Automatic_Market7422@reddit
I want a photo of what it looks like with a top dotĀ
Crapidian@reddit
You didn't say you wanted a photo of what it looks like with a GOOD top dot

(Don't worry its no longer on there)
Automatic_Market7422@reddit
Nice yeah I've heard this, scope is good but it really looks cheap with the top rail on it. I think if you covered it up with a Lil pistol dot it would look nicerĀ
Crapidian@reddit
The good news is the top rail itself is removable. But yeah it kind of looks like an airsoft optic for sure. But no one buys Primary Arms stuff to "flex on the poors", so oh well.Ā

Chat gpt is your friend in this case
Haunting-Country5922@reddit
I own this and everything is great about it except in my opinion the reticle is too busy. Would rather just have standard crosshairs and not the giant circle thing
TubeSockLover87@reddit
Its probably a hard ask, but whats the comparison of this vs a crimson trace CTS-1100?
Haunting-Country5922@reddit
Sorry, never tried those so I can't say
Crapidian@reddit
I don't have the CTS1100 but here is a pic of the ACSS reticle at 100 yards. I took awhile back. I agree with u/Haunting-Country5922 that this reticle could be betterĀ

Damn 5.56 Oos
therealtoh@reddit
I literally just bought this yesterday for $249, am I cooked, or will they price match? Its been less than 24 hours
Legal-Practice2445@reddit
Email them and ask them to price match and if not, just return the one you bought and buy this one
LePfeiff@reddit
Have you emailed them?
A10050@reddit
Hell yeah, thank you.
Due_Land_8716@reddit (OP)
Figured someone else would be as hyped as I was to see it this morning! Purchased for retail a while back and returned it to keep using a red dot + magnifier but at $199 it was a no brainer. Built like a tank.
Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit
Let me know if you see 5x. I am tempted to try this out for this price
Due_Land_8716@reddit (OP)
It's at $279.99
Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit
I have it in my cart right and debating if the extra is worth it over the 5x
Due_Land_8716@reddit (OP)
Buy both and return one!
kevinting69@reddit
Didn't their return policy just change recently?
cheeh00@reddit
What changed?
kevinting69@reddit
Items must be in new/uninstalled condition now. It's no longer try it and if you don't like it return it.
Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit
Haha Iām one of those consumers that dislikes return things and will end up keeping both lol
Batttler@reddit
5.56 version out of stock
cheeh00@reddit
Shit 5.56 OOS been wanting to try this out
Reasonable-Rub1437@reddit
The manual says "The average target moves at 6.1 mph." Out of curiosity anyone know what the "average target" is?

When the mag dump whiffs and your enemy doesn't even think it's worth it to sprint anymore
1lookwhiplash@reddit
Do we like this more than the Micro prisms? I''ve got a Nova (love it) on my AR right now but my setup is too heavy, so I'm looking to cut weight and make it a bit less bulky.
Due_Land_8716@reddit (OP)
Micro would definitely check the box to cut weight/bulk. These are on sale for $231.99. I prefer the full size as it has more forgiving eye relief in my experience. Plus it's built better if you're throwing the rifle around. I don't like the way the micro offsets from the mount. Either option is a solid choice though!
1lookwhiplash@reddit
Re-commenting because the autobot didn't like my link:
Thanks for the analysis!
I'm a little shook because apparently the Nova I own isĀ 17.9 oz, whereas the full size you linked isĀ 18.4 oz. Does that sound right to you?
The Nova looks considerably larger. I know looks can be deceiving, but...
Vindictive_Turnip@reddit
Consider that your nova doesn't account for the weight of the mount, and that mount probably doesn't have a way of putting a piggyback on it easily. So it's more like comparing 18 oz to 22ish oz.
But yeah, she's heavy.

IntelFrouge@reddit
The microprisms are good. This is heavy and the reticle is annoying.
Brotherauron@reddit
I just bought a glx 1x for my soon to be scorpion, I have the ol double tism, autism and stigmatism, so I'm hoping that this actually does fix the starbursty goodness that traditional red dots do for me
Psychological-Drive4@reddit
This aināt it then. Get the 5x micro and add the the HeroMod mount for the top dot
Adventurous-Film7400@reddit
5x micro + mount is the way to go to save weight. Personally I like this option more than the HeroMod (and the default PA adapter): https://www.fotonika.online/product-page/primary-arms-1x-3x-5x-multipurpose-mount-v2
1lookwhiplash@reddit
That looks clean!
Adventurous-Film7400@reddit
Yeah it's gives ACOG vibes but with cleaner lines. I just picked up a 3x micro from PA (since they are so cheap right now), and am now agonizing over whether to grab a 5x + the Fotonika mount and leave the 3x in the drawer for the next build!
1lookwhiplash@reddit
I suppose the mount you linked does not work with the 3x micro?
Adventurous-Film7400@reddit
Yup they have a 3x mount (and the 5x mount can be also used with the 3x micro), but if I'm going to add a red dot I prefer 5x for the main optics. To me 3x is a good middle ground that avoids the need for a separate 1x dot.
Initial_Science_2448@reddit
No but they have a separate mount for the 3x micro that does the same thing
bigfatbeancan@reddit
Is this BIN?
Due_Land_8716@reddit (OP)
From what I've seen most definitely. Then again at this price I'm not going to be upset if it pops up for slightly less elsewhere.
EternalGandhi@reddit
Thanks! In for one of the 5.56 version.
crispygarlicchicken@reddit
whats the advantage over their own micro prisms
Adventurous-Film7400@reddit
Pros: slightly larger eye relief, slightly cheaper, potentially more robust, arguably looks better
Cons: big & heavy
EternalGandhi@reddit
Can I put this on a 5.56 rifle or SBR'd 5.7x28 pistol? Is it just that the reticle and markings wont line up like they will with 7.62/300blk?
Loud_Dumps@reddit
Great budget/vibe optic for your FRT support weapon build out
47_Puppies@reddit
It's a 7.62/300 blackout reticle, rather than 5.56, just FYI. Not sure if that matters much, though.
Due_Land_8716@reddit (OP)
5.56 is in the post body for the same price!
47_Puppies@reddit
You're absolutely right, sorry. Gonna delete the comment.
Fit-Nebula2949@reddit
how? it says 5.56 in the description.
noha_thedestro@reddit
Anybody know what mounting system these use?
