Feature Tech

Large Viewing Window

ShockShield™ Polymer Insert
To protect against hard, daily abuse.

Aggressive texturing on face of optic for racking slide off any surface.

Motion Activation with 10 Minute Auto-Shutoff
Automatically activates with motion while 10 minute auto-shutoff saves battery life.

Button Lockout

Top Mount Battery
Easy battery changes without having to re-zero your optic.

10 Daylight Bright Brightness Settings
Daylight bright, illuminated center dot aids in faster center-point acquisition in bright daylight conditions.

Night-Vision Compatibility

Parallax Free
All red dots and holographic sights will exhibit some small amount of parallax. Matching current industry practice, this small amount would be considered "parallax free" and will make a negligible difference in performance.

Unlimited Eye Relief
Non-critical eye relief for rapid target acquisition.

Low-Glare Matte Black Anodized
Corrosion and wear resistant anodization provides low-glare matte surface and helps camouflage the shooter's position.

Single-Piece Chassis
Compact and lightweight.

Waterproof
Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.

Fogproof
Designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures.

Shockproof
Designed to withstand the highest levels of recoil and impact.
