(MANSFIELD, TX 2016/08/04) – Built around a 30mm tube for standard mounting on all firearms systems using 30mm scope rings or single-piece mounts, Photon XT scopes are designed specifically for quick, easy mounting and use on countless firearm applications. The rubber eyepiece and sharp, built-in LCD screen make target acquisition ultra-fast while variable IR settings and reticle options, including type and illumination brightness, also provide a customized sight picture in any environment, day or night. Speaking of day or night, Sightmark Photon XT Riflescopes include an objective lens cover with a pinhole to deliver optimal light during daytime use; however, users can be assured damage-free daytime use even with the objective lens fully exposed.
Offered in three models, Sightmark Photon XT Night Vision Riflescopes feature IPX4 weatherproof and shockproof protection, a rugged 6061-T6 hard-anodized aluminum tube and a rubber-armored component body. All models also feature a 640×480 LCD internal display, CMOS sensor, 656×492 camera resolution, front focus objective lens, additional weaver rail, video output and IR illumination.
The Sightmark Photon XT 6.5x50L (SM18007) boasts 6.5x magnification, a 50mm objective lens, 2.3” eye relief and a 780nm laser IR illuminator while the Photon XT50S (SM18009) incorporates all of the same quality features, but utilizes an 810mn LED IR illuminator. The Sightmark Photon XT 4.6×42 (SM18008) features 4.6x magnification, a 42mm objective lens and an 810nm LED IR illuminator. Contrary to many night vision options in the marketplace Sightmark Photon XT Night Vision Riflescopes offer intuitive, easy-to-use interface, resist bright light exposure and six reticle styles. Every Photon XT includes a carry case, user manual, video cable and lens cloth.
