The NEW SIOPTO SCOUTER From Strike Industries

The SCOUTER’s one-piece sight housing and its absolute height mounting base are both CNC machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy.

The battery housing, designed by SIOPTO, provides protection for the single CR2032 Li-ion battery. The SCOUTER boasts a two-year battery life on the #6 (of 11) brightness setting. Helping to boost that life, it also features a two-hour auto shutoff with shake-awake technology. The SCOUTER is not night vision compatible. It uses the Aimpoint T1/T2 footprint and comes with a 1913 mount.
