Strikon Prism Sights for Fast, Compact Aiming
Sightmark Strikon prismatic sights use a glass prism to pack a bright image and a detailed reticle into a short, compact optic. Choose the true-1x Strikon FMP as a red dot alternative, or the Strikon VMP 1-4x22 for a compact variable optic with room to reach out.
Reticles Built for Real Aiming
The Strikon FMP's RTR-1 reticle is etched right into the glass, so it stays visible even with the illumination off or a dead battery, and lights up in red or green. The VMP's fiber-illuminated CRF-4 MIL reticle gives you holds for longer shots. Both include night vision settings.
Compact, Bright Prism Design
A prism folds the light path, which keeps Strikon sights short and light on the rifle while delivering a bright, clear image. Generous eye relief of almost 4 inches makes them easy to get behind quickly.
Built for Hard Use
Strikon sights are IP67 waterproof, nitrogen filled and shockproof, with Shake Awake so the illumination is on the moment you pick up the rifle and off when you set it down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a prismatic sight?
A prismatic sight uses a glass prism instead of a traditional tube of lenses to fold the light path. That makes the optic shorter and more compact, and it allows an etched reticle that stays visible even when the illumination is off or the battery is dead.
Prism sight vs. red dot: which should I choose?
A red dot projects an LED dot, so it's very fast and light but depends entirely on battery power. A prism sight like the Strikon FMP has an etched reticle that works without a battery, with illumination for low light and a more detailed aiming point for holds and ranging.
Are prism sights better for astigmatism?
Many shooters with astigmatism find that a red dot looks blurry or starburst-shaped. Because a prism sight uses an etched reticle that's focused through the optic, it's a popular alternative for those shooters. Results vary by eye, so try one if you can.
What's the difference between the Strikon FMP and Strikon VMP?
The Strikon FMP 1x18 is a true 1x prism sight with an etched RTR-1 reticle, built as a red dot alternative. The Strikon VMP 1-4x22 is a compact variable-power prismatic scope with a fiber-illuminated CRF-4 MIL reticle and 1/10 MIL adjustments, so you get 4x magnification for longer shots.
How do Strikon prism sights mount?
Both Strikon models use an Aimpoint Micro footprint mount with a 1.54-inch centerline height. The Strikon VMP Piggyback Mount lets you add a small reflex sight on top of the VMP.
