Overview
Built for fast target acquisition, this reflex sight suits hunters and shooters who want an uncomplicated aiming solution for shotguns and MSR or AR-style platforms. Its parallax-corrected lenses with AR Red coating, unlimited eye relief, and both-eyes-open use support quick sight picture acquisition in the field or on the range. Four reticle options and five brightness settings let you tailor the view to changing light and shooting conditions, while the aluminum/polymer housing and shockproof design are intended to handle repeated .308 recoil. The XL model is compact for MSR platforms, while the full-sized XLT adds a quick-release lever and is better suited to AR rifles.

- The XL and XLT are tuned for different setups: the XL is compact for MSR platforms, while the XLT is full-sized and better suited to AR rifles.
- Battery and runtime differ by model, so choosing between CR1632 and CR2032 affects how often you may need to replace the battery.
- The sight includes 4 reticle options and 5 brightness settings, but that flexibility also means more setup choices before you settle on a preferred view.
- Lens cover is not included, so additional protection may need to be considered separately.
