Easy on the Eyes: Viridian RFX11 and RFX15 Green Dot Sights
Viridian is probably best known for their laser aiming packages geared toward small, concealed carry pistols. But they produce several reflex sights perfect for tactical rifles and optics-ready handguns. One unique feature across the lineup is the use of green dots and green lasers, rather than red, which is easy on the eyes and does not wash out in harsh sunlight. The RFX11 and RFX15 represent Viridian's most economical options that perform above the price. Let's see how they stack up.
