- 1-8x30 mm Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO) with a glass-etched reticle on lenses made entirely in the United States.
- The fire control weighs less than many traditional LPVOs with current weapon-mounted laser rangefinders and mounts.
- Integrated Picatinny base houses the Vortex Active Reticle system
- Injects a digitally displayed image into the first focal plane of the optic
- Allows for intuitive displays to support ballistic drops, reticle shapes and sizes, and additional modes to display way points, identified threats and fields of fire
- Enables the unit to range a target, send the information to an on-board ballistic solver, gather atmospheric information, and display an illuminated Active Reticle with the corrected aimpoint with wind holds in the sight picture. The solution takes tenths of a second
- XM157 can be controlled via an on-board keypad or a detachable remote.
