New From Vortex: Venom Enclosed Micro Red Dot Sight
Vortex is not done with their introduction of new optics and mounts, and this week is no exception. The Venom Enclosed Micro Red Dot is designed for reliable performance in all conditions. Its enclosed 6061 aluminum housing shields the optic from rain, dust, and snow, while the aspherical lens delivers a distortion-free sight picture with accurate color representation.
Vortex Optics @ TFB:
A large viewing window helps with fast target acquisition, and the sight features motion activation with a 10-minute auto-shutoff to extend battery life. Adjustment controls are placed on the top for ease of use. Pricing is set at $289.99 MSRP, which, in my opinion, is an attractive price level for these kinds of optics. There are 2 dot sizes, 3 and 6 MOA.

Most optics need some sort of attachment, and Vortex has got you covered with the release of the Pro 45° Offset Mount. This allows shooters to transition quickly from magnified optics to a red dot without breaking position. Made from 6061 aluminum, the mount is compatible with DeltaPoint® Pro and Micro® T-2 footprints. It’s priced at $104.99 MSRP.
Rounding out the lineup is the Red Dot Picatinny Mount, a lightweight 6061 aluminum adapter that allows a red dot to be mounted on any Picatinny-equipped firearm, including rifles and shotguns. It’s compatible with the DeltaPoint® Pro footprint and is priced at $29.99 MSRP.
