Our opinion on this red dot sight

The Shogun team is impressed by how compact and lightweight this sight is – at just 42 grams, you’ll barely notice it on your setup. The motion activation works flawlessly: as soon as you pick up your replica, the red dot switches on. Extremely practical during an intense airsoft skirmish where every second counts.

Technology and optical performance

The large aspherical lens with hard coating provides a clear, distortion-free image with natural colours. The 1x magnification means you can shoot with both eyes open – ideal for situational awareness. The 6 MOA red dot is large enough for quick aiming at short to medium range, yet still precise enough for accurate shots.

The CR2032 battery lasts extra long thanks to the smart automatic shut-off after 10 minutes. The Sockshield™ polymer insert protects the sight from impacts and scratches – this red dot is built to last.

Mounting and compatibility

This Defender ST comes with its own mounting system that fits various rails. Thanks to the compact length of 4.57 cm, this sight fits almost any airsoft replica or air rifle without disturbing the balance. The low profile keeps your sight line close to the barrel for natural aiming.

Who is this red dot sight for?

Perfect for the serious airsoft player looking for a reliable red dot without the weight of larger optics. Also ideal for sports shooters with air rifles who want to hit fast-moving targets. The combination of motion activation and long battery life makes this a no-nonsense choice for those who want to aim instantly without hassle from on/off switches.
