New Product Highlight: Osight XE AMRS

Have you jumped on the enclosed-emitter bandwagon yet? If you have, there’s a brand-new red dot you should take a look at.

The new Osight XE AMRS is one of the more innovative optics to hit the market this summer, and it’s priced very reasonably.

While I haven’t seen one in person, here’s what we know so far.

The big news is the XER AMRS reticle. Multi-reticles are nothing new, but this one adds a twist: the center dot can be either 3 MOA or 6 MOA in one optic.

That gives you five options:

• 3-MOA dot
• 3-MOA dot, 32-MOA ring
• 6-MOA dot
• 6-MOA dot, 32-MOA ring
• 32-MOA ring

Most of us develop a preference and stick with it, but this is a great option for new shooters who want to try different reticle sizes and combinations without buying multiple optics.

There are eight daylight and two night-vision brightness settings. The XE AMRS puts itself to sleep after three minutes of inactivity, and motion activation fires up the last setting you used.

Unlike early Osight red dots, the XE AMRS doesn’t use an internal, rechargeable power cell. Instead, power comes from a CR1632 battery in a side-loading battery tray that doesn't require you to remove, reinstall, and re-zero the optic every time you replace the battery.

Some of us like to be able to see our iron sights just in case our optic fails, so Osight built a pop-up rear sight into the XE AMRS. I suspect that will cause a vertical shift in point of impact, but it’s easier than installing suppressor-height sights.

The XE AMRS uses the RMR footprint, so you should have plenty of mounting options. Osight has a fitment guide with information on specific makes and models.

All in all, it looks like a very nifty little pistol optic.

Osight lists an MSRP of $249.99 for the XE AMRS.
