Meopta Introduces Its Newest Tactical Reflex Sight – the MeoSight III
OutdoorHub 01.13.14
Meopta, a global leader of military optical sighting systems and sports optics, continues to add to its tactical offerings with the MeoSight III. This newest parallax-free reflex sight is smaller than its predecessor, the M-RAD Micro, and extremely versatile. The high-quality optics and wide sight picture for a unit this size allows for extremely fast close-quarter target acquisition with both eyes open and accurate shooting on the move.
The MeoSight III features an integrated MIL-STD 1913 quick release mount making it an ideal sight for AR platforms, shotguns and handguns. The illumination is activated by pushing the control button located on the front of the sight and the brightness level of the red dot is easily adjustable to 8 different intensity levels using either the manual mode or automatic mode. For manual mode, press the button quickly while the unit is off (for less than .05 sec) and then select the preferred brightness level by pushing the same button quickly to increase or decrease brightness. For automatic mode, long press the control button while the unit is off to steadily select the preferred brightness level and then release. To turn the unit off, press the button and hold. The MeoSight III is available with either a 3 MOA or 5 MOA dot.
Powered by two CR 2032 batteries for up to 1000 hours of run time, the MeoSight III also features a battery compartment on the right side of the sight that slides out for easy access. The unit also has a low battery indicator dot that signals when the battery is running low.
Meopta engineers designed the MeoSight III to significantly increase shooter accuracy and speed in a variety of situations such as 3-gun competition, personal defense and L/E applications, and its miniature profile also makes it ideal for mounting to a primary riflescope for situations that require rapid change from distant to close quarter shots.
MSRP: $458.85
