- Gun sights: Upgrade your handgun or rifle with quality iron sights, night sights, and fiber optic options that improve target acquisition and provide a reliable backup aiming system in any lighting condition for carry and defensive firearms.
- Laser sights: Mount a laser sight on your handgun or home defense firearm for fast, instinctive target acquisition in low-light conditions where raising the gun to eye level may not be practical.
- Red dot mounts: Secure your red dot or micro optic at the correct height and position on your rifle or pistol with quality mounts that provide a stable, repeatable platform and hold zero through recoil and extended field use.
- Scope rings: Complete your riflescope installation with quality rings in the right height and tube diameter for your specific scope and rifle combination, ensuring a solid, consistent foundation that holds zero through hunting season and range use.
Local And Compliance Notes
Summit Firearms is the trusted firearms dealer in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and serves customers in the nearby cities of New Haven and Huntertown. All firearm purchases at Summit Firearms are conducted in full compliance with federal and Indiana state law, including ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check for every firearm sale. Scopes, sights, optics, and mounting hardware are unregulated accessories that do not require a background check to purchase and are available to all customers.
Indiana enacted constitutional carry in 2022, allowing law-abiding residents who are legally permitted to possess a firearm to carry it openly or concealed without a state-issued permit. All firearms to which optics are attached remain subject to all applicable federal and Indiana firearms laws. 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 Indiana residents. Indiana hunters should consult the Indiana DNR for any season-specific regulations on sighting equipment, as certain special seasons or public land hunting situations may restrict specific sighting aids for particular species.
Scopes 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 that could affect zero. A scoped rifle that has not been verified at the range should not be taken into the field. Contact Summit Firearms for help selecting the right scope, red dot, sight, mount, or ring combination for your specific firearm and Indiana hunting or defensive application.
