This new optic the gives you the fast target acquisition and close quarters utility of a red dot optic at 1 power with the consistent holdovers through its entire magnification range of a First Focal Plane (FFP) scope.

The reticle is specifically designed around the .223/.556 caliber, and, when combined with the First Focal Plane optical design and built-in ranging feature, becomes an extremely versatile and accurate optic.
The scope has 9 daylight and 2 night-vision settings, that allows you to dial in the center interrupted circle and dot to match the existing lighting conditions. The scope also features an XD optical system with fully multi-coated lenses deliver a crisp sight picture to pick out targets faster.
