Circle Dot Optic
Circle Dot Optic Holographic Sight | Precision Aiming Solution with Fast-Acquisition Design
The MHNV® MH-KW2S represents Xi'an MH Electronics And Technology's advanced approach to close-quarters and mid-range optical solutions. This Circle Dot Optic delivers a 635 nm red laser reticle combining a 1 MOA center dot with a 65 MOA outer ring across a 31.5×22.5 mm effective viewport. Built from 7075-T6 aerospace aluminum with hard black oxide treatment, the sight offers 2,000+ hours of continuous runtime, 16 total brightness settings (including 3 night-vision-compatible modes), parallax under 2 MOA, ±40 MOA adjustment range with 0.5 MOA clicks, 1,200 G shock resistance, IP68 waterproofing, and -40°C to +65°C operational capability—all at 240 g without battery.
What Makes Circle Dot Optic the Fastest Reticle System?
A product merges a fine central aiming point with a bold outer ring to address the fundamental trade-off between speed and precision. Your eye naturally centers the 65 MOA circle for rapid target pickup at close distances, while the 1 MOA dot ensures surgical accuracy out to 100 meters. This dual-reticle architecture eliminates "lost reticle syndrome" during high-recoil strings or awkward shooting positions, keeping a constant visual reference inside the optical window.
The MHNV MH-KW2S adopts this proven pattern with a 31.5×22.5 mm viewport—large enough to support both-eyes-open shooting. You maintain full situational awareness without sacrificing a crisp aiming point. Whether you're navigating dynamic competition stages or tracking moving subjects across open terrain, this reticle layout keeps you fast, precise, and fully engaged.
Professional-Grade Construction for Years of Rugged Service
CNC-machined from solid 7075-T6 aviation-grade aluminum, the MH-KW2S housing delivers exceptional structural rigidity, thermal stability, and impact resistance. The hard black oxide surface treatment—not a sprayed coating—prevents chipping, peeling, or wear from rail friction, holster contact, or abrasion during extended field use.
This is an optic built to withstand years of rugged service while maintaining a professional, like-new appearance. You get flagship-level construction at a significantly more accessible investment point. The tool-free Picatinny lever mount allows you to attach or remove the sight in under 10 seconds while maintaining excellent return-to-zero consistency—ideal for multi-platform users, quick cleaning routines, or swap-and-share scenarios.
Extended Battery Performance & Full Night-Vision Compatibility
The energy-efficient electronics are powered by a single CR123A battery and offer 2,000+ hours of continuous operation at moderate brightness settings—reducing maintenance intervals so you can focus on performance.
Select from 13 daylight brightness settings to suit a variety of ambient light circumstances, plus 3 specific nite vision compatible settings. The lower NV modes will be fully compatible with your Gen 2 and Gen 3 nite vision devices and will keep your reticle visible without blooming or washing out your image intensifier tubes.
Whether you're stepping out of strong sunshine into deep shade, or working in low light, you'll always have the optimum intensity for sharp, glare-free reticle visibility. The sight also has active battery-query and low-battery flicker indication so you won't be taken off guard.
Ultra-Low Parallax & Precision Click Adjustments
Aiming point is fixed independent of head position thus accuracy is consistent. Less than 2 MOA of parallax across the full 0-to-infinity operational range of the MH-KW2S means your point of contact will be true even in fast off angle shots or dynamic location changes.
The elevation and windage turrets include a ±40 MOA range of adjustment with 0.5 MOA each click, the same as the click resolution of top professional sights such as the EOTech EXPS3 and Vortex Razor AMG UH-1. This fine-tuning capacity gives confidence in zeroing on a wide variety of field platforms, training equipment and sporting setups. First round hits faster, zero to thousands of cycles.

Extreme-Environment Reliability & Lightweight Portability
Weighing only 240 g (without battery), the MH-KW2S Circle Dot Optic is one of the lightest full-metal holographic sights in its professional class. Engineered to perform where conditions are unforgiving, the sight meets:
- IP68 waterproofing — Fully submersible and sealed against dust ingress.
- 1,200 G shock resistance — Built to absorb heavy impacts and recoil forces.
- –40 to +65 °C operating range — Reliable in arctic cold, desert heat, coastal salt spray, and tropical humidity.
From alpine ridges to humid lowlands, the MH-KW2S delivers consistent, maintenance-free performance when you need it most. The nitrogen-purged optical chamber prevents internal fogging across rapid temperature swings, and the hard oxide finish resists corrosion in marine and industrial environments.
FAQ
Q: What is a product? Why does it go faster?
A: A product is a particular reticle configuration that has a fine core aiming point (often 1-2 MOA) surrounded by a bigger outside ring (often 65 MOA) that addresses the main industry pain point of balancing speed and accuracy in high-stress conditions. The human eye naturally focusses on the big circle for efficient target acquisition in close quarters, while the central dot provides surgical precision at distance, eliminating “lost reticle syndrome” during high-recoil sequences or in difficult shooting stances.
Q: Is there a separate way to switch between the dot and the circle?
A: Most professional product models have a Multi-Reticle System (MRS) that will allow you to select Dot Only, Circle Only or the combined Circle-Dot pattern. The MHNV MH-KW2S utilises a single 635 nm laser to project both components concurrently and is optimised for single-button brightness adjustment over 16 levels to provide both clear field-of-view and accurate aiming.
Q: How does the 65 MOA circle assist in ranging?
A: A 5'5" target is going to be just right in the circle at 100 yards for a normal 65 MOA setup, giving a fast analogue ranging tool. You may figure hold-over or check target distance without outside aids. This speeds up decision making on dynamic courses or in field observation.
Q: Will this product bloom for the astigmatic user?
A: LED circle dots can bloom although holographic ones or high grade carved reticles reduce this impact. We suggest users set the brightness to the lowest usable level for their lighting conditions, which often removes any perceived starburst or ghosting, and keeps the circle and dot crisp even at top settings.
Q: Is the battery life decreased when both the circle and the dot are on?
A: Yes, more surface area of the reticle illuminated improves power. The advanced electronics in the MH-KW2S lets it run for over 2,000 hours straight at medium brightness on a single CR123A battery and the 13-step daytime brightness control lets you cut down on intensity in overcast or shadowed conditions to increase runtime even more.
