Subcompact rifle scopes

This collection contains the smallest rifle scopes in our range: the Vector Optics Paragon prism scopes. A prism scope is much shorter than a classic scope with a zoom. It has a fixed magnification.

• Paragon 1x18: no magnification, for very fast aiming with both eyes open.
• Paragon 3x18: 3x magnification in an ultra compact body.
• Paragon 4x24: 4x magnification for close to medium distances.

The 1x and 4x models have an etched reticle that stays visible even without illumination. All three have an illuminated reticle.

For larger scopes, see Compact rifle scopes and Standard rifle scopes. For red dots for rifles, see Red dots for rifles.

Frequently asked questions

Prism scope or red dot?

A prism scope has an etched reticle that you see even when the battery is empty, and the 3x and 4x models magnify. A red dot is lighter and has no magnification.

How do I mount it?

On a Picatinny rail. The Paragon 3x18 has an integrated Picatinny mount, and a riser section comes in the box.
