This Primary Arms prism scope is part of the SLx optics line. SLx optics have built a reputation for innovation, reliability, and value. All SLx optics undergo rigorous field-testing during development to best serve you in any environment.

The Primary Arms 5X Compact Prism Scope Gen III with improved ACSS 5.56 reticle is the most powerful prism scope design. The 5X magnification and bright illuminated horseshoe and chevron reticle allow for surprisingly fast, both-eyes-open shooting at close range, while the ACSS reticle allows for consistent hits on targets out to an impressive 800 yards. The Gen III scope has been equipped with the next generation ruggedized mounts to provide flexible mounting options with incredible clamping power.

Features:
  • New Ruggedized Mount provides exceptional clamping power
  • Includes AR-height riser
  • ACSS 5.56 reticle has BDC and ranging out to 800 yards with 5.56 NATO, .223 Remington, 5.45x39mm, and .308 Winchester
  • Partially illuminated reticle is visible even in bright daylight with red or green illumination
  • Red or green illumination available on the same optic for greater flexibility
  • Removable M1913 picatinny top rail for accessories or piggy-backed red dot sights
  • Generous 10.3mm exit pupil allows for a bright and forgiving eye box
  • 18.8ft field of view at 100 yards provides easier tracking of mobile targets
  • 2.7" - 3.0" of eye relief
  • 1/4 MOA turret clicks are tactile and audible for easy zeroing
  • Tough prism scope is waterproof, fog resistant, and shockproof
  • Durable hardcoat anodized black finish
  • Compatible with standard carry handle mounts
  • Protected by a lifetime warranty


The heart of the tough Gen II 5X Prism Scope is the ACSS 5.56 reticle that combines ranging, wind leads, moving target leads, and ballistic drop compensation out to 800 yards. To the right of the BDC ladder is the integrated ranging system. Place the bottom of the target on the bottom rung, and range up. If you know your targets are roughly 18 inches wide, they can be ranged on the side Auto Range system, or directly on the BDC hold overs! Two dots on either side of the horseshoe offer a moving target lead moving with an average speed of 8.6 MPH. Each step of the BDC system includes a 5 MPH wind hold, drastically improving first hit probability at any range. A center chevron allows for an infinitely precise aiming point that won't occlude the target. As an added bonus, the glass etched reticle does not require batteries or illumination, but 10 brightness settings (5 red and 5 green) allow for fast acquisition in close quarters, or enhanced visibility in fading light, powered by a common CR2032 battery!

The SLx 5X Gen III has even greater strength and flexibility than ever before with the next generation ruggedized mounting system. We’ve upgraded everything about the mount from materials and finish to the design to create a mount that will not just clamp securely to your rail, but stand up the rigors of real-world use. Integrated recoil lugs help lock your mount in place against the heaviest recoil while large diameter crossbolts give you significantly improved clamping power and will hold up to significant torque. The included riser is the perfect height for AR-15s and AR-10s, but can be easily removed for carry handle or AK use as well.

Good optic

by

Used a lot of optics as an 11b for 10+ years. Acog, elcan, eotech, sig sauer. This one is solid, has good glass, and I really like the reticle. Definitely recommend. I’ve read reviews about the reticle drop compensator markings being too small, but if you use the optic more than twice you’ll remember which line is what distance without having to squint at the numbers.

Good Stuff

Upgraded from an old red dot on my S&W MP15 to the Pimary Arms SLX 5x36 Prism ACSS and couldn’t be happier . The 5x magnification allows for both CQB and precision shots at distance. Have only stretched out to 400 yds so far and I am pleased with the results.

Awesome Optic

I purchased this optic for my 6.5 Grendel. Optic is clear and I can’t say enough about the ballistic reticle. Glass is good and the etched reticle is awesome! This optic is awesome for the price point! Thank you Primary Arms for taking care of us out here. Love it!

Loving mine!

The clarity of the glass is awesome. Definitely worth the money and I will be looking forward to adding these optics on more of my firearms.

Good quality

The reticle was smaller than I expected. But that’s just the reality of a prism scope. Definitely a good scope.

I have this on a POF 415 Edge. I was a bit skeptic about this optic and was torn between the 3x and this one. Reviews I read and watched had some that said CQB wasnt very good at 5x but some stated that with practice it was great for CQB. I always shoot CQB both eyes open so this optic was what I would term a natural for me. I really liked that I could also pinpoint shoot at 100 yds with it. One of the biggest selling points for me was the ability to go red or green in the optic. The 3x was red only. I love this setup of the 5x on the POF and recommend it to anyone considering a fixed magnification optic. If you have vision problems the green prism reticle is the ticket for you.

Awesome scope

Got this for my AR very accurate very clear easy to zero in .

You just can’t beat it, this prism scope rocks! One thing I would like to see in the future is a mounting option for an rmr pattern rds to bolt into the optic, keeping as low profile as possible.
