Scope, among [[gun enthusiast]]s, [[hunter]]s and [[sniper]]s, refers to an optical device that assists in [[shooting]] [[accuracy]]. The purpose of [[sight]]s is to hit your [[target]]. If your [[vision]] has deteriorated enough that you cannot effectively use [[iron sight]]s at [[long range]], or if you expect lots of low-light [[combat]], then a quality [[optical sight]] is necessary for your [[battle rifle]].

To quote ''[[Boston's Gun Bible]]'',  "As soon as you add a scope to a [[hunting rifle]], liberals call it a "[[sniper rifle]]". This is [[politically correct]] [[PolSpeak]] for any [[rifle]] with a [[scope]]. The [[hoplophobia|anti-gun]] pols are finally realizing the awesome capability of scoped, [[high-power]]ed rifles, which make the [[AK-47]] look puny by comparison. As I predicted in 1998, this pejorative term is becoming a [[gunphobe]] buzzphrase (like "cult," "[[compound]]," "[[patriot]]," "[[militia]]," "[[Saturday night special]]s," "[[assault weapon]]s" and "[[cop killer]] [[bullet]]s")."<ref>[[Boston T.
