-===Different Optics for Different Rifles===
+===Different optics for different rifles===
 As battle rifles, [[battle carbine]]s, and [[tactical rifle]]s solve different (though occasionally overlapping) problems, their optics will be somewhat specialized.
 ====Battle Rifle Optics====
-[[Battle rifle optic]]s include for example [[Burris]] [[3-9x]] Fullfield II.  According to Boston T Party, "Optics must be very rugged and versatile. Rugged because a [[.308]] [[MBR]] has hefty [[recoil]] and sees hard use. Versatile because the battle rifle will be employed for everything from [[CQB]] to precision work. Hence, it must have a quickly acquired [[point of aim]], as well as [[range finding]] [[stadia line]]s and a [[BDC]]. The [[scope mount]] should be see-through in order to have immediate use of the [[iron sight]]s. While I have a lot of experience with the I.O.R. M2 4x units, the [[Burris]] Fullfield II [[ballistic]]-Plex scopes have now gained my favor as very affordable and rugged [[optic]]s for battle rifles."<ref>Ibid. 103 word [[James Wesley Rawles#Quotes_from_Other_Online_Sources|Fair Use]] [[quotation]]. Page 18/2</ref>

 ====Battle Carbine Optics====
-[[Battle carbine optic]]s include for example the [[ACOG]].  According to Boston, "Optics must be rugged, [[lightweight]], and offer very fast [[target]] acquisition for CQB. A circle, dot, or triangle [[point of aim]] is the norm, and it should be illuminated at all times day or night (e.g., ACOG "BAC" system with [[tritium]]). [[Distance]] stadia lines are nice (e.g., ACOG), but not absolutely necessary (e.g., the AUG's 5[[MOA]] 'doughnut of death"). As in battle rifles, the scope mount should also be see-through if possible."<ref>Ibid. 72 word [[James Wesley Rawles#Quotes_from_Other_Online_Sources|Fair Use]] [[quotation]]. Page 18/2</ref>

 ====Tactical Rifle Optics====
-[[Tactical rifle optic]]s include for example the Shepherd 310-P2.  According to Boston, "If you needed to make a 250 [[yard]] [[head shot]] or 600yd [[body shot]], this is the rifle you'd want. (Also called a "[[precision rifle]]" or "[[countersniper]]" rifle.) Hence, it will have something like a [[3-9x]] [[magnification]] scope with at least 1/2MOA adjustments (if not 1/4MOA). The [[reticle]] will likely be [[Mil Dot]], and the scope will have a [[BDC]]. Some [[battle rifle optic]]s make for very competent [[tactical]] applications, such as the [[Burris]] [[Ballistic]]-Plex units. Because of the higher [[accuracy]] requirement, these [[rifle]]s are often, if not usually, [[bolt action]]s. But, not always. An [[M14]] can make a fine [[tactical rifle]] if tuned to <1 1/4M0A accuracy."<ref>Ibid. 108 word [[James Wesley Rawles#Quotes_from_Other_Online_Sources|Fair Use]] [[quotation]]. Page 18/2</ref>
