Fantastic red dot alternative - Primary Arms The SLx 1x MicroPrism Red Dot Sight

The eye relief is nuts. I've got mine mounted far enough forward for a magnifier and BUIS, and while there is a touch of shadow around the edges it's nothing eye-catching, let alone stopping me from seeing clearly through it.

It's a bit tricky getting the diopter dialed in to work with a magnifier but once it's set it's absolutely amazing flipping back-and-forth from 1x to 3x. I found the perfect setting at 1x by focusing on a truck roughly 200 yards away and then bringing the optic into view without looking away. The sweet spot was when I could raise the rifle and not see any distortion. Setting the magnifier was mostly just adjusting for a crisp image. I've read in some comments this scope may not work with a 6x magnifier but can neither confirm or deny that, it worked with my Juliet 3 with plenty of room for further diopter adjustment. Anyone saying they absolutely cannot get a crisp image may actually need glasses (like I do).

Did I mention it behaves like a red dot? It appears to project the reticle similar to how a red dot does. I can tilt my head around and the reticle appears to stay aligned with the muzzle (btw another neat thing is you can get the reticle almost towards the edges of the glass and still see through the thing). It has me curious whether the parallax is similarly negligible.

I only knocked one star because I agree with most about the 1 MOA adjustments. It makes sense when strictly using it at 1x but not once magnified. If they remade this with the ACSS Raptor reticle and 1/2 MOA adjustments with the expectation that it would be paired with a magnifier I would pounce in a heartbeat.

Highly recommend looking at the Midwest Industries mount as a QD option.
