Geissele Super Precision SOPMOD Certified 30mm Scope Mount - Desert Dirt, Compatible with Vortex 1-6 Scopes
Geissele Automatics
The Geissele Super Precision 1-6x26 30mm riflescope is purpose-built for AR platform shooters who need fast target acquisition and effective firepower across short-to-medium ranges. This 1-6x magnification scope pairs a true 1x wide field of view for close-quarters work with 6x magnification for precision at distance, making it equally at home on a defensive rifle, competition gun, or hunting carbine. The 26mm objective lens gathers ample light and works with Geissele's proprietary optical design to deliver a sharp, color-accurate image that doesn't wash out or darken as you dial magnification.
What sets this scope apart is the illuminated DmmR-1 reticle, a Geissele-exclusive design built around MIL-based measurements rather than a single caliber. That flexibility means the reticle works across multiple cartridges and platforms—you're not locked into one load or rifle. The DmmR-1 includes half-mil tick marks for fine adjustments, and at 6x magnification you can estimate range to a target using standard body dimensions (shoulder width or shoulder-to-waist ratio) at 300, 400, or 500 meters. As a second focal plane scope, the reticle size stays consistent across the zoom range, so your aim point doesn't appear to shift when you change magnification.
Built tough for field use, the tube is 30mm aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum finished in Desert Dirt (DDC) Type-3 Hardcoat Anodize—a durable finish that resists corrosion and doesn't shine in harsh light. The internal lens system is manufactured to strict Japanese optics standards, while Geissele's engineers designed the scope architecture in-house. This is a working tool built by shooters for shooters, without unnecessary complexity.

Yes. Geissele built this scope specifically with AR platforms in mind, though the caliber-independent MIL reticle makes it compatible with a wide variety of rifle types and cartridges.
The DmmR-1 is a Geissele proprietary design that combines quick target acquisition with built-in range estimation. At 6x magnification, you can estimate range to a target using shoulder width or shoulder-to-waist body ratios at standard distances (300, 400, 500m), and the reticle's MIL-based half-mil marks let you fine-tune elevation and windage adjustments for any cartridge. Because it's not caliber-specific, one scope works across multiple platforms.
The 1-6x magnification range, fast 1x wide field of view, and effective range at medium distances make it suitable for both hunting at short-to-medium range and AR-platform tactical use. The illuminated reticle and range-estimation marks support both disciplines.
The scope uses a 30mm tube, which provides greater adjustment range and allows more vertical and windage correction than smaller tubes—a practical advantage if you're dialing for longer distances or non-standard mounting heights.
