20130122-212254.jpg

The 4×32 BROWE SPORT Optic (BSO) is a purpose designed and built optic for AR-style rifles that is a non-powered alternative to the BROWE Combat Optic (BCO). It features a housing machined from solid Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum combined with SCHOTT Glass, and FLIR etched mirror reticle. It’s also waterproof and fog proof. The new Sport Optic also fits all the accessories offered for the 4×32 BCO.

The BSO’s most interesting feature is the battery free, Rechargeable Illumination Technology (RIT) reticle, which is environmentally friendly and non toxic. It’s kind of like using your flashlight to charge your cat eyes on your PC before a patrol. So basically, you charge it for about 15 seconds before you use it in low light. Notice it’s a SPORT optic there race fans. So no, it’s not designed for combat use. Not if you have to stop and charge it up before you use it.

This graphic will give you an idea of what the reticle looks like during day and at night while charged and glowing.

    With an MSRP of $800 +, it really oughta be combat-worthy.

    37mm of eye relief is like 1.5″.

    Thanks but no thanks.

    Please don’t get confused by the name, this optic was designed for the POLAND MoD. It’s has tough and as Military rugged as it gets. We would never forget our roots!

    The BSO is geared and priced to hit the LE market with a street price of 799.00, which includes the mount.

    @BBrowe, Can you export this for civillian use easily? Or is it a major pain thanks to ITAR? Would certainly be a good competition for the Trijicon dealers over here in New Zealand. Do you guys have a dealer/importer over here? I have never seen any of your products available.
    Cheers!
