Built around a lightweight aluminum body weighing approximately 8 ounces, the RIP-3C delivers day-and-night targeting capability for hunters, sport shooters, ranch operators, and tactical professionals who need a single device that handles both visible aiming and night vision aiming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe RIP-3C mounts to any standard M1913 Picatinny rail with a low-profile design that sits lower than most other laser sights, leaving more rail real estate for other accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCo-Aligned Lasers for Simplified Zeroing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe visible green laser and the infrared laser are coaxially aligned, meaning when you zero one, you zero both. Windage and elevation adjustments are made via 0.25 mil per click with ±20 mil of total travel tactile, positive clicks that can be turned with the rim of a single cartridge case in the field. No extra tools required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eVCSEL IR Illuminator with Adjustable Spot Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) IR illuminator delivers stable, even illumination with an adjustable divergence of 45 to 140 mrad. The IR aiming laser stays precisely centered within the IR illumination spot regardless of beam width adjustment, giving you covert precision when paired with night vision goggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eGreen visible laser 520 ± 15nm, less than 5mW, Class 3a Infrared aiming laser 820 ± 15nm, less than 3mW, Class 3a VCSEL infrared illuminator 850 ± 15nm, less than 3mW, Class 3a Visible white LED illuminator less than 120 lumens IR illuminator divergence adjustable from 45 to 140 mrad Co-aligned visible and IR lasers for simultaneous zeroing 0.25 mil click windage and elevation adjustment with ±20 mil total travel Range up to 550 yards for both visible green laser and IR laser IR illuminator effective out to 170 yards M1913 Picatinny mil-standard mount with low-profile design Lightweight aluminum alloy housing 1000G impact resistance for hard-use durability IP67 rated waterproof and dust-tight Master switch on top of housing plus crane switch port for remote pressure pad operation Rotary gear knob selects between operating modes Operating temperature range from -4°F to +122°F Powered by a single CR123A battery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOperating Modes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eRotate the gear switch to select between the following operating modes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eVL Visible Laser VI Visible Illuminator (white LED) VLI Visible Laser plus Visible Illuminator IRL IR Laser IRLI IR Laser plus IR Illuminator OFF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOutput\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eGreen Laser: 520 ± 15nm, \u0026lt;

The IR illuminator floods the area with infrared light to make the target zone visible through night vision, similar to a flashlight that only shows up under NV. The RIP-3C has both, and they're co-aligned so the IR laser stays centered in the illuminator beam regardless of how wide you adjust the illuminator divergence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIs the green laser visible during the day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes. The 520nm green visible laser is significantly more visible to the human eye than red lasers and remains useful in daylight conditions, though peak visibility is in low-light environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHow is the RIP-3C powered?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA single CR123A battery powers all functions of the RIP-3C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHow are the lasers zeroed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe visible and IR lasers are coaxially aligned, meaning zeroing one zeros both.
