    What MOA sizes are available on the Vortex Defender-XL and what are they for?

    The Vortex Defender-XL is available in 2, 3, 5, and 8 MOA configurations:

    2 MOA: great for precision shooting at longer distances.

    3 MOA: balanced option for mixed use.

    5 MOA: ideal for fast target acquisition in dynamic shooting.

    8 MOA: best for close-quarters speed shooting.

    Target coverage at common distances:

    2 MOA ≈ 1.15 in at 50 m / 2.3 in at 100 m

    3 MOA ≈ 1.7 in at 50 m / 3.4 in at 100 m

    5 MOA ≈ 2.85 in at 50 m / 5.7 in at 100 m

    8 MOA ≈ 4.6 in at 50 m / 9.2 in at 100 m

    What is the Shield RMS™ footprint and why does it matter?

    The Shield RMS™ footprint is a mounting interface compatible with many modern optics-ready firearms. It allows direct mounting on some handgun slides and, with adapters, on rifles or shotguns. This gives the Defender-XL broad compatibility with tactical, sporting and hunting platforms.

    Can the Vortex Defender-XL handle hard use and large calibers?

    Absolutely. It is fully waterproof, shockproof and constructed from rugged aluminum with a reinforced lens. Designed to withstand recoil from calibers like .308 or 12 gauge, it's a reliable choice for hunters and sport shooters alike.

    What are the benefits of the aspheric lens and fixed parallax setting?

    The aspheric lens corrects optical distortions, offering a crisp, edge-to-edge image.
    The fixed parallax setting is tuned at 50 yards (45.7 m), which is ideal for most practical shooting scenarios. This ensures a consistent point of aim even when the eye is slightly off-axis.

    I had the pleasure of purchasing the 150th Anniversary Edition Cometa 400 Fenix ​​​​at the lowest price I could find online from these kind people. I also indicated that I am passionate about wood and that it would be great if they could send me a nicely figured example. These come with Spanish Walnut stocks. I'm not sure what was done in the background, but I can certainly say my hopes were met on this point!! Excellent communication and overall customer service as I had a few inquiries that were promptly answered. Shipping to France was FAST, easy, and inexpensive. I don't normally write these reviews, but this exceptional service motivated me to do so. I highly recommend this store!
