Vortex Defender-ST™ Green Dot 3 MOA – Compact Size,
Enhanced Visibility
The Vortex Defender-ST™ Micro Green Dot (3 MOA) is
designed for shooters who want a compact optic with improved visibility and a
more precise aiming point. Combining a crisp green reticle with a streamlined
design, it offers fast acquisition while maintaining control for more
deliberate shooting.
Ideal for pistol, PCC, or shotgun setups, it delivers
dependable performance in a smaller footprint.
Green Dot for Clearer Sight Picture
The green dot provides strong contrast in a variety of
lighting conditions and can be easier for the eye to pick up than traditional
red reticles. This can help reduce strain during extended use and improve speed
when acquiring the dot.
3 MOA Dot for Greater Precision
With a smaller aiming point, the 3 MOA dot allows for more
accurate shot placement. It covers less of the target, making it particularly
useful when shooting at distance or aiming at smaller targets.
Compact and Practical Design
The Defender-ST™ keeps weight and size down without
compromising usability. Its clean sight picture and balanced proportions make
it suitable for setups where space and handling are important.
Built for Everyday Use
Constructed from durable aluminium and designed to handle
recoil and general wear, this optic is made for regular use. It maintains
reliability without requiring constant adjustments or maintenance.
