More from this brandAll Vector Optics rifle scopesOverview
A prism assembly inside an ultra-mini aluminum housing gives this Vector Optics sight its bright aiming point. A Picatinny mount attaches it to the rail on an AR style rifle, and a circle dot reticle offers red and green colors.
Fast target acquisition at short range is the reason to consider this sight, and the small body leaves the rifle uncluttered. The limitation is that fixed power gives no zoom for distant targets. Details on illumination levels and mount hardware are also missing.
Who it's for
Tactical and hunting shooters working at short distance with both eyes open will get the most from a one-power prism sight. Long-range shooters, or buyers who need documented illumination settings, should look at a variable power scope.
Pros and cons
- Compact ultra-mini prism design
- Red and green reticle colors
- Picatinny mount fitment
- Generous eye relief listed
- Fixed power, no zoom
- Illumination settings and mount hardware not listed
- Circle dot reticle only
Performance notes
The prism folds the optical path, so the body stays short while the reticle appears sharp against the target. With a one-power view the sight behaves like an aiming dot rather than a zoom scope, which favors speed over distance. Eye relief and field of view govern how forgiving head position feels.
