Intro
Few simple screenshots of the weapon sights available in game.
Updated from the old version which was made during the closed beta.

All screenshots of rifle optics were taken mounted on an AMR-16
All screenshots of pistol optics were taken mounted on the Desert Eagle
No Sharpshooter Ace
All done in about 10 minutes. You were the ones asking for an update
Carry Handle

Standard carryhandle ironsights on the M16 for referance
Military Red Dot

Military red dot pre-order variant.
Standard one is the same apart from being black and having the United States flag inside the cover.
Holo

Nothing fancy to say here - It's a holographic sight.
Professionals Choice

That's what it's called, not my opinion.
Surgeon Sight

Payday universe version of the Docter sight.
Bonus points if you get the pun.
Acough

I wonder what this could be.
Has massive FOV zoom effect.
Milspec

It's big
See more

I wonder if it's because it blocks your peripheral less
Combat Sight

Comes with funky red gradient - Not affected by dot colour choice.
Compact Holo

When two fullsized holo sights love each other very much...
Speculator

cawadooty not included
Trigonom

It's another circle to look through
Solar

It's another big circle to look through
Pistol Stuff
Because these were hard to work out
Deagle Irons

For comparison
Deagle + Marksman Sight

Not exactly game changing but it's free accuracy
Deagle + Pistol Red Dot

Hey look, it's a pistol with a green dot on it
Sniper stuff
Because i forgot it
Magnified

With built in rangefinding (literally useless)
Also highlights specials you aim at automatically- Highlight works with spotter perk
Angled sight

Because despite being a snoipah you just had to get in close.
Activated by pressing Q and then aiming.

I see the author of this guide had the thoughts on the Speculator sight as I did, considering the description ^_^
