Overview

The Gideon Optics Judge II is an open-emitter micro dot for RMSc-compatible slides and plates. Its extended aluminum lens shroud surrounds a 20mm-wide by 18mm-tall window, giving the front lens more housing coverage while keeping the optic at 1.2 oz with the battery installed. The 3 MOA dot is available in red or green.

The side-loading CR1632 battery can be replaced without removing the optic. Ten brightness levels include two night-vision settings, and shake-to-awake puts the sight to sleep after 225 seconds without movement. Windage and elevation each provide 35 MOA of travel at 1 MOA per click. Gideon includes a 1913 Picatinny mount for rail use.
