The Leupold® Prismatic™ 1x14mm Hunting optic gives you the fast target acquisition and accuracy of a red dot sight. Yet the Prismatic’s etched glass reticle is visible even without its removable Illumination Module or batteries. You get all the advantages of a red dot sight and more, without battery dependency.  Add the Illumination Module to illuminate the reticle in red.  Remove the Illumination Module and the etched glass reticle is still visible, so you’re never battery dependent. Nine brightness settings for changing light conditions, with an automated low-battery indicator.  The reticle is etched glass, making it visible at all times – even without batteries – unlike conventional red dot sights. It’s also extremely sharp and clear, unlike the fuzzy dot of red dot sights. Slotted, 1⁄2-MOA click windage and elevation adjustments are easy to change with the adjustment cover. The integrated base system includes different height mounting spacers to work on any type of weapons platform.   The Prismatic is also compatible with the A.R.M.S. #22-34mm Throw Lever Rings Base and Spacer System, and conventional 30mm rings.  The Index Matched Lens System® offers unparalleled levels of clarity, brightness, and contrast.   The true focusing eyepiece means the Prismatic can be adjusted and used by anyone. With the thickest maintube of any Leupold ever built, it’s our most rugged scope ever…it’s practically indestructible.   Absolute waterproof integrity. Matte pictured.
