Athlon Midas Flare 5x Prism Sight Black OF403079 UPC 813869024892
Product Description
The Athlon Optics Midas Flare 5x Prism Sight (OF403079) is a compact, high-magnification optical sight engineered to provide long-range precision and rapid target engagement on modern sporting rifles and carbine platforms. Built with an etched-glass illuminated reticle, this 5x magnification prism optic solves reticle distortion, starbursting, and blurring issues commonly experienced by shooters with astigmatism when using traditional red dot optics. Even in the event of total battery depletion, the etched reticle remains clearly visible in solid black for uninterrupted aiming performance.
Constructed from a solid aircraft-grade aluminum housing and finished in a durable matte black anodization, the Midas Flare 5x is fully O-ring sealed and argon-purged to deliver fogproof, waterproof, and shockproof reliability under heavy recoil. Featuring advanced fully multi-coated HD lenses, the optical system maximizes light transmission, color rendering, and edge-to-edge image clarity in challenging ambient lighting conditions. Multi-stage reticle brightness settings allow shooters to tailor illumination intensity seamlessly from bright daylight down to low-light tactical environments.
Equipped with an integrated Picatinny mount base, the Midas Flare 5x mounts directly to MIL-STD-1913 receiver rails at an optimal height for flat-top carbines. Capped tactical windage and elevation turrets deliver crisp, precise click adjustments for confident long-range zeroing, making this compact 5x prism sight an outstanding primary optic for field, target, and tactical applications.
Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Mounts natively to standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny receiver rails on AR-15, AR-10, and modern sporting rifle platforms.
- Perform a complete firearm safety check: drop the magazine, lock the action to the rear, and visually verify the chamber is clear.
- Place the Midas Flare 5x prism sight onto the upper receiver Picatinny rail.
- Push the optic base forward toward the muzzle end to seat the recoil lugs firmly against the rail cross-slots.
- Torque the base mounting screws to 30-35 in-lbs to ensure repeatable zero retention.
- Adjust the ocular focus ring (fast-focus eyepiece) until the etched reticle appears sharp against a plain background.
- Establish proper eye relief (approximately 2.5–3.0 inches) and zero the optic at 100 yards using the precision windage and elevation turrets.
