Leupold Prismatic 1x24

Anyone had/have one? Tell me what you think of it.

I'm intrigued by the concept; functionally just a more compact CQ/T (which I do like), with no magnification... But not intrigued enough to spend Aimpoint/Eotech money on it without a good reason.

What say ye?

Bump?

Most of the top "Tac-Irons" shooters in big 3-gun swear by them.  They do lend themselves to long range stuff with their small, precise reticle.  The etched reticle that's visible even when the power isn't on is a plus too.

 

That being said, I tried one and didn't really like it.  My Eotech has a reticle that I find "faster" for shooting out to 100-150 yards, and is much more forgiving about head/eye position than the Leupold.  The Pris has a bit of "eye relief"... which leads me to believe it might not but true 1X.  To me it's a lot like using a scope set at 1X, which except for the really high end scopes is really more like 1.1X, and fast, but not quite as fast as a dot sight like the Eotech or Aimpoint
