Top-Rated Scope for M&P Sport 2 List:
I do not believe in buying a compromised scope, so all these scopes are tested for actual performance in the field. I perform plinking, as well as tactical range shooting, and occasionally drop the rifle by mistake on purpose, hit the occasional wall, dive through a murky lake, and watch what happens when I take aim.
The bottom line is a perfect performance for amazing scopes that you must buy when you decide to go shooting with your M&P Sport.

This model features a 30mm aluminum alloy chassis that delivers high recoil buffering and is 100% waterproof and hg resistant.

Due to the engineered base, this is a shockproof unit, and it withstands both recoils as well as heavy-duty performance in adverse conditions.
The shell of this scope is finished in a durable low-glare matte anodized coating, and it works in a temperature range between -22 degrees to +140 degrees Fahrenheit.
You get non-critical eye relief when used for rapid target acquisition, and the dot intensity is adjustable. This gives you 10-day illumination levels and two-night levels.
Adjustable Dot Intensity Provides ten variable illumination settings—the lowest two settings are night-vision compatible.
At maximum brightness, battery life is 300 hours, and for power conservation, it will reach 6,000 hours when set to the minimum brightness setting.
