New Viridian VENTA Green Dot Optic With 2 MOA Reticle
Viridian Weapon Technologies has introduced its newest rifle optic, the VENTA Green Dot, positioned as a compact sight for shooters who prioritize fast acquisition, minimal weight, and clear sight pictures. The VENTA is built around a 2 MOA green dot and a 1x22 mm fully multi-coated lens system designed to provide consistent clarity under a wide range of lighting conditions.
The optic is housed in an IPX7-rated enclosure, giving it resistance to water and environmental exposure typically encountered in duty or field use.
Weighing approximately 5 ounces, the VENTA aims to integrate easily with modern rifle setups without adding significant mass. Viridian states that the combination of a bright green dot and a lightweight chassis is intended to support rapid transitions and quick sight alignment on defensive carbines, patrol rifles, and recreational platforms.
Controls are kept simple for ease of operation, and the optic is built to withstand regular use on centerfire rifles.
“We designed the VENTA to be fast, simple, and tough—something you can mount on any rifle and rely on,” said Brian Hedeen, President and CEO of Viridian. “It gives shooters a clean, high-visibility aiming solution with intuitive controls and rock-solid durability. From home defense to patrol use, it’s ready when you are.”
Key features include:
- 2 MOA Green Dot for crisp, fast, and precise aiming
- INSTANT-ON® Technology for auto-on motion activation
- Digital Brightness Control with 10 total settings (8 visible, 2 night vision)
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Housing, hard-anodized black with optional Cerakoted FDE
- Aimpoint T2 Footprint with included 1.41” co-witness mount
- 30,000-Hour Battery Life on a single CR2032
- IPX7 Waterproof Construction with tactile windage and elevation adjustments
The footprint and design make the VENTA suitable for a variety of AR-pattern rifles and pistol-caliber carbines. The optic is being offered in two color options (standard black or an FDE variant) at an MSRP starting at $169.
