Comp M2 4moa is probably the worst bloomer.

Copy gents. Thanks. Just figured I'd ask as this stuff seems to vary significantly from individual to individual.
FWIW, JHC, I have an RMR that behaves very similarly to the micro with my eyes. That is to say, it's "workable" but I definitely get some bloom and distortion.

Although I've had poor result with two T-1s, I suspect results per individual vision compatibility may vary somewhat from one copy of a sight to another.Originally Posted by taadski

How one deals with vision issues relative to shooting is extremely personal. I've been using Compact ACOGs for quite some time, and endured some derision for same, as my way of addressing the issue. I've used the 1.5x and the 3x with great personal results. The primary downside to that solution is cost.
I've seen some 3-gunners using the Primsatic, and had been intending for awhile to give one a try. This thread has reminded me of that. Thanks.
The Prismatic is more popular in 3 gun because it's a whole lot easier to see shot-up steel in shadows with clear glass than through an Aimpoint or EoTech. Now that most rulesets are allowing 1x optics in "irons" divisions, 1x prism scopes will likely become more popular. Burris and Vortex both released new optics this year to compete with the Prismatic.
Vortex in question?

Yes, I haven't even handled one in person yet, but my understanding is the it is almost identical to the Prismatic, down to a nearly identical reticle, but it has a slightly smaller FoV and much brighter illumination. There is more discussion on it here: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/inde...owtopic=190955
That Vortex has a "Hecho en China" vibe to it.

Agreed. What surprised me is that it's lighter and shorter than the Leupold. narrower FOV though. Not sure if these weights really include all mounting etc.

IIRC, using the irons through the Prismatic is a non-starter - the optic would has to be removed to see the front sight clearly. If that is indeed the case (I think it is), I'd opt for a QD mount like the Larue.
