If Warner & Swasey sounds familiar, they produced a scope for the M1903 Springfield which saw use in World War 1. This optic is not produced by the original company, but Warner & Swasey is a trademark that ties back to Geissele. Though the RDSMicro differs from its namesake scope, it has a certain squareish-ness that ties back to the original.
The retail price is $125, which includes the mount. It operates on a single (standard) 2032 battery for up to 20,000 hours. As the name implies, the RDSMicro MOA3 features a 3-MOA dot reticle. Windage and elevation adjustments are external and have a recessed slot for a flathead screwdriver or any other similarly-sized tool.
The RDSMicro MOA3 is available now and is in stock as of the time of writing.
