The Ravin R161 Reflex Sight delivers precision targeting for crossbow hunters and shooters who demand consistent accuracy at extended ranges. This compact red dot optic mounts directly to Ravin crossbow rails, providing fast target acquisition without the bulk of traditional scopes.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard crossbow scopes that require precise eye alignment, the R161 reflex sight allows shooters to maintain both eyes open for enhanced peripheral vision and faster follow-up shots. The unlimited eye relief design accommodates various shooting positions while maintaining zero retention through heavy crossbow recoil. Multi-coated lenses maximize light transmission in low-light hunting conditions where game movement peaks.
Key Features
- 3 MOA red dot reticle for precise shot placement at hunting distances
- Aircraft-grade aluminum housing withstands crossbow shock and recoil
- Integrated Picatinny mount fits Ravin crossbow rail systems
- 11-position brightness adjustment for dawn and dusk hunting
- Nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed for waterproof performance
- Auto shut-off feature preserves battery life during extended hunts
- Parallax-free design maintains accuracy across shooting distances
Field performance testing demonstrates consistent point-of-impact retention through temperature fluctuations and repeated shooting sessions. The sight maintains zero through crossbow string vibration and bolt release shock that typically shifts inferior optics. Hunters report successful shots on whitetail deer at ranges exceeding 50 yards, while competition shooters appreciate the rapid target transitions possible with both eyes open.
