Newcomer BROWE Inc has introduced their 4 x 32 Combat Optic (BCO). Packed in a titanium housing, the BCO features a Single Intuitive Control (SIC) button, Target Light Sensor Technology, field programmable BCO Microcontroller, and a Vibration Motion Sensor.
The SIC button offers Automatic Mode at a single press which will utilize the Target Light Sensor Technology to measure the light transmission and automatically set the reticle illumination to the proper brightness. When you press it a second time the BCO enters into Manual Mode offering the choice of 10 day settings and 3 night vision settings.
The BCO has been designed with future improvements in mind. The is a sealed utility port at the backside of the battery housing which can be used to update the operating firmware or customize the existing program, or to attach remote pressure pad switch. What’s even more interesting is that this port can also be used to import or export power meaning that accessories such as lasers or mini red dots could be powered from the BCO battery. Since it’s also capable of importing power, it can run on an external power source such as powered rail.
Additionally, it boasts an average battery life of 2000 hours (at least 775 on max) partically due to the Vibration Motion Sensor which places the BCO in SLEEP mode if motion is not detected for two hours.
There are several models available with various reticles including NATO Chevron, NATO Crosshair and US Army Mil Dot. Finally, the BCO comes standard with an A.R.M.S. Mk II Throw Lever Mount. There is also a new LaRue mount that will be unveiled at SHOT Show. Many hope that there will be additional options as well.
