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.

I will put this scope up against anything out their, I’ve shot out to 600 yards consistently with this scope.
You won’t be sorry

Perfect clarity and brightness levels on the reticle. Love the range and moving target functions. Performs like an optic twice the price at least, and feels solid.
Great Scope
by Richard -
Finally got a chance to shoot my Ruger AR556 since mounting the 5x36mm Gen III, and I was extremely pleased! With no adjustments, first three shots were an inch down to the right of the target's center. Great first impression!
Worth it!

After much research, I decided to buy the 5X with ACSS reticle and I’m happy I did. Finally got a nice enough day and sighted it in. Shooting M193 at 50 yards, just wrapping the horseshoe around the sticker. Grouped a hair low and right. A couple of adjustments later. Last 5 were money. Nice clear sight picture too!
My favorite optic
by Michael Kilgore
I have had vortex red dots, lpvo optics, and I own the PA Red dot, which is great but this one is my favorite. I do have a slight stigmatism so that’s probably why. The glass is clear, and the reticle is crisp. I would recommend getting a higher mount than what comes with it standard though.
Amazing optic

Attached this to a 20” 5.56 with the Primary Arms Micro Reflex on top using an ADE picatinny adapter. Primary Arms optics are the way to go.
Amazing optic! Definitely recommend!

I bought this as a budget optic expecting to upgrade in the future, but when it arrived I began thinking it is here to stay. It looks better in person than I anticipated--the finish is beautiful and so smooth. The turret on the top allows you to choose to have either a green or red reticle which is such a great feature. As is well known, the ACSS reticle with bullet drop compensator is very intuitive and great to shoot with. The piggyback pic rail on top is there if you want it, but removable if you don't. Individual shooter focus adjustable. Overall, the only thing this doesnt have that the ACOG does, is tritium. At a fraction of the cost, this just may be the way to go.
Glass, Reticle, Turrets
by JMD
I've given this optic a good workout out to 400yds shooting 62gr 5.56 from an 18" barrel.
The ACSS Reticle is spot on, and not obnoxious or in the way at longer distances like some of the donut reticles.
Glass is clear and crisp.
Turrets track reliably.
Cons: It's heavy, and no auto-sleep/shake awake on the illumination. Don't forget to turn it off when putting it away.
Still, I think this is a very high value optic, and an excellent choice.
Best Ever on a SW AR10
by Edward -
Love this scope, dialed it in and stays on target after well over 500 rnds. Crisp, Clear Glass and trajectory scale for ranger and movement.
prism optic is the way to go
by E -
Being new to a prism optic, I like the clarity. The ACSS offers more tools than I'm used to to get the shots on target. It's a good thing to have a reticle with moving target leads.
