"GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the new HEX™ line of optics, designed to deliver a higher standard of performance and superior optical support for handguns and long guns. The two new HEX optics offer intuitive target acquisition, faster follow-up shots and every-day dependability."
Any idea if they make it or have it made by an existing player under their name?
Do they use an existing footprint or yet another “unique snowflake” footprint ?
I’m pretty sure the smaller one (Wasp) uses the Shield RMSc footprint. I’m not sure about the bigger one (Dragonfly).Quote:

The “Springfield Standard,” that clears up all the confusion.Quote:

I would not lay money on the former, but rather the latter. $100.Quote:

Looking at the feature set, I'm strongly reminded of the Swamp Fox offerings. Since between my buddy and I we've owned, and returned, five of those in the last year as unusable in any lighting conditions involving sunlight, I'm going to let y'all figure out if these are even worth discussing...
My understanding is UTG is the OEM.
