Scope has several meanings.
Firearms Scope
Scope, among gun enthusiasts and hunters, refers to an optical device that assists in shooting accuracy. The purpose of sights is to hit your target. If your vision has deteriorated enough that you cannot effectively use iron sights at long range, or if you expect lots of low-light combat, then a quality optical sight is necessary for your battle rifle.
The renowned conservative-libertarian firearms enthusiast American Redoubt Wyoming gun writer Boston T. Party says in his classic 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 anti-gun pols are finally realizing the awesome capability of scoped, high-powered 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 specials," "assault weapons" and "cop killer bullets")."[1]
