Pair your optics purchase with the right firearm at Superior Shooting:
Superior Shooting is the optics-ready firearms dealer in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, and serves customers in the nearby cities of Warren, Fraser, and Eastpointe. All firearm purchases at Superior Shooting are conducted in full compliance with federal and Michigan state law, including ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check for every sale. Michigan enacted universal background check requirements for all firearm sales, including private transfers, in 2023.
Scopes, sights, optics, and laser sights are unregulated accessories under both federal and Michigan law and do not require a background check to purchase. There are no state or federal restrictions on the ownership or use of standard optical sighting equipment, red dot sights, or laser sights by eligible residents. Certain night vision and thermal imaging devices may be subject to export control regulations under federal law if transferred internationally, but domestic purchase and use by eligible Michigan residents is permitted. All firearms to which optics are attached remain subject to all applicable federal and Michigan firearms regulations.
Michigan hunters should consult the Michigan DNR for any season-specific regulations on sighting equipment, as certain special seasons or methods of take rules may restrict specific sighting aids for particular species or zones. Michigan’s 2024 safe storage law requires all firearms to be stored securely to prevent access by minors. Optics and mounting hardware should be inspected for proper torque and zero retention at the start of each hunting season and after any transport or impact. Contact Superior Shooting for help selecting the right optic, mount, or sighting system for your specific firearm and application.
Superior Shooting carries a range of optical sighting equipment including riflescopes, red dot sights, laser sights, and rangefinders. Mounting hardware including rings, bases, and mounts is also available to complete any installation. Stop in or check online for current inventory across all available brands and configurations suited for hunting, defensive, and competition applications.
For most Michigan deer hunting scenarios, a variable power scope in the 3-9×40 or 2-10×42 range is a versatile and practical choice covering close timber shots and longer field shots with equal confidence. Hunters in tight Lower Peninsula timber may prefer a lower-powered 1.5-5x or 2-7x scope for faster target acquisition, while open-country Upper Peninsula hunters may prefer a 4-12x or higher for additional reach. The right magnification depends on your typical shot distances, the terrain you hunt, and your specific rifle and caliber.
A rangefinder gives you the precise distance to your target before taking a shot, which is critical for accurate holdover and scope adjustment at varying distances. Michigan deer hunters using slug guns and straight-wall rifles benefit significantly from knowing exact yardage, as these calibers have more pronounced trajectory drop than high-velocity bottleneck cartridges. Rangefinders are also useful for Michigan turkey hunters judging distance to a strutting tom and for precision rifle shooters dialing their scope for specific distances at the range.
A pistol-mounted red dot offers real performance advantages for Michigan CPL holders, including faster target acquisition, a single focal plane aiming reference, and improved accuracy at extended distances compared to traditional iron sights. Many modern pistols come optics-ready from the factory, and aftermarket optics-cut slides are available for many popular carry guns. The adjustment period for a new red dot requires dedicated range time, but most shooters find measurable improvement once they adapt. The staff at Superior Shooting can help you select a compatible red dot for your specific carry pistol.
A red dot sight is an optical device that projects an illuminated reticle, typically a red or green dot, onto a lens that the shooter looks through to aim. It requires the shooter to bring the firearm to eye level for use. A laser sight projects a visible beam of light directly onto the target, allowing the shooter to aim without necessarily raising the gun to eye level. Laser sights are particularly useful in low-light defensive situations where a traditional sight picture may be difficult to obtain quickly.
No. Laser sights are unregulated accessories under both federal and Michigan law. Eligible residents may purchase and use laser sights on legal firearms without a special permit or license. Standard safety precautions apply, including never directing a laser at aircraft, vehicles, or people not engaged in a lawful defensive situation. All firearms to which laser sights are attached remain subject to all applicable federal and Michigan firearms laws and carry regulations.
Choosing the right rings and mounts requires matching your scope’s main tube diameter, typically 1 inch or 30mm, to your rifle’s rail or base system, and selecting the ring height needed to clear your barrel and objective lens without contact. Low rings offer the most stable cheek weld but may not clear large objective lenses. Medium and high rings add clearance at the cost of a slightly higher cheek position. One-piece mounts combine rings and a base for a lower-profile, often more rigid installation. The staff at Superior Shooting can help match rings and mounts to your specific scope and rifle combination.
You should verify your scope zero at the beginning of each hunting season, after any transport where your rifle may have been bumped or jostled, after changing ammunition, and any time your rifle has been exposed to significant temperature swings between storage and field use. Michigan’s cold early morning hunting conditions can affect point of impact compared to warmer range sessions where you last zeroed. A quick confirmation at the range before season opens ensures your rifle is ready when the moment counts. Contact Superior Shooting for help with optic selection, mounting, or zeroing questions.
