Primary Arms CLx RD-23 1x23mm 3 MOA Red Dot Sight

The CLx RD-23 is an open reflex sight with a 23mm window, which is a lot of glass for a red dot at this end of the market. The 3 MOA dot is small enough to shoot precisely at 50 yards and still bright enough to pick up fast at arm's length. Ten brightness settings run from full daylight down to two night vision compatible levels.

Controls are push button, so there is no rotating dial to bump out of position while the optic rides in a bag. A single CR2032 runs roughly 16,500 hours, and a solar panel supplements the cell whenever the sight sees light. The base uses the Aimpoint T1 and T2 footprint that most mounts are cut for, and a Picatinny mount comes in the box. At 3.5 ounces and 2.27 inches long it adds very little to an AR-15 or a defensive shotgun.
