Annually, we attend the IWA fair, a venue where major entities in the firearms, sports optics, and related sectors display their products at their booths. The event draws thousands of attendees, and our marketing team endeavors to collect as much information as possible about new products. This year, we made our way to the booth of Vector Optics, a company known for its extensive range of different products from the field of sports optics – It’s always exciting to see what they are working on. This year, they presented the second generation of their widely popular Frenzy-X red dot sights. Keep reading to find out more.
The Models and Differences Between Them
The Frenzy-X Gen II series features two models: the 1x19x28 and the 1x19x26. The former is the standard model with a 3 MOA dot reticle, whereas the latter, with a slightly smaller lens, offers a multi-reticle system enabling users to toggle between a 3 MOA dot, a circle dot, and a circle-only option. It also comes with a solar panel on the lens frame, serving as an additional power source.
The Shared Features
Both models, crafted from durable 7075 T6 aluminum alloy, are open-reflex sights. They utilize a side-loaded CR2032 battery, capable of lasting up to 50,000 hours. The sights feature click-based adjustments for elevation and windage, facilitating the zeroing process. The devices features 11 levels of illumination intensity, which can be adjusted using the side buttons.
Additionally, they are equipped with a motion sensor to conserve battery life if accidentally left on. Featuring the Trijicon RMR mounting standard, they come with a fixed mount for the Picatinny platform. The sights are waterproof, and designed to withstand submersion up to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes without incurring damage.
Price and Availability
At IWA 2024, Vector Optics did not specify the exact prices for their models. Both models are expected to be priced around the 200 € mark, with the standard model (1x19x28) being more affordable because it does not feature the multi-reticle system and solar panel. They are projected to hit retail stores by May or June 2024.
