The SRO is crafted from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, making it more durable and robust than conventional red dot sights. Its forged housing shields the lenses and electronics, and it’s been tested to survive typical pistol-mounted drops. Its 1x magnification and 1.0 MOA dot reticle design provide an expansive field of view and a clear, crisp dot for easy target acquisition.
