Overview

The Swampfox Trihawk 3x30 trades the ultra-compact footprint of the MicroPrism class for a larger 30mm objective and a notably wider field of view. The chemically etched reticle does not wash out the way a red dot does, which is exactly why astigmatic shooters reach for a prism in the first place. The reticle is available in 5.56 NATO/.308 Win BDC and MOA ladder variants, in red or green.

The Trihawk advertises a true 10-degree field of view, roughly 52 feet at 100 yards, which is wide for a 3x prism and helps with both-eyes-open shooting and fast target transitions. Swampfox also claims about 33 percent more eye relief than traditional military-issue prism scopes, a meaningful comfort improvement on a class of optic known for tight eye boxes. The 30mm objective gathers more light than the smaller prisms in the MicroPrism and Spitfire class.

Illumination runs on a Shake N Wake system with two daylight-bright settings and two night-vision-compatible settings, shutting off after 225 seconds of inactivity to preserve battery. The Trihawk is the pick for a shooter who wants the astigmatism fix of a prism with a bigger window and more forgiving eye relief, typically at a lower street price than the Vortex Spitfire.
