“Tag: red dot sight”

SilencerCo, Noveske and Aimpoint join efforts to give away a dream rifle.

These days you can see more red-dot sights on rifles at the range than irons, but it wasn’t always so. Forty years ago, when Aimpoint debuted the world’s first red-dot sight with its “Electronic,” there was no shortage of critics who claimed the battery-powered device had no place on the firing line, though.

The Trijicon RMR (Ruggedized Miniature Reflex) is already known as one of the most robust miniature red dot sights on the market today, and with the introduction of the 1 MOA model, the RMR has taken a considerable step toward also being the most accurate.

Those looking for a durable red-dot sight with a large display window for quick target acquisition will find the Meprolight Tru-Dot RDS an excellent choice.

Compact, lightweight and simple to use, TruGlo’s Tru-Tec red-dot sight utilizes an unmagnified 20 mm objective lens.

Offering Aimpoint quality at a wallet-friendly price point, the ACO is a red-dot sight that provides absolute cowitness with standard AR-15 iron sights.

A red-dot sight with a 2-m.o.a. reticle and a 22 mm objective lens, the Vortex SPARC AR’s Multi-Height Mount system allows it to provide either absolute or lower-one-third cowitness with standard AR-15 iron sights.

The Holosun HS403C is a micro red-dot sight that utilizes both a silicon solar cell and an internal battery to ensure reliable operation in all lighting conditions.

Several gunmakers, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, SIG Sauer, Kahr and others, have introduced handguns ready-made for the mounting of mini-reflex sights, and many optics companies have entered the market to address this growing trend.
