The Defender-XL Micro Red Dot delivers fast, accurate target acquisition and reliable performance. Its large viewing window and aspherical lens provide a clear sight picture for quick follow-up shots. The ShockShield polymer insert and single-piece chassis protect against impact, while the Fast-Rack textured grip allows easy handling. Motion-activated with a 10-minute auto shutoff, it powers on instantly and saves battery life. The top-mounted CR2032 battery is easy to replace without re-zeroing and lasts up to 25,000 hours. With 10 brightness levels, including 2 night-vision settings, the 2 MOA red dot is visible in any light. Picatinny-compatible, parallax-free, and with unlimited eye relief, it ensures fast, precise shots. Shockproof, waterproof, and fogproof, the Defender-XL performs in any environment.
