Aim-O RD-1 Red Dot Desert

The Aim-O RD-1 Red Dot Desert is a compact and lightweight red dot sight that is renowned as one of the most popular sights in the airsoft world. Thanks to its low-profile mount, the choice between a red or green dot, and its robust aluminium construction, this sight is ideal for both CQB and outdoor skirmishes.

What’s more, the desert-coloured finish goes perfectly with tan, coyote and Multicam loadouts.

Compact and quick to aim

With its compact size and 1x magnification, the RD-1 offers a natural sight picture that allows you to keep both eyes open whilst aiming. This ensures rapid target acquisition without losing your field of view.

The low-profile mount makes this sight particularly suitable for replicas with a raised rail, such as the G36, but also for M4, AK and SMG platforms with a standard Picatinny rail.

Red or green dot with five brightness settings

You can easily choose between a red or green dot, both of which feature five brightness settings. This ensures the aiming point remains clearly visible in a range of lighting conditions, from dark CQB environments to bright sunlight.

Sturdy aluminium construction

The Aim-O RD-1 is made from CNC-machined aluminium and finished with a matt, non-reflective desert-coloured coating.

In addition, the sight features:

• Anti-reflective lens
• Scratch-resistant lens coating
• Splash-proof construction
• Shock-resistant design
• Compact and lightweight design

With a 22 mm objective lens, the sight provides a clear view of the target without adding any unnecessary extra weight.

Can be precisely adjusted

The windage and elevation adjustments allow you to fine-tune the aiming point to match the point of impact of your BBs.

The sight comes with:

• Allen key
• Cleaning wipe

It fits any 22 mm Picatinny/RIS rail.

Please note: The product specifications refer to a CR1620 battery, whilst the additional product information mentions a CR2032 battery. Before purchasing or installing the product, please check which type of battery your model uses.
