MISSION SPECIFIC

Blade is the mission-driven, wide angle 1x prism scope for home defense and law enforcement. It sports handy Auto-On Shake N’ Wake technology. Blade’s revolutionary Bullet Rise Compensating reticle compensates for optic height over bore at just 5, 10, and 15 yards when mounted on a rifle. Available with red or green illumination, Blade’s etched reticle appears black when illumination is off. Blade is an excellent choice for someone with astigmatism who have issues with dot sights. When you need speed and precision at in-your-face distances, trust the Blade.

Some Swampfox optics are intended to be flexible “do-it all” scopes. This isn’t one of them. Every aspect of Blade 1x is optimized for the patrol rifle application. Blade 1x has only one goal: help you master real-world close quarters shooting.

BULLET RISE COMPENSATION​

Gravity pushes bullets down. But at very close ranges your scope’s mechanical offset, or “height over bore” comes into play. If your optic is aimed straight at the target at “in the living room” distance, your barrel must be aimed at a significant upwards angle to make a precise hit matching point of aim. ​

Close quarters shooters have known for years that “you need to aim a little high up close”. Blade 1x is the first optic to account for this and offer holds for 5, 10, and 15 yards distance when used on a MSR or similar platform. ​​

LIGHTNING FAST​​

Unlike red dots, 1x prism scopes have constraints on eye relief and eye box– the amount of space behind the scope where your eye can acquire a valid sight picture. Blade 1x features an incredibly forgiving eye relief and tremendous 13.5mm exit pupil with legendary target acquisition speed.

After setting the fast focus diopter for your eye, shoot Blade 1x like you would shoot a red dot. Both eyes open, focus on the target, and GO! ​​

BUY ONCE, CRY NEVER​​

We intend for Blade 1x to be a one-purchase solution for MSR optic solution. Blade’s built-in mount means there is no way to purchase the wrong rings or the wrong riser. High-quality flip caps and our Honeycomb Anti-Reflection Device are already in the box. We thought of everything and included it all. ​ ​

A SERIOUS SCOPE FOR A SERIOUS JOB​​

Building an optic for the defense applications means our customers are potentially trusting us with their lives when they buy the Blade 1x. We take this responsibility extremely seriously. ​​ ​

Blade was designed to be as rugged as possible. It is manufactured with precision and care. Like all Swampfox products, it is backed up by our 50,000 Round Surety: if your Blade 1x ever stops performing as it should, we will repair or replace it. But we know the best surety of all is the one you never need. ​​ ​

A BUMP IN THE NIGHT​​​

PackedBlade 1x is available in red or green reticle illumination variants. The first two brightness settings, N1 and N2, are night vision compatible. Settings 9 and 10 are daylight bright. ​​

Blade features Shake 'N Wake motion-sensing illumination technology. After 225 seconds without motion, reticle illumination shuts off to preserve battery life, leaving the etched reticle to remain in black. When the optic is moved even slightly, illumination instantly resumes at the previous setting. ​​

Select your favorite brightness level and put your home defense gun away. If there’s a “bump in the night”, you don’t need to worry about adjusting your optic– as soon as you grab it, Shake 'N Wake reticle illumination will resume, ready for whatever comes.

A COMPLETE SOLUTION​​

Packed with premium glass, tough construction, and backed by our 50,000 Round Surety, Blade 1x comes with everything you need to get completely set up, from high-quality flip caps to the Honeycomb Anti-Reflective Device. There are no accessories to buy separately– it’s all included in the box from the start.

CLOSE QUARTERS OPTIC, LONG DISTANCE QUALITY GLASS​​​​

Blade 1x is optimized for close quarters shooting, but it features the same excellent glass found in our long-range precision optics. Containing rare earth metals, Blade’s glass is fully multi-coated for maximum light transmission, anti-reflection, anti-fog, anti-scratch, and hydrophobic performance.
