Abstract: A system and method for activating an optic for a gun. A magnetic field from a magnet proximate the optic is detected. Power to the optic is turned off from a battery of the optic in response to detecting the magnetic field. Power to the optic is turned on from a battery in response to not detecting the magnetic field.

Abstract: An optical sight and system. The optical sight includes a housing including a base. A first support and a and a second support extend from the base. A top support extends between the first support and the second support. The top support extends over an optical element and includes a surface adjacent to the optical element. The top support of the housing defines at least one opening extending above a portion of the optical element. The optical element is supported by the housing between the base, the first support, and the second support.

Abstract: An optical sight, system, and method for a firearm. The optical sight includes a housing including a base. A first support and a second support extend from the base. A top support extends between the first support and the second support. The top support extends over an optical element and includes a surface adjacent to the optical element. A second cross member defining one or more openings between the first cross member and the first and second supports. An optical element supported by said housing between said first support and said second support. A reticle is displayed on the optical element.
