Overview
The Vector Optics Frenzy Plus 1x31x26 Solar is built around an unusually large 26x31mm window. That broad opening makes the 3 MOA dot easier to recover during fast transitions and awkward shooting positions, especially on competition carbines and PCCs where speed matters more than keeping the optic small.
Solar backup can power the dot when the batteries are absent or the sight is switched into solar mode. Two AAA batteries handle normal operation for up to 50,000 hours at the lowest setting, while a motion sensor manages sleep and wake. Nine daylight and two night-vision brightness levels cover bright outdoor stages and low-light use.
The included tool-free Weaver/Picatinny mount removes without a wrench, and the removable aluminum shroud adds impact protection around the open emitter and window. The tradeoff is weight. At 10.5 ounces, this sight weighs more than many enclosed micro dots with their mounts, so it suits a competition or range carbine better than a rifle built around minimum carry weight.
