Get Them Accessories They'll Actually Use
The ultimate stocking-stuffer category, except these aren’t “small” upgrades. These are the pieces of gear that transform someone’s entire setup. This year’s biggest accessory launch, and the easiest gifts to wrap.
Ascend™ RMR Risers
For the shooter who demands a perfect sight picture. The Ascend gives complete height tuning for red-dot setups, allowing fast, consistent alignment whether they’re running rifle, PCC, or shotgun. Precise machining, clean lines, and repeatable positioning make this a standout upgrade.
Orbit™ RMR Mount
A minimalist, bombproof mount designed for stability. The Orbit keeps a red dot locked into place with precision and durability top-of-mind - ideal for shooters who hate shifting zero or bulky mounting systems.
Sidekick™ 45° Offset RMR Mount
The fastest transition in the game. With the Sidekick, switching from magnified to close-range targets is instant. Competition shooters love it, but hunters and tactical shooters get just as much value when things get fast and close.

Onyx 34mm Competition Rings
Purpose-built for precision rifle competitors. The Onyx rings deliver uniform clamping pressure, exceptional alignment, and a rock-solid hold on your glass. Lightweight but unbelievably strong, they’re built for shooters who need dependable tracking and consistent zero through every stage.
Hunter 30mm Rings
Rugged, dependable, and ready for the backcountry. Designed with the same precision as the Onyx line but tailored for hunters who demand lighter weight, clean lines, and field-ready reliability. These are the mounts you want on a rifle that sees real terrain and weather.
LockDown™ Quick-Detach Mount
Versatility meets strength. The LockDown™ allows shooters to remove and re-mount their optic with confidence, maintaining zero while offering modularity across rifles or setups. A premium gift for anyone who loves swapping configurations without sacrificing accuracy. Perfect for: PRS shooters, long-range competitors, field shooters, rifle builders, and hunters upgrading their backcountry rigs.
TiltLock™ Leveling System
Because perfect is easier when the system does the work for you. The TiltLock™ is one of those gifts people don’t know they need until they use it the first time. This innovative levelling system aligns your optics to your rifle so that you can can level the optic with absolute precision and zero guesswork, quickly! Fully compatible with all picattinny rails and rings, and even works with our LockDown cantilevered mount!
ARDs – Anti-Reflective Devices
Cut glare, stay concealed, and protect your glass. Especially useful on those extremely bright days where added image resolution is necessary, an ARD can make all the difference!
Rival 4–32×56 ARD - Built specifically for the Rival’s 56mm objective lens, reducing reflection and helping shooters stay on target on bright days and open terrain.
Hunter ARD - Designed for the Hunter 3-15x44 series, giving backcountry hunters extra concealment and added lens protection when the sun or angle is working against them.
A red dot is one of the most universal optics you can give. Fast to use, simple to mount, and reliable across rifles, PCC builds, shotguns, and backcountry pistols, it’s a practical gift that fits nearly every shooter.
Great for:
- New shooters building their first setup
- Hunters needing a lightweight close-range option
- Competitive shooters who want speed
- Backcountry and sidearm setups
If you want something that gets used immediately on Christmas morning, then this is the right choice!
