Vector Optics Scrapper Combo Kit

The Scrapper Combo Kit combines a multi-reticle red dot sight with a 3x magnifier, both mounted on a one-piece mount with an integrated side-flip for the magnifier. This integrated approach eliminates the need to purchase separate mounts and ensures proper alignment with different aftermarket mounts from different manufacturers.

The Scrapper red dot has a slightly larger 90mm tube offering a wide window. This allows for more flexible off-axis use at the sacrifice of size and weight. The unit has motion activation for the reticle, and the reticle offers 3 different configuration options. The controls work in the opposite of most red dots; the “down” button makes the reticle brighter.

The Paragon 3x magnifier is compact, well-built, and offers a bright and color-balanced view. The one-piece mount is machined from aluminum with a matte black finish that should hold up well against environmental exposure. Uniquely, the magnifier section of the dual mount offers a side flip hinge that can turn outward or inward (provided you have clearance on your rail).

Where the Scrapper Combo Kit really shines is in its value proposition. By bundling these components together, the Scrapper Combo costs less than buying the Paragon and Scrapper separately, while offering the unique Combot mount.

OSight SE GN

https://youtu.be/a7WRlVsSPtA

Last year OSight released the SE, a compact RMS-c footprint enclosed relfex sight. And their first to offer a user-replaceable coin battery tray. This year, they’ve added a feature missing from that red dot: a green dot.

The OSight SE GN is physically identical to the red SE but now offers the same multi-reticle in a green colored LED. This is great for people with astigmatism or who prefer a green color for visibility in daylight.

CVLife BearMightt Solar Red Dot

CVLife rolled out the Bear Swift multiple reticle solar red dot, a completely solar powered reflex sight that runs off of an internal solar charging battery. The Bear Swift features a selectable 2MOA dot and a 32 MOA circle/starburst reticle. It has a Glock MOS footprint which along with this low base, allows it to co-witness to factory iron sights.

Overall build quality is top-notch and a far cry from CVLife’s budget offerings from 10 years. The glass is flat, the reticle is crisp, and it has motion activation from sleep to concerve battery life. It has a rated 20,000 runtime at low brightness on the dot which is over 2 years.

The BearSwift is an alternative to the CVlife WildHawk X, which has a back-up solar panel but runs off a replaceable coin battery but that has a RMR footprint. https://youtu.be/emxu_VHTdes

The completely solar-powered unit is useful for shooters who regularly go to the range, which would allow regular racharging of the internal battery. But for occasional shooters, collectors, or as a bedside gun, the requirement for solar charge can pose an issue. It would have been nice if this optic had a USB-C or magnetic charging as a backup.

SHOT2026 Monstrum Tactical

At SHOT Show 2026, Monstrum’s newest products weren’t new scopes but a whole new product line: red dots. Monstrum sold red dots a recently 5 years ago but quietly dropped those products due to issues with quality. They didn’t want poor products to taint their strategy of improving quality and performance in the budget optic brand space.

They released their Nitro line of traditional reflex sights in both RMR and RMCs models. At their SHOT both, they showed their newly released Bird of Prey (B.O.P.) shotgun dot. And they showed me a prototype of an upcoming enclosed emitter red dot, which didn’t have a name at the time.

Monstrum changed the budget optic landscape about 5 years ago with the introduction of good-quality LPVOs under $200. I was fortunate to be part of the awareness of this brand with my reviews of their Banshee and later a head-to-head comparison review of their Panzer vs a much more expensive one Vortex Razor HD Gen3. Spoiler alert, the Razor was the better optic but the Panzer was not bad in comparison.

Monstrums history of delivering better-than-good-enough quality for a shockingly low price bodes well for their new red dots. I look forward to testing them out this year.

SHOT2026 Vector Owlset HEIM ES X-NANO

https://youtu.be/ptUbZL2eECk

At the Vector Optics booth at SHOT show, I got hands-on with an Owlset HEIM ES X-NANO mini thermal pistol sight. This claims to be the world’s smallest pistol-mountable thermal optic. Holosun has a similarly sized optic display but that actually comes in two parts, with a camera section mounted like a pistol light. This Owlset is a self-contained unit, with the lens in its front. It utilizes Vector Optics VOD footprint, which is a variant of the AimPoint ACRO. Vector Optics offers MOS, RMR, and Picatinny adapter plates.

The MSRP was tentatively targeted to be under $600, but with US tarrifs, that’s anybody’s guess at this point? But it’s already available in Asia and set to be released in Q1 here in the US.

OSight XR

The XR is the newest micro reflex red dot from OSight. It features an enclosed emitter body and significant performance upgrades. It adds two options for the size of its dot (2 MOA and 6 MOA) and adds additional charge capacity to its cover (5x instead of 4x), for a jaw-dropping +30 years of runtime.

This RMR footprint optic has a clear window at the rear to protect the rear of the lens from weather, moisture, and debris that could render traditional reflex sights useless. The unit has a relatively low deck, though not low enough for me to co-witness my Glock’s factory sights. The unit has a set of spring-loaded pop-up rear sights built into the rear deck, which can be utilized with some practice.

OLight flashlights surprised the firearms community when they launched the OSight two years ago. Their flagship product was the first magnetic recharging micro reflex sight red dot. This pistol red dot charges using a unique protective cover that also functions as a wired USB-C charger or detached as a mobile power bank for the OSight. The OSign XR has clever LED indicators to inform the user about the internal battery level and the battery level of the cover, so there should be no surprises at the range or on the job.

OSight C micro red dot

When the OSight first came out earlier this year, they launched a micro reflex sight (RMR) that was wireless rechargeable at a very reasonable price. But many shooters were hesitant to buy any RMR that they couldn’t easily replace the battery.

OSight listened. They released the C model which offers the same performance as their original OSight multi-reticle but powered by a user-replaceable 16332 coin battery. Moreover, it can run for a whoppping 100,000 hours from a fresh coin battery in 3MOA dot mode at its lowest visible brightness (Level 3).

If this wasn’t amazing enough, they launched the OSight C with a street price under $150. At this price, with these features, and OLights great customer service, there is no RMR that is a better value.
