Prismatic Options (ACOG, etc)

[rman]

So awhile back I sold off all my red dots. Nothing fancy, just some Vortexs (vortices?) and a couple TRS-25s. I have an astigmatism and instead of a dot, I see a triangle... Would prefer not to rely on eyeglasses in order to shoot accurately.

Anyhow, the prism style optics work fine for me. The main issue is, what all is available, especially in smaller sizes?
More specifically, is there anything out there like the old Bushnell TRS-25... Cheap, durable, and not a complete piece of crap?

I can't really outfit my guns with a bunch of ACOGs. I did see some cool Primary Arms scopes... but also intested in some 0 magnification

Subscribing so I don't miss the learn'n. I don't have experience with them, but I've pretty much decided there should be a PA 5x prism in my .308 BLR's future IF the boys at PA can help me engineer a bolt on mount. My BLR is Belgian born from 1970 so I'm not willing to smith it - even for the upgrade. It's scoped but I'm looking to hunt with that ACCS reticle.

Steiner M332, might be worth a look here:


For 1X ya might want to view the Vortex Spitfire:

or the Burris AR1X:

how in God's holy name did I not ever look into the spitfire. I had the Sparc and the Strikefire and just assumed they only made holographic red dots.


Thanks man! The Spitfire is right up my alley. The Steiner would top my M6IC off nicely.

I have the Vortex Spitfire AR in a 1x. It has a diopter to adjust to your eye sight. One problem with mine is the battery goes dead just from sitting in the safe so I never get anywhere close to the advertised battery life.

If memory serves correct, Primary Arms is also going to have a 1X Prismatic available.

I’ve got the astigmatism thing going as well and have been looking at a prismatic.

Stinks about the battery life of the Vortex. Have you contacted them to see what their stance was?

The Sig CP1 is a 3x prismatic that works really well for the price. I think Sig might have discontinued it, but the factory in china that was making them for Sig still is. You can find the clones floating around...

According to Vortex, my issue is not normal and they are sending me the warranty paperwork for a new one.
