Swampfox Blade Prism Sight 1X25 Red Ir Brc
The Swampfox Blade Prism Sight 1X25 with red IR BRC reticle is a fixed-power prism optic built for shooters who need fast target acquisition and reliable performance in close-quarters scenarios. Unlike traditional red dot sights, the prism design and etched reticle make this sight exceptionally clear for shooters with astigmatism—a common complaint with conventional dots. The 1x magnification keeps both eyes naturally open, preserving your field of view while delivering precision at defensive distances.
The heart of this sight is the Bullet Rise Compensating (BRC) reticle, engineered to account for optic height over bore on AR-15 platforms. At 5, 10, and 15 yards—the distances where most defensive encounters happen—the BRC reticle placement helps you land shots without holdover guessing. The red illumination pairs with Shake N' Wake auto-on technology, so the sight activates when you move it, conserving battery life while keeping the reticle ready when you need it. With 12 brightness settings, you can dial in the illumination for indoor home defense or outdoor range work.
Built for serious use, the Blade features night vision compatibility, meaning you can deploy it behind NV if your mission requires it. The CR-123A battery delivers an impressive 3,000-hour runtime, and the 1/2 MOA click adjustments give you the precision to dial in your zero. At 13.1 ounces, it's light enough for all-day carry on a carbine or rifle setup. The etched reticle displays black when illumination is off, so you retain a usable sight even if the battery dies.
This is the kind of optic law enforcement, home defenders, and close-range shooters reach for when they want speed, reliability, and a sight picture uncompromised by astigmatism.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Swampfox Blade good for shooters with astigmatism?
Yes. The prism design and etched reticle deliver a much sharper sight picture than traditional red dot sights for people with astigmatism. If conventional dots appear blurry or as a starburst to you, the Blade's optical design is specifically engineered to address that issue.
Will the Blade work with night vision devices?
Yes, the sight is night vision compatible, so you can use it behind NV equipment for low-light tactical work.
How does the Bullet Rise Compensating reticle work on an AR-15?
The BRC reticle is positioned to account for the height of the optic mount over the rifle's bore on AR-15 platforms. At 5, 10, and 15 yards, the reticle placement helps you achieve accurate hits without holdover calculations at those defensive distances.
What happens to the reticle if the battery dies?
The reticle is etched into the glass, so it remains visible as a black pattern when the illumination is off. You'll still have a usable sight even if the battery is depleted.
