Athlon Optics Midas Blaze Red Dot Sight

The Athlon Midas Blaze delivers sealed tube protection, 50,000-hour battery life, and motion-sensor activation in a 5.5 oz package at under $200.

The 2 MOA dot provides a fine aiming point through a 25mm fully multi-coated objective, and the 0.5 MOA click adjustments give you precise zeroing control. The enclosed tube design keeps rain, dust, and debris away from the emitter. Ten brightness settings handle everything from dim indoor ranges to bright sun, and the motion sensor sleeps the unit after 5 minutes of inactivity, waking it the instant movement is detected.

Two picatinny mounts are included: a 1.57" high mount for 1/3 co-witness with AR iron sights, and a 0.82" low mount for shotguns and lower-profile setups. The aircraft-grade aluminum chassis is nitrogen purged, waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof.

Key Features

• Enclosed tube design with 25mm objective — sealed emitter protected from rain, dust, and debris
• 2 MOA red dot — fine enough for precise shot placement, fast enough for close-range work
• 50,000 hours battery life — over 5 years of constant-on runtime at medium brightness
• Motion-activated sleep/wake — sleeps after 5 minutes of inactivity, wakes instantly on movement
• 0.5 MOA click adjustments — for fine zeroing control
• Two mounts included — 1.57" high mount (1/3 co-witness on ARs) and 0.82" low mount (shotguns, low-profile setups)
• Fully multi-coated optics — bright, true-color dot projection
• 5.5 oz / 2.8" — 1.3 oz lighter than the Midas Strobe

Ideal For

Budget-conscious AR and PCC shooters who want an enclosed emitter at a lower entry point — the Blaze has the same 50,000-hour battery life and motion-wake as the Midas Strobe.

Shotgun hunters who need a rugged, low-profile optic that handles recoil and weather — the included 0.82" low mount sits close to the bore, and the sealed tube shrugs off rain and brush contact.

First red dot buyers who want a forgiving, feature-rich optic to learn on — the 2 MOA dot is precise without being hard to find, and the motion-wake means it's always ready.

Compatibility

Mounts to most standard picatinny rails. Two mount heights included: 1.57" high mount for 1/3 co-witness with standard AR iron sights, or 0.82" low mount for shotguns and low-profile platforms.
