Review of Frenzy F3 26x32 MRT Red Dot Sight (SCRD-M79) by Jani Nordman

This is a review of Frenzy F3 26x32 MRT Red Dot Sight (SCRD-M79) from Jani Nordman.

This is the same body from the previous SCRD-79 now with multi option for the reticle, this review will be mainly the same as the 6 MOA version, I'll just highlight here the differences, and you can also see the different reticles from the pictures!

There are 4 options with the reticle, 2 MOA, 6 MOA (small donut), circle dot with 2 MOA center dot, circle dot with 6 MOA center dot. This should now satisfy 98% of shooters, pistol shooters who like the 2 MOA, pistol shooters who like the 6 MOA dot, and PCC shooters who need the circle dot.

Build quality is the same as the non-multi reticle; all external dimensions and features are the same, just the reticle options are different.

For the rest here I'll copy some of my review for the 6 MOA model:

Size

The window is massive; I mean this is bigger than most rifle optics; the window is 26x32mm. Why would you need such a big window? Well for OPEN division in sport shooting, where the guns are like race cars, tuned to the max, with compensators and all, this means the guns shoot real flat, this window size means you don't lose the red dot on the window, so your follow up shots are much faster, this will give you the hundreds of second advantage.

Those who compete professionally in shooting sports know that sometimes a stage is won by one hundredth of a second, ask me how I know... So the footprint is C-more (GIN as VE calls it), so you could mount this on any mount that takes this footprint, but please follow the link below to see the true size of the dot and measure the mount you're mounting it to make sure it fits. But of course, you get a weaver / picatinny mount so you can mount it on rifles and PCCs now that this has the 2MOA dot and the circle dot. I have it on a PCC now, and I'm very happy with it!

Features

This comes luckily with the features we expect red dots to have in 2026, made from 7075-T6 aluminum so it's a lot stronger than the previous generation made from 6061-T6, battery tray is on the side for a CR2032 battery, so you don't have to fiddle with any top mounted battery compartment or removing the sight to change the battery. You get IPX7 waterproof for zero worry shooting competitions in the rain. And one of my absolute must-haves on a red dot is, motion sensor auto-shutoff, so you don't have to worry about turning off and on the dot or having it drain the battery in the safe. A parallax test was conducted, and it had no discernible parallax shift on any corners of the window

Final words

If you're already a competition shooter who needs the biggest dot you can find, this is the one for you, or even just a casual shooter who needs the biggest window size, this is also for you! But be sure to look at the size, the weight, and everything before you make the purchase, so you don't get disappointed when it arrives and is too big for your setup.

This has now been used in purpose build open class pistols in IPSC competitions and so far the red dot has worked flawlessly, and the shooters who've used and seen it are happy with the window size, the smallness of the body of the red dot and the brightness of the new dot, shooters are multiyear users of the previous model so they have a good baseline to compare, and so far all updates from the previous model are welcomed ones.

The only thing that has made small annoyance amongst one of the two test persons is and this is very user specific, the buttons are close to each other so you might press the wrong button by accident, previous model had the buttons on either side of the optic, but this model can't have it that way as the battery compartment is on one side. Another nitpicky annoyance is that the back “back iron sight” bumps are not bringing anything to this model and are just useless feature, unless you're brave enough to direct mount this to a slide and use them as back iron sights, then yes but for open guns, they'll get machined off one day.
