Sig Sauer ECHO3
Sig Sauer Electro-Optics ECHO3 direct-view thermal reflex sight with BDX technology is a significant improvement over traditional eyepiece-style thermals that induce eye fatigue by forcing the shooter to look through the sight.

Built-in Ballistic Data Xchange (BDX 2.0) technology allows the sight to be used with 9 different onboard SmartBDC™ ballistic holdover reticles or paired with any KILOBDX rangefinder. Total elevation travel 150MOA x 150MOA. Adjustment increments 0.5 MOA. View screen images in six brightness settings and eight color palettes: Red, Red Hot, Black Hot, White Hot, Edge, Tyrian, Iron and Fire.
