Agreed when I was infantry I bought a Bushnell 8X21 pictured below, I'd also like to point out that in both the Canadian and British Armies, they have a scope attached to their service rifles. The C79 Optical Sight for the Canadians

And the Sight Unit Small Arms, Trilux, or SUSAT for the British
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSAT
Both have Tritium posts and marking which offer limited night and low light capability. Not sure about the SUSAT but in 1994 C79 was standard issue to all army personnel and were attached to all C7A1 Service Rifles.
I did my basic infantry training in 1994
