    Additional Information on the Optic:

    When mission accomplishment depends on speed and precision the SR-4C raises the bar and the brass ring.

    Versatility always seems to come full circle.  Red dot sights have proven to be an indispensable tool for CQB and rapid target acquisition.  Enter the SR‑4C, it integrates the strengths of a red dot sight into a compact, unitized package with the added benefit of a 1-4X range of magnification. The SR-4C features a true 1X power, 4 MOA, daylight visible red dot sight rolled up in a rugged 30mm hard-anodized aluminum body.  The second focal plane red dot can be set at any of 12 pre-programmed intensity settings. The lower four settings are night vision compatible. The SR-4C comes standard with a non-lit, MIL Scale* reticle for ranging and acquiring targets at short distances to 400+ yards and in close quarters conditions.

  • Custom Art Piece of Wooden American Flag by Bronze Star Recipient Marine and Veteran Owned Business: Dollar Mountain Woodworks

    This art is beautiful and rustic. It is a perfect piece for a man cave or an office piece. Made by a Marine Hero Bronze Star recipient. A real piece of American Made Art from one of our countries own Hero's. Please check out his story, his facebook page, and his website for his amazing work:


    Dollar Mountain Woodworks started out of necessity after my wife and I had our third child. We needed a piece that was strong, solid and timeless that would give us room to grow. Over the course of several months we made several other items and had many requests from friends and family to build items for them. My number one priority is to build items that are solid and timeless. My wish is that every project we send out of the shop is an instant conversation starter. Each piece that I produce is hard for me to let go. I can only hope that you will find the beauty in the details and that each one does not go unnoticed.


    Dollar Mountain Woodworks was started towards the end of my 17 year Marine Corps career. After serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, Eastern Europe and several other countries, I found an outlet in wood working that helped me transition into the civilian world as well as interact with my four children. Our children are incorporated into every build in one way or another and are given the opportunity to watch and learn from start to finish. While you might be receiving a piece of furniture or art for your home, we are building memories. Thank you for allowing us to work together and God bless. http://www.dollarmountainwoodworks.com/ Also SEE their Facebook Page as well.
