Lancer Tactical Red & Green Dot Cantilever Prism Scope, Blue

Zero is set at the muzzle, not halfway back at the receiver. That's the point of a cantilever mount: the optic rides forward so the reticle scales match what's actually downrange at close distance. Step off the line five feet into a building and your hold is still relevant instead of a tiny dot over the whole target.

What's in the optic. Prism glass with an illuminated reticle that runs red or green depending on conditions. Bright light calls for green; low light or night games, red. Powered by a CR2032 battery included in the box. The dial for brightness is on top of the housing where your hand finds it without shifting your cheek weld.

Mount and build. Metal construction at 1.15 lbs for the whole assembly. It mounts to any standard Picatinny or Weaver rail and sits 5 inches long from the base of the cantilever to the rear of the scope. Windage and elevation adjustments are hex-driven — a hex key is included — so they don't turn accidentally during transport or handling.

Before you buy. A cantilever scope moves your zero point forward relative to a standard rail mount. If you swap between this and a different scope, expect to re-zero. The CR2032 battery is included; have a spare on hand for longer game days. Lens cloth is also in the box.
