1x Prism Scope Purchase

I have been eyeing a 1x prism scope for a few years now because I have an astigmatism and can't really use a red dot.
I was back and forth between a Primary Arms, Swampfox, Vortex. The primary arms is definitely the nicest, but also the most expensive. But I just pulled the trigger today and ordered one from Optics Planet.
1. Who in here uses a 1x prism and how do they like it?
2. How long will I have to wait to get my Optics Planet order lol?

I also have astigmatism, I threw a 1X reflex from Dagger defense on my 300BO build. Have had no issues.
Son also has astigmatism, just shot his first deer at about 60 yards with it a few weeks ago.

I have a primary arms 1x prism on a 300 blackout that I use for deer and pigs. It's my favorite setup for anything under ~125 yards. The reticle is very small but once I shot a couple of mags through it, I really started enjoying it.

I have a swampfox blade on my 300bo that sleeps next to the bed. It's zeroed at 50 and has the BRC reticle that has marks for 5, 15, and 25 yards. Perfect for its intended purpose.
It's a chunky boy so weight could be an issue if you're carrying it around a lot.

I have a primary arms 1x prism. I really REALLY dislike the chevron reticle for some reason. Everything else about it is good. Super crisp illumination, eye relief is fine, built quality and mounting options are good, and so on.
I just absolutely can not stand the chevron reticle. I’d rather a slightly starburst red dot over the super crisp chevron. It’s entirely personal preference, there is nothing objectively bad about it. PA makes tons of great optics, but that damn reticle kills them all for me.

I love the chevron reticle on my 3x prism. It may not make sense, but I shoot better with it than a normal one, at least 100 and in.

Yeah I really liked that reticle. I will report back once it comes in!
