The word Paragon means, “a model of excellence”. And this is true of this optic series.
I see the Paragon as being the technological descendant of the old Bellorussian PK-AS sight, a one power prism sight that through innovative use of lenses, seems to have a nearly non existent edge when you look through it.
Thick opaque edges serve only to limit situational awareness. Competing brands and their prism sights are a miss due to large knobs… they are “good enough”. But the nearly invisible edge of the PK-AS and later on the Paragon discarded the idea that “good enough” was actually “good enough” in regards to situational awareness.
Unlike the PK-AS, the Paragon is designed to be small and light.
All Paragon models also boast the best eye relief when ranked against competing micro prism sights.

Vector Optics Paragon x1
The design of he Paragon x1 is as low profile as possible. No opaque protrusions to reduce situational awareness. Controls, windage and elevation adjustments are close to the body of the optic.
It is ideal for someone wanting a close quarters optic but not wanting to be at the mercy of batteries. In the cold Canadian climate there is some wisdom in avoiding something battery dependent in the outdoors.
The one power paragon has a circle dot reticle which, according to gestalt psychology, draws the eye quickly to the center. It is a reticle type which is faster to acquire than a dot or a crosshair.
The Paragon x1 comes with a low mount and a high mount to be optimized for a large
variety of firearm types, from the traditional Mossberg shotgun to the 180C.
Caliber Range (max): 12ga, 338.
Ideal For: Shotguns, PC9, SKS, FX9, Scorpion, Raven 9, Templar, wk180, ws-mcr, tavor

Vector Optics Paragon x3
The design of he Paragon x3 is as low profile as possible. No opaque protrusions to reduce situational awareness. Controls, windage and elevation adjustments are close to the body of the optic.
The 3 power prism sight is ideal as a battlesight for modern sporting rifles as the 3 power gives a flexibility at close, medium and occasionally longer ranges quite comfortably. 3 power, in my opinion, is the maximum magnification your brain can resolve with 2 eyes open style shooting.
3 power is ideal for people expecting to engage targets at 300 meters or closer.
The x3 Paragon is lightweight and small measuring 3" in length weighing only 225g.
The reticle has a drop compensator for 223 balistics.
Caliber Range (max): 12ga, 338.
Ideal For: FX9, Scorpion, Raven 9, Templar, wk180, ws-mcr, tavor, crypto
