What are the reticle options for the Cyborg 1X?

The Monstrum Tactical Cyborg 1X offers two reticle selections: a traditional circle dot and a DX1 reticle system. The DX1 is a more squared-off design with a center dot, while the circle dot provides a classic aiming point.

How does the illumination work on the Cyborg 1X?

The Cyborg 1X features push-button controls for red and green illumination. It includes an auto-shutoff after one hour and a pseudo shake-away feature that reactivates the optic upon motion sensing within that hour.
