To avoid further confusion about the various Short Dot models:
Disclaimer: I do not consider myself to be a Short Dot expert but I do understand this much though.
1.1–4 x 20 CQB Short Dot (Gen I)
This is the first generation of the Short Dot. It has non-locking turrets and comes standard with changeable BDC cams for 5.56mm M855 & 75 gr. Hornady and .308 M118LR 16” & 20”.
1.1–4 x 20 CQB Short Dot (Gen II)
This is the newer version of the original Short Dot. It has the self-locking adjustment turrets. It comes standard with your choice of a M855 or M1118LR BDC cam.
- Both are first focal plane with 20mm objective lenses.
- The easiest way to tell the difference between the two models is to look for the taller/longer adjustment knobs found on the genII.
Both can be ordered with either the CQB or #7 reticles .

The new Short Dot II is actually called the “S&B 1.1-4x24 Zenith Short Dot LE” in the U.S.
- I could not find an actual picture of it.
It differs from the original Short Dot’s in many ways:
- 2nd Focal Plane
- 24mm objective lense
- Spare battery cap replaces the locking windage turret.
- It's slightly over a 1/2" longer because it’s based on the 1.1-4x S&B Zenith line
- Available in the #2, #7, and #9 reticles.
- Supposedly $100 cheaper.
