Special Features

• The AR-BDC3 reticle is glass-etched and calibrated specifically for the ballistic performance of common 5.56 and .308 loads, giving you practical holdover references matched to the cartridges most AR shooters actually run.
• A 1 MOA illuminated center dot and a 16.625 MOA broken circle work together to pull the eye on target fast at 1x, delivering red-dot style speed without mounting a separate optic.
• BDC hash marks extend holdover utility to 650 yards, adding distance capability to a scope built primarily for speed.
• XD index-matched lenses correct color across the full visual spectrum, and fully multi-coated glass maximizes light transmission for a clear, bright sight picture in variable lighting.
• ArmorTek exterior coating protects the lenses with a hard, scratch-resistant surface that sheds oil and dirt in the field.
• A throw lever ships with the scope for fast power ring transitions between stages or field positions.

Practical Benefits

• The true 1x low end lets you run the VEN-1601 with both eyes open at close range, then dial to 6x when a precise shot at distance demands it, covering the full engagement spectrum a carbine shooter faces.
• At 19.5 ounces and 10.3 inches, this optic keeps your AR balanced and comfortable through long range sessions or competition stages.
• Compatible with standard 30mm rings and mounts, the VEN-1601 fits most AR-15 and MSR flattop platforms without specialty hardware.

The Vortex Venom 1-6×24 SFP Riflescope (VEN-1601) with the AR-BDC3 MOA reticle is a capable tool for the carbine shooter who wants fast close-range performance and reliable mid-range precision in a single, purpose-built optic.
