Real-World Applications
Quick Optic Transition
Flip the magnifier aside in one motion when you need an unobstructed red dot for close targets, then return to magnified viewing for identification and precision.
Precision Retention
Rigid steel chassis and robust clamping help preserve zero after repeated flips, making it suitable for multi-role carbines and long-range transitions.
Mechanical & Build Advantages
- Steel body outperforms typical aluminum mounts for strength and longevity.
- Positive, tool-less flip mechanism provides repeatable positioning and a confident lockup.
- Compact geometry achieves practical height for co-witness while maintaining a low profile.
