A good optic helps you get on target faster and land more hits, which is exactly why most players upgrade from iron sights as soon as they can. Whether you run a snappy red dot for close-quarters speed or a magnified scope for reaching out across a field, the right sight transforms how effectively you shoot. And a lens protector keeps that optic safe from incoming BBs.
We stock airsoft optics and protectors from Nuprol, SOTAC, Holy Warrior, Feyachi, and more, covering red dot sights, magnified scopes, RMR-style micro dots, and the lens protectors that keep them safe. Browse the range below and aim with confidence.
For most airsoft, a red dot sight is the fastest way to aim. It projects an illuminated dot onto a single lens, and you simply put the dot on the target and fire, with no need to line up front and rear sights. Red dots are quick to acquire, work at any range airsoft realistically reaches, and suit the close to mid-range engagements that make up most games.
We stock everything from full-size red dots like the Holy Warrior S1 to compact RMR-style micro dots like the SOTAC adjustable RMR, which sit low and light on a pistol or as a backup on a rifle. The Feyachi RDS-25 comes with a riser mount to get it to the right height on a rifle.
If you play longer-range woodland or run a DMR or sniper rifle, a magnified scope helps you identify and engage targets at distance. Variable scopes like the NP Optics 1-5×24 give you the best of both worlds, dialling down to 1x for close work and up to 5x for reaching out, while fixed scopes like the Nuprol 4×32 keep things simple. Many include an illuminated reticle for low-light use.
Here is the kit that saves you money. A direct BB hit can crack or scratch an optic lens, and a good optic is not cheap to replace. A lens protector is a clear or mesh shield that mounts over the front of your sight and takes the hit instead. Protectors like the Rebel Precision mounted sight protector and EOTech-style lens protector are inexpensive and well worth fitting to any optic you care about.
To mount your optic at the right height, see our mounts and rail covers, and do not forget eye protection for yourself in our tactical gear range.
For most airsoft, a red dot is the better choice. It is fast to aim, works well at the close to mid ranges most games involve, and suits run-and-gun play. A magnified scope is worth it if you run a DMR or sniper rifle and regularly engage at longer range. A 1-5x variable scope is a good compromise if you want both.
It is strongly recommended. A direct BB hit can crack or scratch your optic’s lens, and replacing a good sight is far more expensive than a protector. A clear or mesh lens protector mounts over the front of the optic and takes the hit instead, making it cheap insurance for any sight you value.
It depends on the sight and your gun. Pistol-style RMR micro dots sit low, while rifle red dots often need a riser to bring them to a comfortable cheek-weld height, sometimes called a lower-third or absolute co-witness height. Some optics include a riser, like the Feyachi RDS-25. Check the mount height suits your rifle and your shooting position.
