After rigorous field testing, this optic has been given a Gold-tier rating by the National Tactical Officers Association.

This Primary Arms rifle 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 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 Aurora reticle is MIL-based with ranging and hold overs to 800m
  • 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 7mm exit pupil allows for a bright and forgiving eye box
  • 18.8ft field of view at 100 yards provides easier tracking of mobile targets
  • 2.5" - 3.0" of eye relief
  • 1/3 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 Aurora reticle - the very first foray into meter-based ranging and fire solutions. The feature-rich and intuitive reticle design is uncluttered, designed to communicate vital information in an efficient manner to not only increase first-hit probability but drastically reduce the time necessary to reach a firing solution to get that hit. From 300m and in, the illuminated chevron aiming point provides wicked-quick snap shooting capability and both-eyes open engagement, so you never lose peripheral vision. The outer tips of the chevron pull double duty as leads for targets moving 3.1 mph perpendicular to the shooter. For targets moving a bit faster, the two lead dots on either side of the chevron are leads for a target hustling along at 8.6 mph. Aurora even compensates for mounted targets up to 40mph!

For engagements 400m and out, the integrated bullet drop compensation and wind leads come into play. The tried and true ACSS auto-ranging system allows for near-instant range estimation, which enables rapid transition to the BDC system that offers holdovers in 50m increments out to an impressive 800 meters. The real world often involves wind, and ACSS Aurora provides full value 5 and 10mph wind holds. Is the wind a little stronger or softer, maybe coming at an angle? Use the holds as a reference point and adjust accordingly. For operators in the field, no other reticle provides the combined capabilities and intuitive use of the ACSS Aurora.

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.

Very nice

I haven't mounted and run it yet, but I like the size, power, and Aurora reticle. I know I won't be disappointed once I get it on an upper.

Awesome optic!!

I own multiple PA optics but I think the 5x36 is my favorite and so is the Aurora reticle. Crystal clear glass, a larger easier to see chevron available in BOTH green and red, all in one scope. Using mine on an AR platform my only complaint is I wish it had a little bit more eye relief available- in my case to get the correct eye relief, I had to remove my rear backup sight in order to move scope back where I needed it. Honestly though, the scope is so tough I probably don’t need the backup irons anyway !. Get one, you won’t be disappointed.

WOW.

Hands down has to be the best bang for buck purchase I have ever made in an optic. Not only is it comparable to my Trijicon 5x35 acog, but I actually like this PA better. Seems to be easier to focus between varying distances without adjusting focus knob. The extra 1mm in lens maybe playing a factor? Still the only thing I can say better about the acog is it variates light intensity automatically due to fiber reticle vs knob battery. If this optic came with a gyro wake up, & a solar for charging, auto intensity, or wake up feature etc. I WOULD OF GLADLY PAID MORE. This was my first purchase of anything PA, and this kind of quality says a lot to me.

This prism optic with the ACSS Aurora is a acog killer. I took it to the range on top of a C7 new build and zeroed in under 8 rounds. I now love the Aurora more than my other PA optic's with the ACSS. Friend of mine never used my rifle and has a red dot on his pucked up my rifle and was shooting less than 2" groups on steal targets at 100 yards. He immediately went home and ordered this optic. I would definitely recommend anyone looking at this optic do not hesitate to buy this. I will be getting one or two more.
