I've been WAITING for a number of YEARS for you folks to offer the 1-6 ACSS (7.62x39/5.56) in GREEN but to no avail.....my eyes don't do red well at all, so I'll have to keep spending my money on non-Primary Arms scopes, non-ACSS. I'd rather spend my money on one of yours, but to you folks, I and those like me are nothing more than a bunch of Red-Headed Step Children, worthy of only being ignored. Congrats on a great scope, shame on you for keeping us 'red heads' down in the dungeon.
JR Bailey sounds like woman! Oh this doesn’t match my purse! Stfu who cares about the color. I am more concerned about the drops and wind holds, mine are dead nuts, my whole department has gone to this for our SPR program.
@@brassvulcher8207 Tell you what slick, i'm a beat up old cripple with a crap load of health problems, lackluster arrogant individuals such as yourself would consider me 'half a man', but if you want to come down Central WY way, I'll see if this half man can muster up enough of a response to satisfy your sorry, lackluster posterior!
They're getting a lot of attention not just in civilian shooting circles but by the military as well. Lots of people have taken interest in the work Dimitri has done with the ACSS.
Primary Arms's ACSS reticle is easily my favorite reticle I've seen on the market. I own multiple Primary arms scopes. Frankly I also love the fact they make scopes that function well on non-AR platforms and I have a 1-6 Raptor on my PTR91 and a 1x Cyclops prism optic on my AK. In addition I own various 5.56 and 7.62x39 prism scopes from them. I never hesitate to recommend them.
As far as optics are concerned Dimitri is a God among men with the work and research he has put into these reticles! Acss is an excellent quick ref no math needed shooter solution.
I have one for 5.56 and another for .22lr on order. Once you know how the reticle works, it's easy to figure out how to use it. Please note, unless you have a First Focal Plane scope, the ranging and holdover hash marks only work when you're at max magnification. It's written in the manual, but if you didn't read it, you wouldn't know, unless you know the differences between a First Focal Plane scope vs a Second Focal Plane scope.
ACSS is life 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great video guys This is one of my favorite reticles it is the same as my 6X for my 22 LR rifle. it is nice because I can have new shooters get used to the reticle ( ranging and wind holds ) and then move them up to a 1-6, 1-8 or a acog with the same reticle on a full size rifle 🇺🇸
ACSS is a truly badass reticle. It's a game changer in my view. Primary Arms (Dimitri) hit the jackpot with this family of reticles! I really like the collaboration vids guys! Keep em coming!
I run a Primary Arms ACSS 4-14 on my Rem 700 LTR .308 with 168 ELD-M. I tuned the velocity so the hash marks line up almost perfect. I then zeroed the gun at 400 yards on the 400 hash mark. It's about 1/2" high at 100 and 2" low at 500 but spot on everywhere in between. I figure this is a pretty reliable 600 yard set up. The mistake everyone makes with BDC reticles is trying to zero at 100 and being way off at 5 or 600. Zero at 2/3 the total distance you plan to shoot that rifle using the appropriate hash mark. You may be a half moa off at your two extremes but close to spot on everywhere in between.
Love my primary arms scopes with the acss!! Thanks to all you guys, I have these quality optics at affordable poor man prices. Primary Arms is the first scope I’ve bought, and it’s probably the only scopes I will buy In the future! I got 3 of them, and I’m gonna purchase 3 more 😂!
Man I have one of these on several rifles. 1-6x 223/5.56 on one of my 14.5”. 1-6x 7.62x39/300b.o on my ks47. 2.5x prism on my 10.5” 223 and a 4-14x Orion on my Grendel. And I can’t bring myself to buy any other optic. Over the past few years I’ve been swapping these out with all my rifles. I have yet to find a more effective reticle. Even their silver series are great quality for the money. The platinum is outstanding and when I thought it couldn’t get any better they drop the gold line. Can’t wait to sell my vortex diamond back tactical off my 243 then replace it with either the 3-18x with the hud reticle or if funds permit I’d really like the new gold series 4-16x hud. These things work extremely well ranging, bullet drop, and wind hold even with calibers other than 308, 223. My Grendel is dead on out to 600yds with the Orion reticle just zeroed 3/4” high at 100yds. It’s nothing hitting 12” targets out to 600yds. Even 4” targets become easy to hit with the 7.62x39 out to 300yds. I’m sure it’ll work even farther that’s just as far as I’ve confirmed. If you don’t have one trust me you are missing out
The Primary Arms LVPO is a fricking beast for the money! I got one on sale the Gen 3 and it has this set up but uses the upside down V and it lights up for low light conditions and WOW this thing really maked things so easy lol my AR pistol is 11 inch barrel LWRC but the military rounds I use the 62 grain are hotter then any 55 grain from any other ammo manufacturer so not being a rifle doesn't affect the lines unless I use the 55 grain cheap stuff but shooting long range at a natural rock formation with moss and having a Leica Range finder really helps me out. I just cant wait until these scopes have the auto range and adjust like the $14,000 Sig Sauer scopes lol maybe in a couple more years ; )
Great episode. It would be nice to have a link to a scope or two like this and his YT channel that goes into more detail of this optic. Thanks again for this collaboration.
I find the ACSS reticle interesting especially since I have seen/heard that it is supposed to be better than a red dot for people with astigmatism, which I have.
It is! I can't use red dots with my old eyes...they are blurry. I use prism scopes and ACSS LPVO's from Primary Arms and have zero issues with starburst blurry dots. I highly recommend you try it out.
