I just bought a 1-10x that hadn't arrives yet. These are supposed to be fantastic.

Is yours the red or green reticle?

Red. Have a 1-10 green as well. Both are fantastic though the 1-8 has a better eyebox at max power.

I bought a 1-10 green MOA because the green BDC was sold out in 1-10. It will go on a 5.56 billet build.

I sold the scope off my 300 Blackout suppressed pistol this week and havent decided if I am going back to a red dot or another scope. If I decide to mount another scope and like the Arrowhead, I might consider yours

I have the Arrowhead (red) 1-10 on a 7.5" 223.
Where it needs to be, is on a 11.5 - 12.5" gun at minimum.
The brand are pretty decent for the price, for sure.

Someone will see your listing, and snap it up.

Ended up putting the 1x swampfox blade on my 12.5. Great optic and alternative to a red dot, but keep going back and forth on whether I should put a LPVO on instead.

Well, you already have the "bulk" on top.
I completely understand your predicament!!

In the same place. I installed a solid 1-6x but it made the setup really heavy and the eye box was unforgiving. I used to have a Sig Romeo on it and it was a fantastic setup for weight and accuracy. For HD I am thinking that the red dot/prism would be preferred.

How do you like the prism / blade?

I really like it. It's my favorite 1x optic. I have astigmatism so red dots are not preferable. Great eyebox and clarity, wide field of view, and good reticle. A little heavy but for what you get in features and durability I think it's worth the trade off. Probably keep it for my home defense setup.

No worries. I've owned/own 4 arrowhead scopes (all the magnifications), 2 tomahawks, a kentucky long, blade, and just got a 5-25 34mm warhawk. Though primary arms will always have a leg up for reticles, everything else in this brand seems to be significantly better, especially for the price. Someone will really enjoy this 1-8, I'd keep it but I don't have a rifle to put it on and am trying to save up for a Tikka in 6.5 creedmoore to put the warhawk on.
