**Key Features of the Vortex Micro Red Dot Defender-ST 3 MOA Tan**

• Aspherical lens with hard coating: crystal-clear, sharp, and distortion-free view — even in bright sunlight
• Motion activation & auto shut-off: powers on with movement and turns off after 10 minutes to save battery
• ShockShield™ insert: absorbs impacts and protects internal components
• Top-mounted battery: replace your battery without losing zero
• Night vision compatible: the two lowest brightness settings are perfect for low-light use

The 3 MOA red dot gives you fast, accurate aiming in any light or background. With 10 brightness levels — 8 for daytime and 2 for night vision — you can easily match the intensity to your environment. Thanks to its parallax-free design, your target stays perfectly on point no matter your viewing angle.

The unlimited eye relief gives you full freedom of movement and situational awareness — essential for tactical or dynamic shooting. The matte anodized finish doesn’t just look rugged, it also resists wear and minimizes glare. The tan housing pairs seamlessly with firearms and accessories in matching shades, giving your setup a clean, professional look.

Fully waterproof thanks to O-ring seals, the Defender-ST easily shrugs off dust, dirt, and moisture. Rain, mud, or sand — it keeps performing. Designed to handle any challenge, wherever you train or hunt.

The Defender-ST uses a DeltaPoint Pro mounting system. Check your firearm’s manual to see if an adapter plate is needed. Use the included screws to mount it securely — it’ll stay perfectly aligned, every time. The battery offers up to 25,000 hours of power, depending on brightness level.

Every Vortex Micro Red Dot Defender-ST 3 MOA Tan comes with an RMS footprint mounting plate and a Picatinny/Weaver mount, plus all the screws you need for a rock-solid installation.
