Red Dot

C+H Precision is well-known for their optics plates and has made many OEM plates for other manufacturers. Now, to beat their own frustrations with the lack in the market, they’ve also created a line of optics with a surprising feature set. Let’s look at their new scope and a couple of red dots, too.

I approached the Fastfire 4 with a good degree of excitement. I loved the Fastfire 3 and would hope the Fastfire 4 lives up to its reputation.

The current king of the red dot optic is Aimpoint. Aimpoint produced the first modern red dot in 1975 and since then has been the king of red dots. Their numerous contracts with police and military units ensured the Aimpoint series are well proven and reliable. They’ve mastered the art of the red dot, and today we are looking at the Aimpoint TL with a 4 MOA red dot.

Athlon Optics is a brand that should be on your radar, in the hyper competitive world of optics. Over the next few months, we have some magnified scopes coming in as well. But for now, on the red dot front? This is a value that is very hard to beat.
