Vortex Optics Defender-ST Micro Green Dot Sight (3 MOA, Black)
The rush of competitive shooting may bring us all together. But when you want an optic that sets you apart, depend on the Defender-ST. Target to target. Stage to stage. It's built tough as nails around a massive sight window that delivers greater peripheral vision and increased speed for follow-up shots, so you always come out on top.
Bright Green Dot
Targets quickly in varied lighting and diverse backgrounds.
Large Viewing Window
For fast target acquisition and a large field of view.
ShockShield Polymer Insert
To protect against hard, daily abuse.
Fast-Rack Textured Grip
Aggressive texturing on the face of optic for racking slide off any surface.
Motion Activation with 10 Minute Auto-Shutoff
Automatically activates with motion, while the 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 Brightness Settings
Daylight 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 green dot and holographic sights will exhibit some small amount of parallax. Matching current industry practice, this small amount would be considered parallax-free and would make a negligible difference in performance.
Unlimited Eye Relief
Non-critical eye relief for rapid target acquisition.
Low-Glare Matte Black Anodized
Corrosion and wear-resistant anodization provides a low-glare matte surface and helps camouflage the shooter's position.
Single-Piece Chassis
Compact and lightweight.
Waterproof
Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Fogproof
Designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures.
Shockproof
Designed to withstand the highest levels of recoil and impact.
