Umarex UX NP 3 Nano Point 3 Dot Sight
The Umarex UX NP 3 Nano Point 3 Dot Sight is a compact and lightweight reflex optic designed to provide quick, intuitive target acquisition on compatible airguns, airsoft equipment and recreational shooting platforms. Its small footprint makes it a practical alternative to conventional open sights, particularly for close-range target shooting where a clear illuminated aiming point is useful.
Featuring selectable red and green illumination, a 6 MOA aiming dot and 1× magnification, the Nano Point 3 combines straightforward operation with a lightweight design. A Picatinny mounting base is included, allowing installation on suitable accessory rails, while the supplied CR2032 battery powers the illuminated reticle. Measuring just 48 mm long and weighing approximately 56 g, it adds minimal bulk to compatible equipment.

Always check mounting and recoil compatibility with your particular equipment before installation.
Red & Green Illuminated Dot
The Nano Point 3 allows the user to choose between red and green illumination, providing flexibility across different target backgrounds and lighting conditions.
The 6 MOA aiming dot is designed to be clearly visible during close-range target acquisition.
Red illumination provides a familiar aiming reference, while green may be easier for some users to distinguish against particular backgrounds.
The published specification lists one brightness level rather than multiple adjustable brightness settings.
Switch the illumination off after use to preserve battery life.
6 MOA Dot & 1× Magnification
The 6 MOA dot provides a visible aiming point intended for rapid target acquisition rather than very fine long-range precision.
MOA stands for Minute of Angle and describes the angular size of the reticle.
A 6 MOA dot covers approximately 6.3 inches at 100 yards, with proportionally smaller coverage at shorter distances.
The sight provides 1× magnification, meaning the target is viewed without optical enlargement.
This makes the Nano Point 3 suitable for close-range target shooting and both-eyes-open aiming.
Parallax is adjusted to 10 metres, although some parallax error may remain at other distances.
Picatinny Mounting & Compatibility
The Umarex UX NP 3 is supplied with a Picatinny mounting base for installation on compatible rails.
Before fitting, check that your equipment has a suitable mounting rail and enough clearance for the sight.
An 11 mm dovetail rail is not the same as a Picatinny rail and may require a separate conversion adapter.
The manufacturer lists recoil resistance up to .22 LR. This should not be treated as a guarantee of suitability for every platform, particularly spring-piston air rifles with unusual recoil characteristics.
Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and check the security of the mount before use.
Battery & Illumination Power
The Nano Point 3 is powered by one CR2032 lithium coin-cell battery, which is included with the sight.
The battery operates the red and green illuminated reticle.
Battery life depends on use, temperature and battery condition. A fixed runtime is not specified.
Switch off illumination when the sight is not in use.
When replacing the battery, follow the manufacturer's instructions and ensure the correct polarity.
Keep coin-cell batteries away from children and dispose of used batteries responsibly.
Windage, Elevation & Zeroing
The Nano Point 3 provides windage and elevation adjustments to align the illuminated dot with the equipment's point of impact.
After mounting the sight securely, begin zeroing at a suitable distance in a safe, authorised shooting environment.
Make small adjustments and confirm the point of impact before making further corrections.
Once zeroed, check that the mounting arrangement remains secure and that the aiming point remains consistent.
Avoid overtightening adjustment screws or modifying the sight beyond the manufacturer's instructions.
Care & Maintenance
- Remove loose dust using a suitable optics blower or soft brush.
- Clean the viewing lens with an appropriate microfibre optics cloth.
- Keep the battery compartment clean and dry.
- Inspect mounting screws periodically.
- Switch off illumination after use.
- Remove the battery before prolonged storage.
- Avoid abrasive materials, harsh solvents and unnecessary impacts.
Store the sight in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
