The Burris AR-1X Prism Sight (Burris part no. 300214) is a compact 1x optic made for both-eyes-open shooting on a rail. A push button lets you choose between green, red or black reticle settings, and the black reticle is etched onto the prism so the sight still works without battery power. Easy-to-see hash marks offer trajectory compensation out to 600 yards. Its low-profile design leaves room on the rail for a flip-out AR-Tripler magnifier.
