Sightmark launched its first family of prismatic riflescopes: the Strikon FMP (Fixed Magnification Prismatic) and the Strikon VMP (Variable Magnification Prismatic). Developed for modern sporting rifles, home-defense carbines, hunting shotguns and competitive shooting, the Strikon family represents Sightmark’s entry into a growing optic category with the company’s hallmark commitment to rugged, accessible performance.
Prismatic riflescopes use a glass-prism system rather than the traditional erector-tube configuration in most scopes. This results in a shorter, more compact optical package that delivers greater edge-to-edge clarity, reduced distortion and a brighter picture without added bulk. The Strikon FMP and VMP bring that technology to shooters at a price point and accessibility level consistent with Sightmark’s broader product philosophy.
Sightmark Strikon FMP 1×18 Prismatic Sight
The Strikon FMP 1×18 is a true 1X prismatic sight built for fast-paced shooting where clarity, speed and durability are non-negotiable. It uses an internal glass prism and an etched RTR-1 Rapid Targeting Reticle for a crisp, parallax-free sight picture that works even when the battery goes dead. The RTR-1 reticle illuminates in red or green across 12 brightness settings, including three levels optimized for night vision use, powered by a single CR2032 battery with a runtime ranging from 100 hours on high to 10,000 hours on low. Shake-awake technology deactivates the unit after 10 minutes of inactivity and brings it back online when movement is detected, while automatic brightness adjustment continuously optimizes illumination based on ambient light conditions.
Built on the Aimpoint Micro footprint with a .39-inch riser for a 1.54-inch height, the FMP ships with multiple screw sets for height customization and features flush adjustment turrets that eliminate snag points for a clean, duty-ready profile. At 6.87 ounces with mount, it keeps rifle weight balance in check while still providing rigidity. The housing is 6061 aluminum, IP67 waterproof, nitrogen-filled, and shock-tested to MIL-STD-810H, with fully multi-coated lenses achieving 85-percent light transmission.

Sightmark Strikon VMP 1-4×22 SFP Fiber Riflescope (Prismatic)
The Strikon VMP 1-4×22 SFP Fiber Riflescope gives shooters a true non-magnified sight picture for close-range work alongside 4X magnification for better target identification and more precise shots at distance. As a variable-magnification prismatic scope, the VMP covers the full range of engagements most shooters face with a single optic, requiring no swap and no compromise.
The VMP uses a second-focal-plane CRF-4 MIL fiber-wire reticle with red illumination across 11 brightness settings, including 9 daylight levels and 2 compatible with night-vision devices. Shake-awake technology deactivates the optic after 10 minutes of inactivity and reactivates it at the first detection of movement, preserving battery life without sacrificing readiness. A CR2032 battery powers the illumination system.
Mounting flexibility is built in through the Aimpoint Micro footprint, giving users access to a broad ecosystem of compatible mounts, offset red dot options, and height configurations. The included hardware supports four mounting heights—1.15-, 1.54-, 1.93- and 2.32 inches—accommodating a wide range of shooters and scenarios. Click adjustments are .1 mil with 23 mil of windage and elevation travel for precise zeroing.
