Overview
An enclosed emitter red dot sight with a 2 MOA dot, Shake Awake power management, and up to 50,000 hours of battery life on a single CR2032, built with a 7075 T6 aluminum housing rated IP67.
This is filed under handgun scopes, but the enclosed emitter design and specs line up with a duty or home-defense red dot meant for pistol-caliber carbines and similar platforms.
- 2 MOA dot with multi-reticle options
- Up to 50,000 hour battery life on a CR2032
- Shake Awake with last setting recall
- IP67-rated 7075 T6 aluminum housing
Who it's for
Suits shooters who want a durable enclosed-emitter red dot with long battery life and, if astigmatism is an issue, the option of a gold reticle. Less of a fit for anyone who needs a fully fog-proof optic in cold, humid conditions, since one reviewer found it fogs briefly before acclimating.
