep, as long as I can put the front sight between the notch in the rear blur and center it on the blur I'm aiming at, I'm good to go.

I have a few handguns and shotguns with Red dot sights on them.
All of my rifles have scopes.

You can't shoot what you can't see!

I put a Trijicon SRO on my Sig 226 when I added the suppressor, because the factory sights were to low & would need to be replaced. I really like that SRO on that set up. If only I could find someone to make a suitable holster with the suppressor on.

Why? Who cares what I do.

Try different stuff, see what works for you. Question is ambiguous.
