![]() ![]() It’s the combination of both a red dot sight and a magnifier in one. The 3x Micro Prism was definitely at the top of my list of optics to acquire and I’m glad I finally got my hands on it.įor what it is, it is fantastic. With the magnification you have to focus more on the optic and making sure your eye relief is correct which in turn causes you to lose some of your peripheral vision. The sight picture on the Primary Arms 3x Micro Prism is much different than that on the 1x. The sight picture and eye relief are two things that really go hand-in-hand and I’ll address them both here. The sight picture is probably what you’re most interested in and that’s completely understandable. Primary Arms 3x Micro Prism Sight Picture If you don’t mount this closer to your face, your eye relief will be terrible, and you won’t have a good experience with the 3x Micro Prism. The magnification changes the game entirely on the Prism optics. ![]() So, in this case, you want the entire optic to be mounted like the Sig Juliet 3 Magnifier and less like the Sig MSR optic. ![]() So I needed to mount it more like a magnifier and less like an optic. One thing I forget to consider is the magnification on this optic. Well… pro-tip, before changing the mount, you should mount it to your gun and check your eye relief. I was so used to the 1x Micro Prism that I thought, I’m going to change this ridiculous mount. One of the first things I started was changing the mount that the 3x Prism came on. ![]() The nice thing about prism scopes is with the etched reticle, even if your battery dies, you can still use the optic because you don’t lose your reticle entirely. A single CR2032 3V Lithium Coin will power this optic for some time. The power source is about what you’d expect from a red dot sight. You might be worried about having exposed turrets, but I can assure you that they are recessed enough not to be easily bumped or changed on accident. The 1 MOA click value will get you on target quickly and easily the top turret continues your elevation and the right turret controls your windage. The top exposed turret caps sit flush with the optic and allow you to make adjustments quickly and easily. To adjust the dot, you simply need a coin or even a spend rifle case will work. While the Raptor isn’t a classic reticle just yet, a modern take on the classic chevron that the Trijicon ACOG uses is a really nice take. The ACSS Raptor Reticle is one of my favorites I like the chevron and the mil-dot setup of the reticle. Most magnifiers are going to add a lot more than 3 ounces to your overall rifle/optic weight setup. The weight of the optic comes in right at 8 ounces which is almost 3 ounces heavier than the 1x version of this optic.īut when you compare it to adding a whole other piece of equipment to get this level of magnification, it’s a highly reasonable increase in weight. Most of the metal pieces come individually wrapped in plastic and once you get them out, you can rock and roll!īut what you are really here for is the prism, aka the red dot sight. Time to dive into the box and get to the good stuff! Here is the short list of the contents: When I got everything unwrapped, I had the same thought I usually do when it comes to PA and that’s “they have done it again”! I honestly never get tired of the next thing Primary Arms releases. Like any Primary Arms optics, the packing is A+ and each item is individually wrapped in plastic and hand-checked by someone on their US team in Texas. While that doesn’t jump out for most people and have them reaching for their wallets, I’m still interested to see how it compares to the 1x and if it’s a solid optic improvement for mid-range rifles over the 1x Prism. There’s really only one thing that’s new in this optic and that is the magnification to 3x. ![]()
