Red dots and reflex sights were initially intended to be used only on rifles and carbines. Fast forward to today and nearly everyone has adopted the red dot and pistol concept, or is at the very least, aware of it. However, the market for rifle-mounted reflex sights has received a bit more interest as of late and that’s why American Defense Manufacturing is excited to announce their new Vortex Defender-CCW Red Dot packages which will include your choice of a mount fit for whatever long gun or shotgun you want it on and at the height that is most optimal for your specific setup.

American Defense MFG Offering Defender-CCW + Mount Packages

The Vortex Defender-CCW features a 3 MOA aiming dot which is easy and quick to find as well as auto shutoff and motion activation features. A top load, single 1632 battery provides roughly 9,500 hours of run time. Your choice of Lightweight Low, Absolute Co-Witness, Lower 1/3rd Co-Witness, and NV height mounts.

All optic packages come shipped, un-mounted in their factory packaging. All warranty claims will be handled by the optic manufacturer.

Available only to United States customers, Cannot be exported. Not available to dealers.

Each of these mounts, regardless of the height is being sold for $265 on the American Defense Manufacturing website. The choice of optic to me seems quite curious as the Defender-CCW optic features the smaller RMSc footprint, versus the more common RMR footprint which allows for optics with slightly larger windows. Each optic package comes with the 3MOA version of the Vortex Defender-CCW, as well as one CR1632 battery to get you started. For more information, you can visit http://admmfg.com/.
