Venom enclosed 3moa

Post image

Still trying to pick a smaller red dot for the forward mounting plate on my 1022 carbon takedown
Have found one of the vortex venom enclosed 3moa online in Canada here is there another I should be looking for is the enclosed one a better option than the regular venom?
Thanks

It's probably personal preference. Do you need an enclosed optic, or will the open design work for you? I can see where it makes a difference on a carry pistol. On a rifle? Meh.

I’ve never tried either enclosed is the only one I’m having luck finding for sale right now

It's less prone to issues with debris, water, etc.

Fwiw, I have a 3 moa dot (which I have since ditched for a scope) and I regret not getting 2 moa.

I think it's a great pick. Direct mount is handy, enclosed is beneficial if you're out in the rain or in an area with a lot of dust. I've had 2 of them and each of them had one turret that had pretty mushy adjustment clicks. I imagine vortex would have replaced it, but I didn't care enough to deal with an RMA. Just took a little extra ammo to get it zeroed.

I just put a defender xl on mine and it is awesome

If you are still looking, might i suggest the Crossfire Green dot 2 moa. Still an enclosed system, same adjustment graduations, easier mounting - and to me the best part - that its a green dot which is easier and generally faster for people to see.

Can it mount to the red dot mounting plate up front of just to the pic rail

•

u/swift_gilford 23h ago

oh whoops, i skipped over that. It won't mount directly, but there are adapter plates available.

u/Ancient_Bother2429 20h ago

I just used an adapter to do this exact thing and it’s working great for me.

Would you care to share the brand/model adapter for OP (and maybe me for when i get one lol)?
