Vector Optics Victoptics IPM 1X23X34 Open Reflex Red Dot Sight

If you're looking for a cost-effective red dot sight which is ready for anything, the Vector Optics Victoptics IPM 1X23X34 Open Reflex Red Dot Sight is a solid choice. This open-style reflex sight is constructed from aluminium with steel mounting bolts and features an integral 20mm Picatinny rail mount, allowing it to be easily mounted to any Airsoft gun with a 20mm rail. Being constructed from aluminium makes the sight strong and light, but as always, we recommend using a lens protector when skirmishing. 

The IPM Red Dot Sight requires a single CR2032 button cell (not included) to power it, but thankfully, these are readily available and last ages as long as you remember to turn your sight off after the game! To access the battery compartment and install your battery, simply unscrew the top cap of the illumination dial and insert the cell with the positive terminal facing upwards. With this done, tighten down the cap again, and you are good to go. The cap also features texture around its circumference and a slot, allowing you to tighten it properly and prevent it from coming loose.

Like many popular "open" red dot sights, the IPM Open Reflex Red Dot Sight provides four reticle options suited to different scenarios and ambient light conditions. Your choice of reticle type can be input via the dial on the rear of the sight, offering a simple dot, ringed dot, cross or ringed cross reticle. 

The Dot reticle gives you a nice open sight picture with a clear peripheral for maximum situational awareness, just like other red dot sights. The ringed dot is ideal for close quarters, giving you an easy and fast-to-acquire ring with a central dot for more accurate shots. The cross reticle is great for engaging moving targets and lobbing shots at long range, and the ringed cross combines all reticle types for maximum functionality at a small sacrifice of losing a small amount of your field of view. 

Along with offering a choice of several reticle types, you can also select your preferred illumination colour (either red or green) and brightness level via the numerically marked dial on the top of the unit. We recommend using the lower brightness settings in dark environments and the brighter ones in brighter conditions to keep the reticle crisp and clear. 

Whether you are looking for the cheapest decent red dot on the market or prefer the lightweight and minimalist style of open reflex sights, the Vector Optics Victoptics IPM 1X23X34 Open Reflex Red Dot Sight will suit you well. A remarkably flexible sight for the money, the IPM Open Reflex makes a great first optic, but many experienced skirmishers still prefer it over the posh stuff!