Well, I have astigmatism (both vertical and horizontal) and have the ACSS reticle on my 503G red dot. Let me tell you that it is unusable without my prescription glasses. Granted, I only use it in competition and for fun at the range, I would use it in a home defense gun. What you really want for astigmatism if you can find yourself in a situation where you lost your glasses is a prism optic. They have a multiple mirror system that collimates the light (similar when you squint your eyes to compensate astigmatism) and diopter correction (unlike red dots), making the reticle crisp even without prescription glasses. As a plus, the reticle is etched and will still work if the batteries die. The down side is shorter eye relief than a red dot (infinite) but still better than a regular scope. Primary arms and Vortex released micro prisms optics that are about as light as a red dot. You should check them out.
Love my 1-6x with the ACSS reticle. And I think Tiborasarus Rex has about as much time with the PA gear. And you know it's a good reticle if Trijicon puts it on the ACOG.
Trijicon couldn't come up with a reticle to match what was being offered by the ACSS, so they admitted it and decided to license it instead. Pretty powerful endorsement, as you noted.
i have two primary arms raptors FFP 1-6x with acss. just excellent esp for the money. tough to beat. since it is FFP, it is more of a red dot at low power then gives you proper ranging at any higher magnification.
Not being a pro shooter, (I'm just happy to hit a pie plate at 100 yards), extremely useful info!!! Never really understood how to use one of those fancy scopes, but I'm going to give it a try after watching this video... If Tim can understand it... Maybe I can too!!! (Not holding my breath though ;-)
I own 4 Primary Arms scopes. 2 prism scopes and 2 LPVO'S. I think for the money they are the best on the market. I wish they weren't made in China however 😡. ACSS reticle is fantastic.
SFP ACSS perfect compliment to Diamondback AR; 1-6x24 with specific BDC for my 7.62x39 and compatible with 300BO. No zombies yet afield to verify distancing accuracy. Have FFP ACSS HUD DMR 4-14x44 on both AR10 and Howa mock AR; again, no zombies afield. As with previous comments thanks for concise overview. Well done. The one thing missing in manuals and presentations such as this; what magnification is ranging accomplished?
I have a Primary Arms calibrated for 308 and the manual says to zero for 200 yards and the horseshoe is 18 inches wide at 200.(average width of a man) Just a note to keep in mind the caliber the sight is calibrated for.
One thing I'll never understand is why anyone decides to buy a scope that's as expensive as the gun it sits on. I'd rather have two $1,250 AR's than one $1,500 AR with a $1,000 ACOG. (even though I'm a tactical nerd and would buy one if given the chance)
I've been wanting to get one of the scopes with ACSS from Primary, but my eyes lose the red too much, so I've been waiting (IN VAIN) for them to offer the reticle in GREEN rather than red. Why they don't offer the Green option, I do not know, but until they do, my money will be spent on regular mil-dot scopes.
Gents, the TREMOR 3/5 can be "busy" if don't understand what you are looking at. If you know what you are looking at, the TREMOR 3/5 turns into something out of Star Wars. SOCOM Snipers have done some incredible things with TREMOR reticles; unfortunately those stories will never be told, but that is the nature of the game. " A paintbrush in a normal person's hand vs A paintbrush in DaVinci's hand".
thanks for the breakdown, I'd say your average audience are not shooting at people, there are a lot of references to shooting at people, I understand the reticle scale is based on human dimensions. I know you don't intend it but it comes across as a "how to shoot someone at distance" instead of consistently referencing a target or something it kept coming back to "a person" but at the same time Mac made comments "this this is hypothetical "the bad guy" so i'm not trying to be overly critical (not that you guys would care either way) I support both your guys channels, thanks
Joined the Marines just about one year too early to get trained properly on these. Used an acog once amd flippantly. Must have been a "we're supposed to have you all use this newer thing by the end of The day, but we have shit to do," type deal. Only ever qualled with iron sights--so thanks!
The 7.62x39/300 BO reticle is designed in similar fashion, except it is graduated for those cartridges and the most-common loads for them. It's good to go....
I’m patiently waiting for manufacturers to make reprogrammable reticles that allow users to create their own reticles, custom made for each rifle. I have several BDC reticle scopes on several rifles. I had to create a software program that would print the ranges for each reticle mark based on the specific cartridge I use in each rifle.
With this scope since it is a second focal plane (SFP) you have to zero in at maximum magnification. Also due to the nature of the SFP scopes you have to use the maximum magnification for the bullet drop compensator (BDC) to be accurate. Primarily Arms also make similar ACSS reticles on First focal plane (FFP) scopes. With FFP scopes the reticle will be accurate at any magnification range. You will notice that with SFP scopes as you increase your magnification the reticle stays the same size but your target is magnified. When increasing your magnification on the FFP scope you will notice that you also magnify the reticle along with your target. There are pros and cons to both. You do the research and spend your money the way you choose to. In the end you only win when you are happy with your purchase, not when someone else is happy that you bought what they wanted.
I have messed with one of these guys for a bit. I'd call it an improvement over the standard ACOG reticle. Probably better utilized on higher magnification than a 4x power. Also important to note that the reticle is extremely small in the generous ACOG field of view. Those with weaker vision might have trouble reading some of the range numbers. The tritium is also too bright for night vision goggles. Light, durable, and practical. Not quite perfect (yet?).
Tim, you're a shooter, it would be a great demonstration to take a couple models out, then zero and shoot them with different guns/calibers. They have charts for using it with 7.62x39 and 308, would be really cool to see a demonstration with 6.5 grendel as that's something I haven't seen anyone do before. Also, I'm sure there's other calibers you know of that have similar enough ballistics to get something useful out of this reticle.

