FAQ

Quick answers about Hakken optics and ordering.

What does pre-order mean?

You reserve the optic now and it ships as soon as stock arrives, in the order pre-orders were placed. You can cancel for a full refund any time before it ships.

What's the difference between a red dot and a holographic sight?

A red dot reflects an LED off a coated lens. A holographic sight like the RAID® projects the reticle as a hologram rather than reflecting a single dot.

What does first focal plane (FFP) mean?

On an FFP scope like the AURORA®, the reticle scales with magnification, so holdovers stay accurate at every zoom level.

Will it fit my rail?

Every Hakken optic mounts to a Picatinny rail. The PRISM® sights include a rifle adapter and can also mount directly to compatible pistol plates. Check the Rail Adapter line in each product's specifications.

What battery do the sights use?

The PRISM®, THUNDER®, RAID® and AURORA® all use a single CR2032. Rated battery life is listed in each product's specifications.

Can I use a magnifier with my red dot?

Yes. The SFM®-3 sits behind most non-magnifying sights and flips to the side when you don't need it. The RAID® and THUNDER® are rated for use with up to a 3X magnifier.

How much is shipping?

Shipping within Canada is free on orders over $900 CAD. Otherwise you'll see the rate at checkout before you pay.
