Primary Arms GLx 2x prism

[Timfoilhat]

I tried to make a Holosun magnifier work for my new poodle shooter. My astigmatism is far worse than I remembered it being. I tried a few different dots with it and none worked well enough as I see a slash, question mark, or muddy star burst depending on which red dot I try.
So I bought my first prism. 2x seems to allow both close in and 300 yard shots to be reliably hit. The brightness is plenty bright. And the aiming point is sharp so I can actually see. The diopter is a great feature since I can shoot with or without my glasses.
I'm also saving weight. The GLx is 11 ounces. The Holosun magnifier is 10 oz and the dots all run about 5 oz. I also pulled off my Troy BUIS. That's another 3 oz I don't need since the prism doesn't need batteries to be effective under daylight or white light.
Eye box is huge. Eye relief is generous. Field of view is outstanding.

My only complaint is the price. Mine was 12%off on sale a week ago, but still like $345. Now I want this thing on a few other rifles so I can dump the dots.

Man...you make a good case. I've also got an astigmatism and run a PRO on a few rifles. The idea of having to buy other mounts has made me keep away from trying one, but I just saw the original Gen 1 Cyclops ACSS is in stock and that uses a T1 mount; I happen to have a couple nice T1 mounts lying around too.

I've gone through a similar journey that landed me squarely on an acog for my primary rifle. I top mounted a holosun 507 which is good enough for close in shooting but the acog really shines for 50-400 yards.

It also weights quite a bit less than my EOTech and magnifier on a different rifle, and less than any lpvo I'm aware of.

I've actually been debating letting the Eotech and magnifier go to try out one of these 2x or maybe their new micro 3x...

My eyes are all sorts of wonky and I finally got round to trying my 1x PA prism sight. I was impressed, much cleaner than red dots usually are for me.

I just wish the reticle was a bit larger.

I have a couple of the PA prisms. Definitely a great value. I have a 1x now on my AK, that’ll get upgraded to the 3x shortly.
