THE FINEST FULL 5X
Our previous prisms have offered incredible glass clarity and the Saber is no different. Swampfox took the 10-degree field of view technology from our successful 3x Trihawk prism scaling it up to 5x magnification. These two features paired with an ambidextrous 90-degree sidecar RMSc mount creates a unique shooting experience for anyone behind the optic.
THE SABERS CUTTING EDGE
One problem with most prisms on the market is they do not offer short range options forcing the shooter to a standalone offset red dot or canted iron sights. This is not an issue for the Saber and its ambidextrous sidecar mount. Having a micro red dot mounted directly to the side allows for shooters to transition from 5X to 1X in a heartbeat. The 90-degree mount offers a fluent transition from dominant shoulder to non-dominant shoulder allowing for increased accuracy and efficiency in a CQB situation.
BUILT LIKE A TANK
We didn't feel like going home so we went big but with a purpose. The Saber is a full size, fully featured prism optic packed with features to give the shooter every edge. With a housing that is less than 6 inches long and weighs the same as our Tomahawk or Arrowhead LPVO mounted in our Freedom Mount.
THE STRIKE MOA RETICLE
The Saber’s chemically etched reticle and fast focus adjustable ocular presents a clean, crisp, and fast sight picture for nearly any shooter’s eyes. The Saber’s reticle cannot “wash out” like red dots or holographic optics can, and in the event of a battery failure, the reticle is still usable. Saber’s Strike MOA reticle offers a thick illuminated ring drawing your eye to the center for faster shots on target, and a fine center cross for precision shots. It's a fast, instinctive reticle that is easy for any level of shooter to use. It also features 42 MOA of vertical holdover, extending the effective range for shooters using 300BLK, 7.62x39, or similar rounds with significant bullet drop.
CLARITY
The Saber’s built in 1913 MIL STD Picatinny mount gives the optic a level of structural integrity that you will not get from an LPVO. The durability of the Saber paired with its 36mm objective lens, 37mm ocular lens and all the internal lenses benefits from our anti-scratch, anti-fog, and hydrophobic lens coatings makes for a well-rounded, clear, and precise shooting experience.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
Saber shares the same advanced illumination technology featured in our Blade and Trihawk optics. Designed with 10 illumination settings powered by a single CR123a battery illuminating our etched reticle. Motion activated Shake N’ Wake auto on/off returns giving the user and unparalleled level of grab and go.
BUILT TO LAST
The Saber 5x is a fixed magnification prism optic, meaning it has no moving parts. Compared to an LPVO with many moving parts, the Saber is stronger and more durable, with almost no moving parts. Paired with the robust mounting system and internal construction, Saber presents a truly tough optic.

THE STRIKE MOA RETICLE
THE SABER STRIKES QUICKLY
Saber’s ten degree field of view demands a bold center ring and three guide stadia to draw your eye to the center. Dead center of that ring lies a 4 MOA x 4 MOA center aiming cross– big enough for your eyes to find it immediately, fine enough to make precision hits.
Illumination is available in red or green. Strike MOA offers 42 MOA of vertical hold– that’s overkill for 5.56 and 7.62 NATO, but great for shooters using calibers like 300BLK or 7.62x39. Hits to 500 or 600 yards with any of these common calibers are achievable thanks to the combination of Saber and the Strike MOA reticle.
DO THE MATH
Saber’s Strike MOA reticle is not caliber specific. When paired with a quality ballistic calculator, it is possible to calculate custom holdovers with your exact rifle and caliber. Swampfox reticles are included in the StrelokPro app– it’s our personal favorite.
The MOA ladder can also be used to estimate the range of targets of a known size while looking through your Saber. After all, bullet drop compensation isn’t that useful if you don’t know how far away the target is.

A very well made prism with clear glass. Easy access to change batteries. It’s a little on the heavy side. The 90 degree mount feels weird if you are used to a 35 or 45 degree offset. But that might be because the gun I mounted it on. A few things I would like for it a honeycomb hider and the same rubber flip up covers that the trihawk has. As the cover that comes with it takes time to put on and take off even longer time if you have a red dot mounted to the side.

Perfect extremely clear glass great FOV put it on a 458 socom

Field of veiw is incredible,. You can see multiple targets and your hits at the same time.
Nathan Miller
I absolutely love this thing, I've used trijicon 4x32 and others for longer than I care to state and it's a great product, but I would rather spend the extra $$ on more gear. The glass is super clear and bright and switching 20 degrees to view the green-dot sight is perfectly positioned. Will build more rifles just to put this thing on it!

Well, as the title says... this is my second optic from Swampfox and I don't intend on stopping. I was a Vortex + EOTech fan until I found Swampfox. Why is this important? Well... EOTech had a very fuzzy reticle for me. It isn't the same for all but because I wear glasses... It was a problem for me. As for Vortex... I love their VIP warranty but you have to pay an arm and a leg for an excellent scope. Then comes Swampfox. I've never been disappointed with the clarity, options, or price. They've hit the mark with the Saber on my Daniel Defense MK12 and the Arrowhead on my Springfield M1A Tanker. The clarity is superb and friends have always complemented the scopes when in use. A few of them have already made purchases so I feel good about them testing and making sure it is what they want. I've never had a problem with the Saber holding zero and the fact that I also have the option for CQ is a plus. I'm making the switch... and once you buy one of their optics... I'm sure you'll feel the same.

Great optics very pleased

So, time will tell on durability, only because the optic is mounted on a scar17... They are known for having an apatite for optics. That said, I'm very impressed so far. The glass is clear. Super clear. The reticle is crisp and easy to read, even when illuminated (unlike the EOTech Vudu lpvo which is replacing). For a chonky optic, it's quite light. So far my only 2 complaints are eye relief, I'd like it to be a tad longer. Also, it would be nice to have a couple of different mounting height options in the box. I'd gladly pay an extra 20 or 30 bucks to get a few different height mounts in the box. Otherwise, I'd trust my life to this optic.
