Prism Scopes

Prism scopes use a glass-etched reticle and a compact prism design — giving you fixed magnification, a crisp aiming point that works even with the illumination off, and a setup that's far friendlier to shooters with astigmatism than a traditional red dot. At Xtreme Tactical we stock prism scopes ready for fast UK dispatch.

Compare with LPVO rifle scopes for variable magnification, or red dot sights for 1x speed. Most of our prisms come from Primary Arms with the acclaimed ACSS reticle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a prism over a red dot?
The reticle is etched into the glass, so it stays sharp even without illumination — ideal for astigmatism, which can make a red dot appear as a smear.

What magnifications do prisms come in?
Commonly fixed 1x, 3x and 5x. A 3x prism is a great middle ground for general-purpose rifles.
