Pretty pleased so far
by Dan
I'm fairly happy with this purchase. Having done a pretty substantial amount of research before buying, the combination of features you get with this optic is tough to beat at any price point out there, at least as far as prism scopes go. What sold me personally was the permanently etched reticle, 1/4 MOA adjustments and the toughness of prism type scopes. The rest of the features are some really nice side benefits to make a sweet deal even sweeter.
Exactly what I wanted
by Nate S.
So I have a couple AR rifles. I have one with a red dot and one with a red dot 3x combo. I had debated a lpvo scope but I just didn't think it was for me. I searched and searched and found this. I absolutely love it. It has such a clear picture I'm very impressed. My Sig M400 is complete now.
Great scope, but I dont like the reticle.
by Jaydee
The holdover dots are hard to see against dark background; IMO something like the more prominent 3X Tallon reticle would be a better choice.
finally, a retinal that I can see!

started with a Romeo 5 on my POF 5.56, my astigmatism distorted the dot to where I would have to guess point of aim. Problem solved with the GLX 2x, No Distortion, clean image every time! I can now reliably hit x ring at 100 yards, I'm a happy man!
At the top….

This was a great addition to my carbine. It really does check all the boxes.
1. Clear glass
2. Daylight bright reticle
3. Highly functional reticle
From 4 yards out to 400 yards it is one of the best. Factoring in price point, it is the best.
Fantastic Optic
by James -
This is an absolutely amazing optic. Very clear glass. I have used it out to 500 yards without any issues. The ACSS reticle is spot on. Highly recommended!!
GLX 2X Prism
by Jacob
I purchased this off of Amazon. So far this optic is by far out performs any RED dot on the market. With its ACSS reticle, I can not only range for longer shots, I can lead a runner as well as being very comfortable to use in CQB despite it being 2x.. As I purchased it off Amazon, I wrote to the company to inquire about how to register it for its lifetime warranty. Not only did they message me right away, the answer was very pleasing as well. They are really standing behind their products no matter where you purchase it from. VERY PLEASED with Primary Arms and I will be using them for ALL of my optics needs in the future.
This is it
by Josh -
Ok this optic really surprised me. Most optics are either 1x or >3x but 2x just hits different. I can easily use this thing with both eyes open and unlike an ACOG my head doesn't have to be in the perfect position for me to get a good sight picture. This thing has held up to some rough use and kept zero. You never know what situation you're going to be in but this optic is my go to do all optic now. 2x is just enough zoom to reach out to the capabilities of the 5.56 round and thats all I could ask for. If primary arms finds a way to improve on this optic I'll definitely be buying another. Perhaps make it more appealing to the eye?
