Vortex Optics Defender-XL 5 MOA Micro Red Dot, TAN - (DFXL-MRD5-T)

The rush of competitive shooting may bring us all together. But when you want an optic that sets you apart, depend on the Defender-XL. Target to target. Stage to stage. It's built tough as nails around a massive sight window that delivers greater peripheral vision and increasing speed for follow-up shots so you always come out on top.

Key Features:

Large Viewing Window: For fast target acquisition and large field of view.
Aspherical Lens: For distortion-free sight picture and truer colors.
ShockShield Polymer Insert: To protect against hard, daily abuse.
Fast-Rack Textured Grip: 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: Prevents accidental brightness adjustment during use or transport.
Top Mount Battery: Easy battery change without having to re-zero your optic.
10 Daylight Bright Brightness Settings: aylight bright, illuminated center dot aids in faster center-point acquisition in bright daylight conditions.
Night-Vision Compatibility: The lowest 2 settings are night-vision compatible.
Parallax Free: All red dot 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 Tan Anodized: Corrosion and wear resistant anodization provides low-glare matte surface and helps camouflage the position.
Single-Piece Chassis: Compact and lightweight.
Waterproof: Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Fogproof: Designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures.
Shockproof: Rugged construction withstands recoil and impact.
