Greeley, CO -(Ammoland.com)- Steiner’s new “Intelligent” Combat Sight (ICS) integrates a laser rangefinder and a ballistic calculator into a rugged and compact tactical weapons sight.
The ICS, a true electro-optical aiming device, provides trajectory compensation by automatically calculating the point of aim based on ammunition ballistics, measured distance and angle to the target out to 800 meters.
“The precision of the 6x40mm ICS greatly increases accuracy and first round hit probability for improved battlefield effectiveness for infantry soldiers and tactical operators using small caliber weapons,” says Tom Frane, VP of Sales, Marketing and Business Development. “Just feed the ICS your cartridge’s ballistic info and the scope’s computer and inclinometer instantly calculate perfect hold-over at your exact distance and gives you a bright red dot in seconds – all at the push of a button.”
Despite its sophisticated technology, the ICS is a ruggedized, simple to operate combat optic that requires minimal training. While the magnification is optimized for the 7.62X51mm Battle Rifle, the ICS’s internal ballistic calculator is easily configurable for specific 5.56mm, 300 Blackout and .300 WinMag cartridges.
The 6x40mm ICS is fully adjustable for windage and 120 MOA of elevation, and the illuminated reticle adjusts from dim to bright for daylight conditions. A Picatinny base on top of the ICS allows for the addition of a CQB sight, and a back-up iron sight on the right side provides an auxiliary sighting option.
The sight is powered by one CR123A battery and the Class I Eye Safe laser and is waterproof up to 1 ATM – 10 m.

Hmmm I am curious as to what the designers actually envisioned that these optics would be used for. A big advantage of this optic, its relatively diminutive size is instantly negated by the necessity of having plop another red dot on top of it. Obviously the missing ingredient in this optic is the ability to switch to a true 1x and still utilize the red dot. A 1:6 true daylight red dot with built in 6 power ballistic range finder in this foot print at a reasonable price point of say $1800 MSRP with Steiner’s ruggedness and reliability would instantly… Read more »
