unlikely to shift under recoil.
The C&H Precision COMP red dot sight is one of
the best red dot sights I’ve had the opportunity
to review. It’s rugged and perfectly suited to
tactical and competitive shooter demands. The
large objective window, with excellent optical
clarity, increases the speed of multiple target
engagements. Illumination is bright enough to
deal with the brightest environment while
maintaining night vision compatibility.
In closing, you can buy a Trijicon SRO at an
M.S.R.P. of $771, or a C&H COMP at $299 and
save over $400 for equally competent
performance. - SP
