Wow this is holy shit good!
by Aaron -
I am still a novice. Had started with buis and an a2. Had bought an entry level 1-6 optic and thought it was good enough. After reading many articles and videos on the GLX 2x, I took the plunge. This optic is phenomenal. Clear, easy to use, and yes it is daylight bright. The included mount is rock solid. The local range has a 200 yard field and I can put shots in 5" groups all day. A better marksman could short much tighter than me, I am still an entry level shooter. Bottom line, if you are thinking of getting one, buy it.
Solid

The optic is very well built. Reticle is clear and sharp. Glass is top notch!
Can’t wait to shoot my new AR with this optic!
My favorite optic this far
by JJH
Initially zeroed to be an inch high at 100 yards, tuned zero at two hundred and was easily nailing 2/3 size ipsc targets at 300 yards. The glass is so incredibly clear edge to edge. Once the diopter is set the reticle is clear and crisp. I prefer to shoot without the illumination myself but is more than bright enough if you want to shoot with the illumination during the day. Base is simple and rock solid. I'm still trying to figure out how to dial in the BDC, currently, I have to use the 500 yd dot to hit at 300. That's the only reason why I dropped a star. The manual is somewhat vague about zeroing. I think I'll have to dial in 300 next trip. Thanks PA for my favorite optic! I'd take this 2x ACSS over any 4x ACOG any day of the week, and I've spent a lot of time behind ACOGs.
a great buy

Even better than expected- glass is very clear, light transfer very good, eye relief better than others have said and the illumination is awesome...100% daylight bright.
Versatile, precise, fast
by Don in AK
I just spent my first day at the range with this scope. I love the clarity and the field of view. Best of all was once I got the scope dialed into my AR's load, I could consistently shoot small groups and hit any clay pigeon chip on the 100-yard backstop by putting it on the tip of the chevron in the reticle. Superfast target acquisition and an excellent reticle for pinpoint precise shot placement. As the sun set, and the shadows took over, the intensity adjustment for the reticle made it easy to keep shooting with precision. I'm VERY happy with my purchase. I will be buying more of these at higher magnifications.
Love it
by James
Clean clear glass
Really good eye relief
Great CQB with both eyes open with a STOOPD bright reticle for even day time.
Great Glass and reticle- not the best quality control on mount
by Aaron -
The scope is very clear, the reticle is fast to use, and is daylight bright unlike the PA ACCS FFP 1-6 scope I have that is not day light bright. It makes it easy to hit 8’ steel plates at 200 yards mounted on my 11.5’ 5.56 AR- and is also useable at close ranges.
Unfortunately, one of the two screws attaching the scope to the spacer/mount will not come out no matter how much force I use, so I am unable to put the scope on the quick release scope mount I got with it, or change the spacer heights.
Outstanding optic!
by XTrooper
I am thoroughly impressed with this optic. Crystal clear glass, 2x power which, in my book, is perfect for an AK, and the excellent ACSS reticle. Finally, the AutoLive feature is a great addition to an already excellent optic.
Great 2x optic!

Just what I was looking for on my SBR build. Have had it for 3 months or so and it's just perfect. Also has some super clean lines which look amazing!
This thing could be used as a hammer!
by Micah
Being only 16 years old and not making much money I was taking a big gamble buying a near 400$ optic. Ever since I saw how well this performed on my AR10 CQB-Mid distance set up, primary arms has always been my number 1 store for gear.
