Leupold 1x14 Tactical Prismatic Rifle Scope?

[Tokarev]

I ran my Prismatic in a 2day CQB course this passed weekend. The optic gave me no problems and I had no issues with shooting targets from 50 yards all the way up to a couple feet. Sunday afternoon was spent in a couple shoot houses and the illumination worked fine when working indoors.

On the down side, the factory mount kind of stinks--as mentioned by Mr. Neal above. I noted a couple instances where the big thumb screw had loosened slightly under recoil.

I have since replaced the factory mount with an ADM mount. I haven't shot the rifle with the new mount in place but can only assume the new mount will correct any issues in this regard.

Nice AAR, thx! Btw, what size flipups are you using?

Those are the factory Leupold flip-ups.

Question on these...

there appears to be some with a ring around them, and some without? is that the difference between a powered and unpowered? Or something else?

[kelly neal]

No difference. The Gold Ring signifies the "civilian" version, no ring means the "Tactical" version. I prefer the dark earth of the civilian version myself but they are the same sight.

No, not that ring, the ring that takes the battery appears to be removable?

That's the Illumination Module. If you don't need reticle illumination you can leave it off and save a few ounces.

Is the mount attachment standard such that a QD mount like LaRue's for Aimpoint T1 would work? I see the ADM one above so I'm guessing yes, but wanted to confirm. Possible to cowitness BUIS with this?

ETA: shame about the short battery life and expensive battery type it uses.

LaRue makes a mount specifically for the Prismatic:

Here's what Kelly Neal stated in an earlier post about cowitnessing w/the Prismatic: "Cowitnessing is possible but diminished through the Prismatic when compared to Aimpoints and Eotechs."

Illumination is only needed in dim or dark light since the reticle is etched and visible in daylight.

The mount is attached to the optic by two Phillips screws. From what I have found, only ADM and Larue make QD mounts for the Prismatic.
