Prism Scopes

Western Sport stocks 55+ prism scopes at our Roanoke, TX shop, led by Trijicon’s ACOG line.

What we carry

Fixed 1x, 3x, 4x and 5x prism optics with etched reticles, fibre-optic and tritium-illuminated models that need no battery at all, BDC reticles calibrated for 5.56 and .300 Blackout, and compact prisms suited to short-barrelled rifles.

Why a prism instead of a dot

A prism scope’s reticle is etched into glass, so it is still there and still usable with the illumination switched off or the battery dead. That etched reticle is also the reason prisms are the standard recommendation for shooters with astigmatism — a red dot smears into a starburst for an astigmatic eye, while an etched reticle stays crisp. The trade is fixed magnification and shorter eye relief than a red dot’s unlimited eye box, so a prism rewards a consistent cheek weld.

If astigmatism is the reason you are here, come try one at the counter before you order.
