The Apex Optics Vapor 1–4×22 is a next-generation variable prism sight built for shooters who demand true versatility from their carbine optic. Vapor blends the rapid target acquisition and etched-reticle clarity of a prism system with the adaptability of a 1–4X magnification range, giving you fast, both-eyes-open performance at 1X and confident, positively-identified precision at distance when magnified.
Unlike traditional LPVOs, Vapor remains compact, lightweight, and brilliantly simple. The etched reticle is always visible, whether illuminated or not, ensuring dependable sighting under any condition. And because every rifle setup is different, Vapor was engineered with modularity in mind.
You can mount an RMR-pattern red dot directly on top of the optic or at a 45-degree angle using optional adapter plates, creating an ultra-fast dual-optic system. Vapor is also available with an optional QD mount and in three different mounting heights, allowing you to tailor eye alignment and ergonomics to your rifle and shooting style.
Rugged, daylight-bright, and purpose-built for real-world use, the Vapor 1–4×22 delivers unmatched flexibility without compromise, from CQB speed to magnified precision, all in one refined optic.

Mount an RMR-pattern red dot at a left or right-side 45-degree offset for rapid, heads-up target transitions without breaking your shooting position.

The optional QD mount allows fast, tool-free removal or re-installation of the Vapor optic while maintaining repeatable zero and true return-to-aim performance.

The FIRE™ reticle is engineered for shooters who demand speed without sacrificing precision. The bold illuminated outer arc instantly draws your eye to center for both-eyes-open CQB shooting, allowing you to acquire and engage targets without hesitation.
A fine 1.5 MOA center dot provides a crisp, precise aiming point, while the clean MOA-based holdover system delivers predictable, repeatable reference marks as you stretch out to distance.
And because the FIRE™ reticle is etched into the prism, it’s always visible, with or without illumination, ensuring total reliability in any lighting environment.
Simple. Fast. Confident. That’s FIRE™.

BDC values are approximations and will vary based on barrel length, muzzle velocity, ammunition type and lot, sight height, zero distance, atmospheric conditions (temperature, altitude, pressure, humidity), and shooter input. Always confirm your trajectory and holds at the distances you intend to shoot.
This reticle is Second Focal Plane (SFP). Subtensions and BDC references are calibrated at 4× magnification only. Using the BDC holds at other magnifications will result in incorrect hold values.
