For the last several weeks, I’ve had the chance to test drive the quick-install Bushnell Enrage, the company’s updated red dot optic. The experience led me to change my view of a competitor’s popular optic.
This red dot optic is simple in more ways than one. It ships complete with a high mount, Allen wrench for tightening, and 2032 battery. That makes shopping, installation, and powering it up easy. Looking through the lens, the view is a simple 2 MOA red dot; nothing else. Simple, in this case, is good.

The unit is 4.75 inches long. The bore-reticle offset looks to my measurements to be 3.0 inches, but in practice the offset was around the 2.5-2.75-inch mark.
