Introducing Lerna, the pioneering stand-alone optic mount designed for end-users. Featuring a 2.91 inches optic centerline, it ensures quicker target identification even with obstructions like EarPro/Comms headsets, gas masks/CBRN gear and night vision equipment. The elevated optic position promotes a more agile posture and heads up stance, enabling users to maintain a vertical spine and present body armor or plates swiftly to potential threats. This heads up approach enhances processing speed and situational awareness for heightened operational effectiveness.
