Reviews & Ratings for Swampfox Raider Micro Prism 1x20mm Prismatic Sight — 48 reviews — Page 1

First I want to say the size and design is perfect. If you have a stigmatizim, this is perfect for ya.

So I replaced the Vortex 3x prism some colleagues and I were discussing Swampfox how they’ve seen the brand but never purchased, and well I decided to try it out. I’ve been to the range 3x since I received this and wow, it’s amazing! Love it, not to mention shipping came extremely fast. i may switch over to primarily Swampfox going forward.

FYI - The RAIDER and TRIHAWK both suffer from severe "internal bleed" and a noticeable forward light signature. Even with a KillFlash installed, the illumination washes out the field of view and creates a visible glow from the front of the optic. The unpowered etched reticle is fine, and the field of view and clarity are exceptional, but the illumination tech is poor for signature management.

This optic truest beat my expectations by a lot. The ability to adjust a diopter and get a near perfect image of the reticle and the target I assumed was impossible with my eyes. Astigmatism. But this sight made me a believer. With the T2 foot print, I would pick this for a revolver hunting optic all day. I do wish it was possible to build a prism with 3-5x and long eye relief for a scout rifle or handgun. I like this better than my EoTech for image quality

It’s been a good sight no problems. Only thing that bugged me were the lens caps. Don’t leave them attached to the sight or they will get in your way. Take them off and use them like a cover.

This is directly comparable to the excellent Primary Arms SLX Prisms with the added bonus that it uses an Aimpoint Micro T1/H1 footprint (same one used by Romeo5, Holosun 509t, etc) which is widely supported, versus the mini-acog footprint used by the SLX which has more limited options.

Weight is nice, glass is clear, reticle is clean and useful. It's a great little scope.

Shipping sucked but that is nothing new here. Optic is great, the prism is as advertised for someone with astigmatism, glass is super clear, and holds zero very well so far.

This prism is great this is my second one i like the red it shows up in the woods better than the green whitch blends in with the leavs and doesnt show up as good

It’s good hoping it was smaller it will work 4 what I’m mounting it on

I went with a prism because I have astigmatism and it's a game changer for me since the dot is now crisp. Another bonus with a prism is the etched reticle, so I have a reticle even if illumination is off or fails. Add the build quality, shake to wake, compact design, reasonable price, and this is my favorite optic.

I only found one con and it has nothing to do with the build of this optic - it's the fact that prisms have eye relief. I must have this optic closer to my eyes than a standard red dot. For me, there is no more mounting over the magwell. This can mean not having room for backup sights on some weapons. This is the case with my rifle and the popup sights I was using. There may be another type of rear sight I could use, but I am not too concerned with this particular weapon. However, this optic can co-witness with the Springfield Kuna popup sights when using the lowest included Swampfox mount.

I am so impressed with Swampfox that I will likely buy more of their optics for new builds, or to replace other optics.
