![]() The Double Shoot app opens the door to 20. Downloading the Double Shoot app allows for multiple profiles.įive different reticles are available to choose from in the Meprolight app. Linking the sight to the Meprolight app via Bluetooth, you’re able to choose your profile based on the host weapon. Pressing the power button twice gets you the main menu where you can zero, set up the compass and cycle through the various reticles. ![]() ![]() Moving between weapon systems, it worked well on all without the need of a cheek riser. With dual, adjustable throw levers, mounting the Foresight to any Picatinny base is simple and it co-witnesses like most any AR optic with the appropriate cheek height. Our primary test rifle was the new-for-2020 IWI Zion 15. A dual, adjustable throw lever mounting system, coupled with a center Picatinny recoil lug, creates a strong and secure mounting interface with the weapon. The battery is rechargeable via the included USB cable. Multiple profiles can be stored for multiple weapon platforms, and when swapping the optic from gun-to-gun, simply choose the previously recorded weapon and your zero is changed to match. If you are smartphone savvy, this all will be very intuitive if not, it might seem a bit complex. Link the Foresight with Double Shoot and you have over 20 reticles, along with a simple zeroing method, shot counter, and the ability to store multiple rifle profiles. Green reticles are easy on the eyes with manually-adjustable or automatic intensity and five available reticles at any given time. The Foresight is accurately described as an “augmented red dot sight.” Rather than just a dot or circle-dot you are provided multiple reticles in a display that includes real time data, like your level and compass position in degrees. In place of a standard replaceable battery, the Foresight uses a sealed rechargeable battery that allows charging with a standard USB-C cable (included). The large, front-mounted control pad gains you manual access to all of the Foresight’s functions. Reticle brightness can be controlled manually or automatically and the sight features motion-sensing technology. The clear, high-transparency optics - as seen through the sight’s large 33x20mm viewing window - not only have the capability of displaying the reticle but also battery status, a digital compass, a sight roll indicator, a shot counter and magazine bullet countdown and your Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth capable, USB rechargeable and with an augmented screen including real time data and multiple reticles, for many this is the future of rifle sighting systems. With a screen more like a heads-up display and integration with the Double Shoot phone application, Meprolight’s Foresight is a prime example. No surprise, given how integral they are to most people these days, and as phones have improved in durability, battery life, and ease of integration, it’s an aspect of the shooter’s life that will only continue to grow. As the next generation of shooters commands the market, you are starting to see the integration of smartphone technology with greater frequency. Sighting systems have seen incredible changes over the years. The most-advanced carbine optic in existence?
