Swampfox’s Raider is a new 1×20 microprism designed to offer a winning combination of speed, precision and resilience. It is equipped with a T2 footprint, making it extremely versatile across various mounting platforms, while its die-cast zinc alloy construction and titanium bolts imbue it with high reliability in demanding conditions.
The etched reticle is central to the Raider’s design and is available as either a bullet rise compensation (BRC) array or a 6 MOA dot, either offered in red or green. The BRC reticle, offering dedicated holds at 5, 10 and 15 yards, is particularly suited to AR-style rifles and similar platforms. Raider includes 10 illumination settings, two of which are night vision compatible, allowing it to adapt to a variety of lighting conditions. The reticle itself is discernible even without illumination to ensure a reliable sight picture and is an excellent alternative to those with astigmatism or who struggle with traditional dot sights.
Swampfox’s Shake N’ Wake feature optimizes battery life for up to 35,000 hours by turning illumination off after 225 seconds of inactivity. Raider’s generous eye relief ensures rapid, clear target acquisition, while its adjustable rear diopter allows the sight to be used with both eyes open. A 100-yard field of view additionally promotes quick acquisition and heightened situational awareness.
Each optic includes two riser mounts—1.1” and 1.6”—allowing for adjustable height and third-party compatibility. An innovative lens cover is connected to the battery compartment, providing for added protection and easy stowing. Every Raider is backed by Swampfox’s lifetime warranty against manufacturing and material defects in addition to 10-year coverage on the LEDs.
