I don't know if the coupons are generally available on the web. I've shopped at Optics Planet before so I get various email promotions. Not too long ago I got an email offering a 12% off coupon if I subscribed to their newsletter so that's what I did. I would try setting up an account to see what deals are available.

Let me just say that as nice as the Prismatic is, I would run a co-witnessed red dot on the handguard if I could, because receiver mounts for the vz 58 are such an expensive pain in the neck.

@smokemup

My intention is to mount it on a 45 deg. offset for close target acquisition and keep the 3X Trijicon ACOG (7.62x39 BDC reticle) as the primary optic for anything 75-100++ meters.  The ACOG being 3X makes it difficult for me to acquire targets through the sight, but easier to aim,  while the rod dots are hard for me to target at distances must past 100. 

It sucks to get old.  I might not be able to move fast, but at least my eyesight is poor.  :'(

Mind saying what mount you're using for 45 degree offset?

Just ordered these two mounts from Brownells to try on the FAB Defense front rail.  Whichever works I will operate on the Sa.58 and the other will go on a SIG556R (which also has an ACOG on it) in anticipation of adding another Burris Fastfire on that rifle.  I love the ACOG but for CQ finding targets is not so easy.

JP 45 Deg. offset
Daniels Defense 1:00 offset

I picked up a Vortex Spitfire 1x during the most recent Cabela's sale.  I'm very impressed with it so far.  The clarity and sharpness of the reticle is awesome.  The only thing that I'm disappointed by is that it's apparently not compatible with the ACOG mount due to its mounting screws being off by about .25,inches.  I'm toying with the idea maybe altering an RS Regulate ACOG mount, but would hate to potentially waste the $70-$80 dollars.

FOV being larger definitely applies to the spitfire too (probably larger than the trijicon MRO fov too, at 10-20% or so) -- but at 2.5x the length and weight...

Checked the rail and the two allen bolts had come loose! I had specifically asked if I should Blue loctite them down and was told no- not necessary. I can be fairly heavy handed with a wrench at times so I thought they were on good and tight. They are now blue loctited, lesson learned.

I'm so far happy with my Primary Arms 4X Compact 7.62 x 39 / .300 Blackout Prism Scope PAC4XAK300BO.
I use it with one of the Red Dot mounts, I think the low mount one. Love the reticle.

Saw those reviews. My Holosun has been fine. Then again, I'm not quite the klutz as that one reviewer. Holy cow! I mean, Holo cow!  O0

Just got one of those myself! It's perfect for the VZ.58!
