I do some shooting with the Primary Arms 3x & 5x prism scopes with the ACSS ballistic reticle. I go over the features of the optics and the two different versions of the ACSS reticle.
3x 5.56/308/5.45 scope:
5x ACSS scope:
3x 7.62/300BLK optic:

Does anyone know where Primary Arms manufactures their gear?
Would the 3x be plenty of scope for my 5.56 at 3-400 yards it has a 16 inch barrel?
Can we get some info on the suppressor you were using in the vid? Thanks.
how is the same scope be used for 5.56 and 308 and the bullet drop work?
Can somebody please tell me if it is ok to zero one of these 3x scopes at 100 yds?
Thanks for all the great videos.
I like the 2.5or3x for CQB. BUT I am thinking of going with 5x and mounting a Vortex Venom 6MOA Dot on top for Very CQB with ability to got to 5x instantly . . .Sounds like ideal set-up for Combat Weapon. Has anyone out there tried this kind of set-up, OR, Anyone have any ideas or suggestions along this line ? ? ? Thanx in advance for any feedback ! MrGnG->Love your "Real World" vids and your FB alerts on Killer Deals…Keep it up !
Can't wait for the GenII review! Did you already order one to test it? Also, as you tried all these optics, what would you recommend ACSS red dot + magnifier or fixed 3x ACSS + mini red dot on top? (or maybe which is better for which use.) Thanks a lot for your vids. You have always great music choices!
Got a 5x coming in for the AR and can't wait to get one for the AK.
Thanks for the review. Saved me from buying an ACSS ACOG.
Whats that quick detach mount you always recommend? Ad b3 or b2?
So which would you recommend more for a semi-light weight, close to mid-range rifle, the 3x prism or a 1-6 raptor? I don’t know which optic to choose or which works better with back up irons.
I reaaaaalllly want to zero the dot to 50. How off do you think the rest of the range reticles will be if I did that? Like 3 or 4 inches or more than that?
What FDE rifle was that
Accidentaly broke my Nikon….. this will be nice replacement.
Luckily the Nikon was only $20 and lasted me over a year until I dropped it 🙁
Super bad vocal fry
Can you do a true hard hitting abuse test and see if it truly is a poor man acog take the full abuse that a acog can
Will the bullet drop work with all calibers?
I took out the 3x today I can't get it zeroed at 100 yards any advice thanks Mr gunsngear
Are these zeroed at factory
How’s the eye relief on these? If you said I didn’t catch it so I apologize for that
That Bren 805 has got to be 11lbs with that optic/suppressor/light on it and it looks cool but it's weight is in full retard mode.
The theme music that makes you feel ready to take on the world <3
Just picked up a RAS-47 and am thinking of putting this on there along with the Vortex Venom on a 45 offset. Awesome review!
Now stop reviewing gunsngear so we can stop wanting to buying gunsngear.
FWIW, 3x has gotten me out to 700yds no problem on an AR-15. And 3x is plenty enough for work a bit closer. 5x would be great with a red dot to go on top or beside it.
Whats the battery life on these
How do these optics perform when paired with a fixed front sight?
If you had to choose would you go with 3x or 2.5x for a 10.5" pistol build? I was worried the 3x would look a little big on a pistol build, what do you think? I have the 3x 7.62 version on my ak and love the big outer cqb ring, is the 2.5x reticle and ring the same size as the 3x?
Kinda irks me it doesn't have the chevron!!! I want the chevron, but really don't want to be forced to buy the ACOG to get it because I want the 5x! Decisions, decisions….
Mrgunsngear I chose this optic over the 1-8×24, but I have seen a review that states the reticle is to small to read. What is your opinion?
Better enjoy these Ar-15s now. I'm sure they will be banned soon and prices will double
So I'm new to optics and I have both a 5.45 and 5.56 rifle. If I wanted to switch this scope between the two, would there be any problems (besides maybe rezeroing for barrel length or what have you)??
Why doesn’t anyone show down the scope?
Any issues with the front site post on an AR platform?
I have a 300 blk out and was wondering if I have to buy certain glass, or can I use like a vortex red dot or eo tech 512? I see that you said you have one for a 7.62 or 300 blk out.
I have this Scope on order and should be delivered two days. For the money I am expecting a great battle scope to mount on my AK. I ordered the 3X and the two piece RS Regulate Mount from AK Operators Union Local 47-74 called the "Goat Fucker" Hunting Combo Pack – Annihilator / 7.62 Version for $410.00. I have not found a bad review of this scope after a week or more of viewing and reading reviews.
What did you do in the AF and Army?
Deciding between purchasing the 2.5x or the 3x. Since its winter now I shoot alot at 50yrds since thats how far the closest indoor range to me goes out to. Would like the added .5x magnification for when the weather gets better but what would be your advice between the 2 at 50yrds? Already have a nice red dot so not looking to buy another one of those just yet.
How are these when it comes to parallax?
Dumb question… You said "apply locktite to these screws" … I see two vertical screws going into the optic and two larger horizontal screws for holding it in place on the rail. My assumption is you mean the two horizontal ones for the rail. But I want to be sure….. Do I need to unscrew and apply locktite to the vertical screws as well?
From a durability standpoint, how do these compare to an ACOG? I'd love to get an ACOG but have a hard time swallowing the $1K price tag. Primary use is for open range/SHTF scenario.
@Mrgunsngear how is the parallax on the 3X?
between these 2 optics would the 3x be better for close range to 2-300 yards?
Love your comment, "Just like in the movie Spinal Tap, it goes to 11."
Did you just mount the optics to your GDI mounts? My GDI mount has my PAC5X slanted a LOT to the right…
Can't use red dot because of astigmatism,looking at primary arms 3x etched reticle or vortex 3x used for home and range to 300,which one do you prefer,thanks
