Overview
The Paragon 3x18 gives a carbine a compact fixed-power sight with an etched VEPS-MBR reticle. Its 1 MOA center dot, illuminated ring, and .223 BDC remain visible as black etching when the battery is off. At 7.9 ounces and three inches long, it saves rail space compared with an LPVO. Fixed 3x and 2.65 inches of eye relief demand more deliberate head placement than a red dot.
