Those would also bring with them an increase in light gathering which could help in early morning or evenings, how much help would depend on how big front lens is.So the advantage of a scope would be seen at distances... That doesn't mean the red dot sights don't have their advantages, typically in speed of acquiring the sight picture. Since the red dot doesn't have an magnification, you can shoot using both eyes much like using iron sights. Often they also have coatings which can also help with the clarity much like shooting glasses can.</blockquote>
