Gideon Optics Advocate 1X Prism - The Best New Prism Optic

[@adamadams6740]

Cool stuff,I’d like to give this a try. Does this company offer a magnifier? If not one of the Monstrum forward ones would be nice for some added functionality at bit more distance.

[@RTTGunsGear]

No, they do not make a magnifier. Monstrum's magnifier is pretty good. I used to have one and gave it a good review for the price point. Thanks for watching!

Looks remarkably like the Swampfox Raider i just got. I bet it is made in the same factory. very very similar.

[@RTTGunsGear]

The guy who designed this worked for Swampfox. Thanks for watching.

Gideon always kills it!

Appreciate the review. Purchased the Omega and didn’t know about this optic. I have astigmatism and my Gideon optic in green has been a game changer.

[@RTTGunsGear]

Awesome!!!! And thanks for watching!!

Got three of their dots, all as good as those $350 dots. And battery life is better than those I have with”solar” panels on them

So RTT, having put some time behind the 1x prism now, what do you think on the prism vs. dot debate? Would you keep this on that 11.5 or now that your review is done, would you pull it for a traditional red dot instead? For everyone else: This isn't staged. I have no idea what he's going to answer here, and we make dot sights too so it doesn't hurt my cause either way.

[@RTTGunsGear]

That's a tough one. This is really clear, has the etched reticle that I really like, and super tough construction. However, I do have to have it nearly all the way back on the rail. But the ability to more easily use a red dot in various precarious positions without having to worry about eye relief or being off center and getting scope shadow. I'd probably choose a red dot. I wouldn't feel under-armed or prepared with either though. It's a really close race. If I had astigmatism, it would 100% be the prism.

Hello, If I put the Advocate on a unity micro riser or unity micro s riser, will it line up with my flip to center unity magnifier I have as well?

[@The_Critical_Critic]

4x would be nice....

[@trevorteague8430]

Totally off topic... but what is the brake you're running on that rifle? Looks like it shoots pretty damn flat.

[@RTTGunsGear]

The dual port brake suppressor muzzle device from Rearden.

[@trevorteague8430]
