The Mepro Tru-Dot RDS red dot sight is now (officially) available in the United States. Its been about a year since TFB has a first-look at the sight, but The Mako Group has made good on its promise. Powered from a standard AA battery, the optic is designed for the simultaneous

performance and value-oriented shooter.

The sight features Q/D mounting to standard picatinny rails, a 1.8 MOA red dot (beating out AimPoint’s 2 MOA) and a large 33 x 20mm window or 1.29 x .78″ for us Imperialists. The sight is NVG compatible and uses LEDs for its illumination, but no specific battery life is claimed.

The sight retails for $399.

    I think this model is slightly different than the actual model the Israelis use. I thought I read the "civilian" version. Used a plastic lens hood instead of all metal, to keep costs down. But the guts are the same.

    400 is retail, so I'm pretty sure street prices will be much much less. This will be a great buy under 300.
