The body of the sight was made by precision milling from 7075 aircraft aluminum, giving the device a lightweight (only 54 g) rugged construction, resistant to recoil, drop and other unexpected events that accompany IPSC.
The aluminum body is finished with a hard anodizing technique for high abrasion and scratch resistance. The base of the collimator has a DeltaPoint Pro foot print, eliminating the need to purchase an additional mounting plate, or for a gunsmith to modify the weapon.
The front of the sight has aggressive Fast-Rack fluting, so we can reload the gun with confidence through the collimator as well. The sight has a waterproof and dustproof housing, supported by a Shockshield polymer insert that effectively absorbs the shock and recoil of the weapon. The collimator has a simple and user-friendly interface operated by large buttons located on both sides of the case.
Vortex collimators with lifetime warranty - reliable collimator sights for sport and recreation
The Vortex Defender-XL has a high-quality lens coated with multi-layer anti-reflective coatings, which ensure high light transmission and a clear and sharp image free of parallax error. The viewfinder is distinguished not only by one of the largest lenses in its class, but also by its aspherical optics profile. This ensures crystal sharpness of the image not only in the center, but also in the periphery. The result is a bright clear image of the target and can shoot comfortably even in low light. The aiming mark is a red dot of 5 or 8 MOA (depending on the model) with a clique value of 1 MOA, adjustable from 115/120 MOA (horizontal/vertical). Armortek hard coating protects the lens from scratches and other external factors.
The control system and diode are resistant to weapon recoil and atmospheric conditions, so the sight works stably and efficiently and stably also in harsh field conditions. The collimator is powered by a CR2032 battery, which, according to the manufacturer, provides up to 25,000 hours of operation at a brightness setting of 6. As with the Venom, the battery port is located on the top of the unit, allowing easy and convenient replacement of the power source, without the need to remove the sight from the weapon The user has 8 daylight settings and 2 night vision-compatible settings at his disposal. Extended operating time, the sight is due to the use of a motion sensor, which, when there is no movement activity after 10 minutes, automatically turns off the LED and switches the sight to sleep mode. To turn the collimator back on, all you need to do is raise the weapon. The motion activation system instantly awakens the collimator, making it instantly ready to shoot even under prolonged storage.
