The heart of our tough 2.5X Prism Scope is the ACSS 5.56 CQB-M1 reticle that combines ranging, wind leads, moving target leads, and ballistic drop compensation out to 600 yards. The outer horseshoe of the glass etched reticle is used for close quarters engagement, simply place the generous semi-circle on the target and run with it! Each side of the horseshoe also has our 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 inner 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. As an added bonus, the glass etched reticle does not require batteries or illumination, but 11 brightness settings (including daylight bright) allow for fast acquisition in close quarters, or enhanced visibility in fading light, powered by a common CR2032 battery!
The PAC2.5X offers mounting flexibility to suit your needs. The included thumbscrew 1913 MIL-STD Picatinny mount can be removed and replaced with any mount that accepts AR-15 carry handle-type optics, or simply so you can mount the 2.5x Prism Scope directly to an AR-15 style carry handle. Optionally, shooters can add an M1913 picatinny rail to the top of the optic to piggyback a red dot back up sight. The PAC2.5X offers the perfect amount of magnification to balance close quarters speed with hits at medium range, in a flexible and durable package.

Just got one in the mail. Can't wait to try it out.
Dude, your friggin’ hilarious. Great stuff.
Good video. I appreciate all that through-the-optic footage!
Cyclops Joe can you check out this 1-4×24 variable optic from S2 Delta? It has a nice short throw lever with flip up caps like the Primary Arms, also an illuminated BDC retical spec for 62gr 556 that's bang on out of a 16inch AR15, plus its selling for $149.99 on Amazon
Love da vids .
Tq sir…iam just subscribe your channel….keep going..good job sir
As always – Good job buddy! What happened to the air weapon ?! Unfortunately, it is not easy for US to have a firearm, so I suppose many of US expect and in this direction you will come back again ….
Mr. Rhea, I just picked up a Benjamin Steel Eagle .22 at Superior Outfitters for $49.99. I couldn't believe that price and looked it up before purchase and 1100 fps(alloy). For that price I had to grab one. When the guy came back with one in the box for check out he said about six employees were getting one now. I guess I found the bargain of the day. If you want to get one cheap, I recommend acting fast. If you don't get one, but want to play with one, I'll let you break this one in and find the pellet it likes best.
BUILT LIKE J LO. Enough said. Lol
I bought the same optic about 2 months ago on sale for $130, including shipping and the glare filter too. Going from a Romeo 5, on my 16” AR to this, I am getting pretty much the same result as you at 100 yards. Now the 500 yard dot is wildly optimistic – but 300 yards should be no problem for this badass unit.
Hi Joe… was wondering where the parallax is set on this… I have shot the 5x on an airgun , and I liked it… now I’m wondering about putting it on a modded Benjamin bulldog for hunting in brush out to 75 yds or so…Advisable?
Certified badass is all you can ask for. : )
that's a dam good group for a red dot! great review Joe!
Are they springer friendly?
Would be a great hog hunting scope!
Good job. Thanks
Nice review thanks for sharing.
Cheers joe 👍
Right out the gate Joe, I always appreciate the informative videos you share. Alas, I have a question. Which scope overall would you recommend to a dedicated viewer and shooter of pellets, of whom request 600 F.P.S or less at a target of 15 meters or about 30 feet , in .22 break barrel ? Thanking you in advance for a reply. Best regards to you and family by the way.
Awesome little scope. I have the 1x cyclops 👁 and I love it but sometimes I wish I had a little magnification like a 3x behind it or maybe this 2.5 instead. Hmm 🤔
