Looking for an inexpensive prism scope for an AR-15. I know cheap is not the way to go. I want to put it on my BIL AR without spending many dollars. I will gift it to him so my Sister doesn't get to excited on the $$$ for his JohnJak AR-15 build.

I’m not sure what you consider inexpensive. Optics Planet has the Vortex Spitfire 1X for $180. These are excellent prism scopes (I own 2) . Good glass, nice reticle, plenty of brightness settings and Vortex Customer Service & lifetime no BS warranty can’t be beat. If that’s in your price range, I highly recommend this scope.
+1 on the Vortex Spitfire. I own two 3X (for my older eyes ...) and am very pleased.
I have the SwampFox Blade, and it works really well. I especially like the reticle on it.

If you think vortex is cheap enough to give away, that's where I would look. For ar15 plinker hunting etc at 100 yards or less it's all you need. They have at least 2 models under 200. If it's because of astigmatism, I tested them both at cabelas at Christmas and they are awesome compared to my primary arms red dot, and my vortex red dot.
If you aren't in a big hurry I would look for used on ebay or ar15.com I bought my vortex prism scopes from both places for quite a bit less than new. And the vortex warranty goes with the scope, not the purchaser. They probably have the best warranty in optics. They have replaced stuff for me that I obviously abused. I tried to buy a mount for a magnifier that I dropped off my atv and they just sent it to me.

Top of this Amazon page is SIG and Vortex choices.
The vortex prism optics are a good choice. EUROOPTIC has some for a good price on close out. You can get a spitfire for a buck forty.

Another option would be Primary Arms offerings.
