It runs on a single CR123A battery, offers ten brightness levels, and lets you toggle between red and green aiming dots. The sealed internal optics resist fog and the low-reflective hard-coat finish reduces glare while protecting the housing from wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 553 sight stay compact without sacrificing functionality?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit uses a single transverse CR123A cell positioned to shorten the overall length, so the mount requires just under 2 3\/4 inches of rail space. The streamlined base and low-profile turrets preserve rail real estate for other accessories.
