Do you ever find the reticle on the 5x PA prism scope to be too hard to see? I'm always worried that the horseshoe might be obstructive.
Gonna do a video on the glx 2x prism?!
Prisms in general tend to have the widest field of view compared to any other magnified optics. Not sure on this gear but if it’s as you stated, it’s an anomaly not necessarily the rule.
Good video
3x vs 5x prism. What are recommendations for mid range rifle. Something like 50 – 500 yards?
Which one has better clarity and best retical Vizability
What's with the craze to talk like you've ripped 13 lines during the intro, LOL
im running a strike eagle Gen2 1×6 lpvo with a holosun 507c x2 on a 45 degree offset. im considering removing the lpvo and start running a 3x or 5x prism with the holosun offset. anyone have expierence with this? thanks
Algorithm + 1 credit. Well done. “Keep up the Fire.”
This video helped me so much, now I know what to spend my stimulus check on, lol.
love your videos and content, keep up the great work!
You should try out the Atibal 3X MROC. You will be extremely impressed, $ 325.00
The fake, overly enthusiastic opening and delivery is jarring and annoying to the point of making this video unwatchable. Tone it down a bit. Don’t be fake. Be you.
Hello, I’m looking for a scope and with my budget it’s between these two primary arms acss vs vortex strike eagle. Which would you recommend? Thanks in advance.
I think 🤔 I would go prism and run a red dot on top!🦇🔫🪓
Wow, I really thought the LPVO would have worse eye relief. Thank you!!!
Anyone know of any cheaper version of the elcan spectre dr? Looking for a prism style scope that’s quick adjustable like the elcan.
What about the x5 fixed with a canted red dot? 😎👍
That 5×36 prism didnt seem like it had much of an eye box. The camera coudnt even find it.. and i was thinking about it for a build..
What if your dominant eye isn't your strong side? I'm right handed but left eye dominant. Thoughts?
I like you with backwards 🎩 dude .
How often do you use 2-5 on your LPVO? Seems to me for competitive shooting or tactical having a fixed 3X or 5X depending on terrain or mission with an offset red dot is the fastest way to get on target. Within 100 yards you just go to the red dot and outside that distance, you go to the fixed power prism site. Especially if your LPVO is a second focal plan where your reticle markings only easily work at the highest settings. I have to believe the fixed and offset red dot are a much faster solution as long as you get enough training in to accurately rotate your rifle for the offset shoots.
Prism sights all the way. Shooting with bindon aiming concept negates the magnification at close range and 3x- 5x fixed prism is absolutely more than any AR-15 or similar 556 NATO rifle is ever going to need.
I would consider these battle ready optics. Border patrol uses the prism scopes and they get in shoot outs across the border all the time
Lpvo+canted red dot, the best of both worlds
Wow dude great video. First dude to actually give great info on these. I'm going to go check out your other vids.
One day there will be a scope with everything in it. Ballistic compensation. Laser range-finding, atmospheric it will be a 0 red dot able to magnify to 500x with perfectly enhanced digital picture. And it'll only weigh 8 oz. Automatically turns to night vision combined with thermal as soon as it gets dusk. That sounds just about perfect to me LOL😂🤣😊🤣😂 oh and I forgot it'll take Glock mags!
Great insight … thanks!
Actually this was the perfect video depicting to differences between the two options.
Helped me decide on the 3X Prism. Thank you.
Thanks for this, really helped me come to a decision.
Is one easier to shoot with both eyes open? Thx
Don’t apologize. Just present your information. Everyone will have an opinion after you do. Not worth worrying about.
I know a few local Sheriff Deputies that run the ACSS Prism & they love it. I have the 1×6 on my 556/233 and the 4-14×44 on my 300BO. They are heavy scopes but definitely a great option. Now that most all come with Lifetime Warranties. I had a coating issue with my 1×6 & Primary Arms went above & beyond to satisfy me. I bought my Ghost 300BO upper from P.A. I live by the Store but you cannot purchase from the store here in Pearland TX. They have computers for you to use inside to place your orders. They ship fast also. They do have Certified Repair in house also. If they cannot repair or whatever they'll send you a new one.
At 25 yards indoor range, i need 8x mag to identify the target so i wish more optics start with 8x mag
PA 5x prism with the PA advanced micro red dot mounted on the top of it, or the 1-6 or 1-8x LPVO? Rifle purpose is cqb/ mid range shooting. Glass clarity, versatility, battery life and durability are my main concerns. Which one of these configurations would suit me better?
Honestly I am stuck between the 5x Prism and the 3x Prism. I have a LPVO already but I don't find it practical as I don't want to change my zoom in fight.
All optics will fail eventually get good with irons just in case
I have the 2.5x prism and love it! Saving for the 1 6x FFP now. The only thing I'll change in the prism for 556 is I'll prefer the chevron tip to the dot inside the horseshoe
This is EXACTLY the comparison I was looking for, not just the products but the details and specifications that you talk about. Answered my questions, thank you!
The low power scopes are the way to go. The horseshoe on the 2.5 and 3x are too small. The 4 and 5 are ok. However the low power scopes are better even at low power. I tried the cyclops 1x on an AK and found it so small it was near unusable.
On 3x prism how hard is it to make out the reticle I couldn't quite make it out in the video would it be that difficult actually looking through it
I'm new to your channel and it's one of my favorites! So if you only had these to optics that you just reviewed, sitting on the exact same AR15 223. Which one would you grab if s@%t hit the fan? And the same question with a AR10 308? Or maybe you have a better choice in the PA family of optics?
Have you tried the 3X or the 5X at cqb type of distances?
I like the videos, but I felt like the start of this one felt like you were trying to be the "Demolition Ranch Guy" and trying too hard
just get them all im slowly getting there but soon as I get the latest they drop a new one lol granted that's because I can only afford 2 a year or so. I finally got the 4-14 orion then they came out with the 3-18x. Plan on getting that one next maybe this Christmas lol the struggle is real when you have 3 kids and a fire arm addiction
You know what CM? I hope you have been awesome! Another great video. Maybe some shooting footage of using both scopes at CQB and out to 100 yards would be cool to see.
I have become wise to your energetic intro ways. Your tricks no longer work on me. 🤣
Great review Mr Mash.
I have an ar that is itching for 3x prism. I have a red dot on it now and really just want a little bit of magnification but don't want to have anything to fuss with. The intention of the rifle is to be minute-of-man accurate across my yard, not some precision shooter.
