Vector Optics Maverick MIL (IPX6) 1x22 Red Dot Sight, Black

Maverick MIL in a nutshell: “Aight boys, let’s get that bread!” The sight’s design set off from the fact that these days, when going through the (FOB gate) door, you never know what kind of a ruckus is out there and it would actually be desirable if the sight could also hold up.

Compared to first-generation Mavericks, the MIL version has been upgraded with IPX6 rated protection, a rubber cover on top a chassis manufactured from 6061 aluminum and a generally updated feel. The manufacturer promises that the sight endures 30 minutes of immersion in water 1 meter deep – more of this water protection below.

IPX6, the what now?

IPX6, as classified by the IP Standard, is a rating of protection against mechanical intrusion. The letter X means that protection against solid particles, like dust, has not been measured. The number 6 indicates protection against powerful water jets.

Testing procedure goes as follows: 100 liters per minute of water with a pressure of 100 kilopascals (15 psi) is directed at the product from a distance of 3 meters. The test duration is 1 minute per square meter, with a minimum duration of 3 minutes. In other words, there’s not a lot to worry about water with an IPX6 rated product!

Maverick MIL vs. Maverick Gen. 2

A tough decision as their features overlap, but with this chart you are sure to make a good choice!

Feature:	Maverick MIL	Maverick Gen. 2
Attachment mounts:	Low and high	Low and medium
Mount compatibility:	MIL mounts only	Gen. 1, Gen. 2 and MIL mounts
Adjustment turrets:	Protected	No protection
Adjustment range:	60 MOA	100 MOA
Killflash included:	Yes	No
Waterproofing:	IPX6	Yes, without an official rating
NVG compatibility:	Maybe*	Yes

Both have much in common: shock proofing, rubber cover, excellent lenses and five-year warranty! As a rule of thumb: if the sight is going to watery environments, take the MIL and if the sight is going to be used with night-vision equipment, you should choose the Gen. 2.

*Vector states that the lowest brightness setting of Maverick Gen. 2’s is compatible with NVG equipment. No similar statement has been given about the Maverick MIL but, judging by eye, the lowest brightness setting is very dim.

Vector Optics

Sunclear Tac Vector Optics, or Vector Optics for short, is a company which manufactures optical sights, sight mounts, flashlights and other accessories for firearms. Most of the products are made from aluminum and are both shockproof and waterproof. The sights can handle recoil (for example, 5.56×45 and 7.62×51 mm) which means that they won’t adjust on their own because of the recoil or small blows in the ground. Furthermore, the tube-shaped red dot sights and scopes have been filled with nitrogen which prevents the lenses from fogging up on the inside.

5 years of warranty

We give all Vector Optics products a five-year warranty which covers flaws encountered in normal use, like manufacturing defects. In other words, you can use your product worry-free. And no wonder, because Vector Optics products are from an entirely different planet than products designed only for airsoft. These products can therefore handle a bit rougher going than their pure airsoft counterparts.

Note! Even lenses of sights designed for firearms may not withstand a hit from a BB. Always use a lens cover with optics and sights.
