After rigorous field testing, this optic has been given a gold-tier rating by the National Tactical Officers Association.
This Primary Arms red dot sight 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 SLx MD-25 Gen 2 Microdot with ACSS CQB reticle now comes with AutoLive, improving the functionality of an already amazing red dot sight. Stretch that already insanely long battery life even further and remove that fear of picking up your rifle and the dot not being there. With this red dot sight, the moment you pick up your rifle, the dot will turn on and be ready precisely when you need it. After sitting motionless for a brief period of time, the red dot will shut off and conserve battery. Still featuring the same lightweight and durable design with a field of view that rivals larger 30mm red dots, the MD-25 Gen 2 is a no-brainer upgrade to add to your collection.
The ACSS CQB reticle features three BDC dots underneath the chevron, allowing an unprecedented 600 yards of bullet drop compensation for 7.62 NATO or 5.56 NATO calibers in a compact red dot sight. Auto ranging and wind leads are also incorporated into this smart reticle. A CQB horseshoe grabs the eye instantly for close quarters shooting and also approximates the spread pattern of 00 buckshot at 25 yards.

The Gen 2 SLx 25mm Red Dot been equipped with the next generation ruggedized mounting system. Everything about these mounts has been upgraded from materials and finish to the design in order 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 to for installation on AKs, shotguns, and more.
The SLx 25mm Gen 2 red dot includes the low base, a standard riser, and two different height spacers, as well as appropriate mounting hardware. With just the low base, a central height of 0.96” can be achieved. Add the standard riser for 1.41”. With the riser and thin spacer, your central height will be 1.54”. Using the thick spacer will place the optic at 1.64” height. With these options you can easily configure your optic to perfectly match your firearm and shooting style.

I cant stop smiling with this optic. I put so far 1000 rounds of 62gr 5.56 on my ar and it is still hold its zero, only took 5 rounds to zeroed. I been doing a lot of abuse on my weapon and optic and this bad larry has been keeping up, i am happy i got this with the 3x magnifier.
Great optic for the price
by Andy
Pros: it feels great, durable, and well made. I love the 25mm objective lens compared to a 20mm micro dot. Makes a huge difference. Reticle might be a little hard to see, but that’s why I have a magnifier (highly recommended.) Very clear and crisp lens.
Cons: brightness rotary knob feels mushy and kinda stiff, and kinda takes up a lot of space making the optic look bulky.
One thing to note that I learned is if anyone ever thinks the reticle is canted/tilted, adjust your shooting posture. I learned that I didn’t realize is when you hold your rifle at even just the slightest angle, it’ll make the reticle look like it’s tilted so keep that in mind. Overall, this is the best optic for the price I’ve bought so far.
Great optic
by Andy
This is a fantastic optic for ACSS. Great for close range engagements with the horseshoe and the BDC is very convenient for longer ranges. I will say that i highly recommend getting a magnifier for any ACSS reticle. Some people might say the reticle is too small or hard to see, but that’s only because they’re not using a magnifier.
great red dot

wish I could give this a 10 stars!!! had issues with my Holosun AEMS and had 2 sent back till I finally just gave up on them (still waiting to get it back hopefully they just give me a new one), but I will be sticking with this red dot on my riffle and maybe get one for my pistol if the AEMS doesn't work but I'm beyond pleased and great quality!!! keep it up guys
Primary Arms success
by Mark
The ACSS reticle is small but I use it as a red dot for close range. I have it paired with the PA 6x magnifier and the reticle is of course magnified, and perfect for longer shots. I recommend some type of magnifier be used with this. If you're not going to use a magnifier just get the red dot only version.
Great optic- Like the auto live feature
by Russell Dye -
Great glass. Chevron is easy to see in bright daylight. My groups are better with this reticle than a 2 MOA dot. Can’t wait to try the 3x version.
Great Optic
by Michael Kilgore
I couldn’t be happier. I saw some of the complaints about the chevron being too small. I’m using it on my short barrel 300 blackout and it’s perfect. If you want a larger reticle you should get one of the prism scopes or lpvo scopes. I have a slight stigmatism and I can still see the chevron well. I highly recommend this optic.
Just a solid red dot
