Cardinal Red Dot Sight – this red dot sight for fast target acquisition

The Ram Tactical Cardinal is a versatile red dot sight that helps you aim quickly and accurately during your airsoft games. With both red and green dot options and no fewer than 14 brightness settings in total, this sight adapts perfectly to changing light conditions – whether you're playing indoors or outdoors.

What we think of this red dot sight

The Shogun team particularly appreciates the sturdy aluminium construction of the Cardinal. This red dot sight feels robust and can take a knock – exactly what you need during intensive airsoft sessions. The dual mounting options make it extra versatile, though we do miss the parallax-free function that more expensive models offer.

Technology and optical performance

The Cardinal offers you the choice between a red or green dot, each with 7 brightness settings. This gives you optimal flexibility: red for standard daylight, green for better visibility in bright sunlight or green environments. The sight is powered by a CR2032 battery which is included.

The aluminium housing provides durability without adding much weight. Important to know: this sight is not parallax-free, which means that the position of your eye relative to the sight affects where the dot appears to point. For airsoft use this is usually not a problem, but it's worth bearing in mind.

Mounting and compatibility

This red dot sight is supplied with two different mounts for Picatinny rails – this is the standard on airsoft replicas and many PCP air rifles. You receive both a high and a low mount, allowing you to choose what suits your setup best. The high mount is ideal if you also want to use iron sights, whilst the low mount provides a more compact profile.

Who is this red dot sight intended for?

The Cardinal is perfect for airsoft players looking for an affordable yet reliable red dot sight. Particularly suitable for beginners or as a backup sight, but experienced players who don't want to spend a fortune also appreciate this optic for airsoft. The absence of parallax-free functionality makes it less suitable for precision shooting at long range, but for dynamic CQB combat or mid-range encounters this sight is more than adequate.
