RAMA
multi - 1x - ?? - commerical






The Rama was an early commerical battery powered red dot, essentially a battery powered Weaver Qwik-Point, sold in the early 1980s by Tasco and Colt. Colt examples were sold as an accesory to be purchased along side a SP1 rifle and came with a carry handle mount. Tasco examples came in a both a vertical and horizontal layout with different mounting options.

Today Colt marked examples command a high price while the Tasco examples are generally forgotten.
