• FireDot Duplex reticle combines a classic Duplex pattern with a bright central dot that draws your eye to the aiming point without obscuring the target.
• CDS-SZL2 elevation dial locks to prevent accidental movement, offers two full turns of elevation, and works with a free custom dial matched to your specific load and conditions.
• Guard-ion hydrophobic lens coating sheds water, dirt, and fingerprints so the lenses stay clearer longer in rain, snow, and dust.
• Integrated throw lever and fast-focus eyepiece allow quick magnification and focus changes when you shift from close encounters to longer field shots.
• Motion Sensor Technology automatically deactivates illumination after a period of inactivity and reactivates it with movement to conserve battery life.

• The illuminated FireDot Duplex reticle keeps your aiming point visible against dark animals and cluttered backgrounds at dawn and dusk, which supports cleaner shot placement.
• The CDS-SZL2 dial and generous MOA range let you dial precise elevation corrections with a custom yardage-marked dial instead of relying on rough holdover estimates.
