Gideon Mediator Enclosed Emitter Red Dot Sight

The overall trend with red dot sights is toward the enclosed design variety. We can have a nice discussion on whether that trend is counterproductive or not and I can argue both for an against it.
Overall, I think enclosed red dot sights do have an edge, but making them well and on a budget cane get a little tricky. It is much easier to make compact high quality open emitter red dot sights with a relatively large window.
The most undeniable advantage of enclosed red dot sights is their performance during inclement weather. They are much easier to keep running in snow, rain, mud, etc.
Gideon's enclosed RDS is called the Mediator.

It has been very capable during the time I have had it.
After moving it from gun to gun quite a bit, I decided to set it up as an offset optic on a DMR-ish rifle where Delta Stryker 1-10x28 is the primary optic. It works very nicely in that role.
