the best optics for leftists, admittedly, is a red dot sight, or a 1-6x adjustable with a reasonable FoV and eye relief. anything further than that is generally useless without training except with stationary things.

punching Nazis is only bad for optics if they're shitty, most optics can handle rough handling on your part without losing zero
