PARAGON 1x16 MICRO Prism Scope – precision and durability in a compact body

Looking for a compact prism scope that handles CQB engagements and short-range shooting like a red dot sight? Need a clean, distortion-free image and a reticle that stays sharp even if you have astigmatism? Then the Vector Optics PARAGON 1x16 MICRO is exactly what you’re after. This prism scope features an etched VEP-CDR reticle with a 2 MOA center dot. Its optical system with fully multi-coated lenses (FMC) delivers a crisp, high-contrast image with accurate color reproduction. The illumination offers 10 brightness levels in red, allowing reliable visibility from bright daylight to evening low-light. Its compact length and low weight make it ideal for modern CQB setups, PDW carbines or assault rifles. The 6061-T6 aluminum housing ensures high resistance to recoil forces up to 750 G, while IP67 waterproofing and nitrogen purging protect the optic from moisture, dust and internal fogging.