Finally someone explains this simply and concisely. I’ve watched dozens of videos and have always ended up lost. This actually makes sense
The acss reticle and Dimitri's grids are the greatest thing to happen to the optics world. Period. These things are years ahead of the shooting world

PS I Love the stick figure with the AK-47
Best reticle system ever! Would love to see this on our service rifles
Love my PA Apollo 6.5 cm bdc. Its similar with more wind adjustment. Spot on out to 1k yards.
I find the ACSS reticle interesting especially since I have seen/heard that it is supposed to be better than a red dot for people with astigmatism, which I have.
Yes, us blind folks need prism sights. They are amazing for astigmatism
It is! I can't use red dots with my old eyes...they are blurry.
I use prism scopes and ACSS LPVO's from Primary Arms and have zero issues with starburst blurry dots.
I highly recommend you try it out.
Well, I have astigmatism (both vertical and horizontal) and have the ACSS reticle on my 503G red dot. Let me tell you that it is unusable without my prescription glasses. Granted, I only use it in competition and for fun at the range, I would use it in a home defense gun.
What you really want for astigmatism if you can find yourself in a situation where you lost your glasses is a prism optic. They have a multiple mirror system that collimates the light (similar when you squint your eyes to compensate astigmatism) and diopter correction (unlike red dots), making the reticle crisp even without prescription glasses. As a plus, the reticle is etched and will still work if the batteries die. The down side is shorter eye relief than a red dot (infinite) but still better than a regular scope. Primary arms and Vortex released micro prisms optics that are about as light as a red dot. You should check them out.

PA latest optics have the Christmas Tree designs but at premium prices, the ACSS reticle is perfect for your everyday shooter.
I have a PA 3x scope with that reticle. I don't have a long enough range to learn to use the BDC features. I use my 200m zero instead.
200m zero on a 3x 😁

Vortex makes a nice optic, but none of their reticle designs does what the ACSS does.

Are we assuming all of our target ranging occurs at 1 power? or are we zooming in to a certain power to do this?

Primarily Arms also make similar ACSS reticles on First focal plane (FFP) scopes. With FFP scopes the reticle will be accurate at any magnification range. You will notice that with SFP scopes as you increase your magnification the reticle stays the same size but your target is magnified. When increasing your magnification on the FFP scope you will notice that you also magnify the reticle along with your target. There are pros and cons to both. You do the research and spend your money the way you choose to. In the end you only win when you are happy with your purchase, not when someone else is happy that you bought what they wanted.
I have messed with one of these guys for a bit. I'd call it an improvement over the standard ACOG reticle. Probably better utilized on higher magnification than a 4x power. Also important to note that the reticle is extremely small in the generous ACOG field of view. Those with weaker vision might have trouble reading some of the range numbers. The tritium is also too bright for night vision goggles. Light, durable, and practical. Not quite perfect (yet?).
Mac, The ACCS 2 Raptor that is now out. Do you know if these are etched reticles? I'm assuming not but you never know. Thanks
I hit steel at 600 with a century arms ak47 and a PA 3x slx microprism.
Tim, you're a shooter, it would be a great demonstration to take a couple models out, then zero and shoot them with different guns/calibers. They have charts for using it with 7.62x39 and 308, would be really cool to see a demonstration with 6.5 grendel as that's something I haven't seen anyone do before. Also, I'm sure there's other calibers you know of that have similar enough ballistics to get something useful out of this reticle.
Thanks for the idea. We will definitely be using the ACSS in future videos and the 6.5G is ideal given my love for the caliber.
