All sales final. *** Crimson Trace 3.5x Battlesight (OD-CTS-1100) The CTS-1100 is the only one of the new optics that isn’t a red dot. It is a magnified optic offering 3.5x magnification. Crimson Trace refers to it as an Illuminated 3.5x Battlesight, and it is intended for use on a rifle or carbine. The integral mount puts it at the right height to use on a MSR. The illuminated bullet-drop compensating (BDC) reticle is a bit of a hybrid and is Crimson Trace’s own design. The reticle consists of a 36-MOA circle which aids in quick aiming. The bottom of the circle is open, and the BDC part of the reticle is a small triangle above a hash-marked post which extends down to the open bottom of the circle. The crossbars on the post aren’t marked for distance or drop, but are meant to work with popular calibers. The bottom of the triangle is 4.2 MOA down from the point of the triangle at the center of the reticle, and the three crossbars below it are at 7.3, 11 and 15.4 MOA. The crossbars (and the base of the triangle) are 4 MOA in width to assist with range estimation. Both the post and the circle are fully illuminated, but you don’t have to turn the power on to use the scope. With the illumination off, the reticle is a nice, bold black in your eyepiece. Windage and elevation adjustment are .5-MOA clicks, with 70 MOA of adjustment. The unit features the company’s Intelligent Power Management (IPM) that turns the illumination off after 90 minutes of inactivity to prolong battery life. The housing for the scope is machined from one solid piece of aluminum that includes an integral M1913 compatible mount. With the integral base, this scope weighs 1 pound and is 5.4 inches long by 2.3 inches wide by 3 inches tall in size. The only things not aluminum on the exterior of the scope are the polymer protective wings just in front of the windage adjustment turret and the control pad for the illumination brightness. As for the illumination controls, they’re just three raised buttons. The forward button is the on/off. The two rear buttons are to adjust the brightness up and down. One push of the activation button turns the illumination on, and holding the button for three seconds shuts it off. The illumination is powered by one CR2032 battery. The CTS offers 10 brightness settings, nine for daylight visibility and one for night vision. The eye relief on this scope is about 1.75 inches and is designed to be the right height off the rail to use on a MSR. Crimson Trace advertises the scope as being shock, impact, fog and vibration resistant as well as being waterproof. The black reticle is always there, which means if you’ve got light enough to see the reticle, you’ll be able to use the scope no matter what the temperature. Why call it a “Battlesight?” Low-power magnified scopes have been chosen by militaries for use on rifles for decades. Currently, the Canadian military uses the 3.4x C79 made by ELCAN, and you can find the 4x SUSAT atop British bullpups. The 3.5x magnification allows you to see targets at all distances more clearly while CTS 1100 still providing a good field of view.
