Nice informative video. I personally use prism optics rather than red dots due to my astigmatism. I have several nice red dot sights mounted to some of my guns and the problem I have with them is that the reticles have a star effect so it's difficult to know where the center of the reticle is. Since I've converted some of my rifles to prism sights I find the reticles to be sharp as they should be.
Yes, it's a practical alternative. A French friend of mine has the same problem and can't use a conventional scope. He has an AimPoint Micro on his Blaser R8 and has taught himself to shoot very accurately, at ranges not usually associated with red dot systems. I have a Leupold Prismatic, which is a x1 mini scope with conventional reticle and that is a practical, little piece of glass!
Heyyyy, buddy, friend, pizson...no need to exhaust yourself with this informative but not necessary walkthrough and comparison. I was sold when someone said, new rifle scope reticle. If you say so, that's good enough for me. Let's slap one on my Winchester 250 and see what the hypes all about. It seems like a nice fit for it. A humble but distinguished accessory for a working rifle. The 250 was born to be a tool. A dependable tool for either the ranch or the trail. The 250's gotta job to do. The other lever actions are just for showing off with that fancy shoot'en.
May I request some advice? I am used to telescopic sights but have no experience of prism sights. My wife has quite a strong astigmatism and has problems with the usual sighting systems. I was considering the Hawke x6 prism scope for her CZ457 LRP .22LR. The reticle markings designed for 5.56 shouldn't be a problem, but what fitting the prism scope to that rifle? It has a standard picatinny base.
I'm not sure if a prismatic would make any difference, given the severity of your wife's astigmatism, but I'd guess, a thick/heavy reticle, might help a bit. All I know is that a friend of mine cannot get on with standard, telescopic sights and instead uses a red dot sight, which he says works for him. The base connection on the Hawke 6x36 model is for a Picatinny rail and it comes with standard and high mounts.
Thought this was a scope test? Not a description.. Where did the test part go? firing it on the range to check accuracy, bdc efficacy, clarity, recoil resistance usw usw..?
How do you feel about the 1"/ 1MOA adjustments? Seems like an odd choice for a 6x optic - refining the zero to keep POA / POI aligned beyond 100-200 yards must be a nightmare. A weapon shooting 1moa groups would struggle to keep rounds in a 6-8" circle at 300yds with such a corse zero - a single click would send your shot group from one edge to the other. A real waste of that much magnification. All of the other specifications on this optic are highly competitive or even best in class for 5x/6x prism sight... it's a shame Hawke seems to have wet the bed so badly with the adjustments.
Hi I see your point, and yes would prefer it to have had 0.5 or 0.25MOA clicks, but I guess the idea is for full-sized, Fig 11-type targets. Chances are with a 16" barrelled AR15, which is what they quote for ballistically, then you wouldn't push it out too far. For me, I'd set it at 0.13" high at 50 yards, which means you could produce a reasonably tight group, given click values at that distance would be halved to 0.5MOA, at 100 it would be 1.21" high and bang on at 200. So just a matter of aiming straight, but that's not just down to the scope, as it all depends how the rifle shoots.Thanks for the input.

Hey Mate, well that's a new perspective, but thanks for the comments, good luck with the scope.

That adjustment value is superior to the 50mm @100m adjustment values of the 1.5x sight on the Steyr AUG😁. They were a real pain at AWQ time.
Agreed...@@michaelguerin56
