The ACSS reticles (different variations of the ACSS concept) were designed to "hit" human targets sitting still, walking or running with a rifle. I'm surprised that the Democrats haven't banned these reticles as "evil." If the Las Vegas shooter had used these scopes, liberals would have made them disappear like they did bump stocks. What's that? Not one American turned in their bump stocks after the unlawful "ban?" We just created hundreds of thousands of new criminals that we need new prisons built to hold them all. Thanks to the Democrats for wiping their collective asses with the American Constitution. Don't worry about illegal migrants, worry about the Democrats...build the wall around California.
I have owned one of these scopes for about a year and use it on my 3 Gun rifle, it has gone through 2 majors is beat up and still works, although I just discover a limitation of the optic this past weekend, but that was due to unusual rules and divisions. Still love it and will continue to use it, hits to 550 and 600 are easy and I followed the manual for zeroing with 75gr bullets and tracks perfectly at the longer distance.
One thing that gives you even more flexibility is the Trybe 2x magnifier that can go right on the end of an LPVO. Lots of extra range or target visibility with that addition.
I bought one of these back in March and mounted it on a 5.56 carbine, but haven’t had a chance to get it to the range yet. I also own an earlier 1-6x ACSS SFP scope for my AK, and it works pretty decently (within the limitations of an AK); but I plant to remount it onto a .300 Blk SBR I have. I also own one of their micro RDS sights. I own several other much more expensive scopes from other brands which are mounted to bolt guns, but I’m fairly impressed with the quality of the PA scopes at their price point. Glad to know that the reticle actually works.
I have it on my LWRC and it is awesome. I love the fact that I can use it as a red dot for close quarters and as a scope and go to 4 or 5 hundred yards.
PA is the best bang for the buck for optics and the ACSS raptor is my favorite for both X39 and 7.62 NATO. You are at the limit for 5.56 and within 1 MOA with standard 55 gr practice ammo. GGG is a deal as well.
@@sategllib2191 They do have a store front but it's small. They have some of their scopes on display and a few AR parts/triggers. You mostly place your order online and pick it up in store. If you need to see something not on display a store associate will help you and they'll pull it from the warehouse. It's a big place altogether. I haven't received bad customer service but it is your typical gun shop experience. Most AR guys have always seemed a little standoffish.
@@TexasLeverGunner I live very close as well. The "display" is deeply discounted optics. The racks with parts are all clearance items not on the website. Same with the optics. Example would be the cyclops for 149, 3x acss prism for 189, and lots others.
Foe under 5 hundo?! Shiiiieeet sure beats the hell out of sprayin' n prayin'!! Just ordered mine, in fact, last night from Amazon for my Life n Liberty $500 PSA AR15 BUILD...Nice coincidence that y'all put out this 'confirmation vid' for me...
I appreciate the video I ordered one two days ago. It was a blemish but I spoke with precision arms which I will say great to talk with. I understand warranty still the same plus for me a scratch is no biggie I rattle can all my rifle and gear optics. So a win win for me
11:30 Shooter hits twice at the top of the head. Spotter: "You're kinda in the neck area." Shooter proceeds to adjust up and misses, and then proclaims, "Like I said, it's not exactly meant for precision."
I have one of these on my ar10. Just got it sorted out this weekend at 100. Shot a few at 300. Kinda sloppy but that was my own fault. Looking forward to getting it outside again
I have a 18 inch black rain ordinance 6.5 grendel been looking at high power scopes bought a monstrum 6-24x50 gen 3 but when got them they were both were used supposed to be new but these got my eye seeing you can shoot without touching the turrets at different ranges accurately wonder how well they would work for hunting?
Although it was mentioned briefly, I think it would have been helpful to explain the differences and benefits/negatives of a First Focal Plane (FFP) and a Second Focal Plane (SFP). I don't believe there is any comparable FFP variable optics near this price point.
Imo this scope is best served with the extended mount, I seem to be running into an issue with scope box with the standard mount and my particular setup
these scopes are awesome I have several. I have this one in 7.62x39 on my ks47 and its crazy how good it shoots out to 300yds a 6' target at 300yds is rather boring even with the cheapest steel case ammo. I have the gen 1 1-6x on my 14.5' 223/5.56 a 2.5x on my 10.5' and probably my favorite is the 4-14x orion on my Grendel which had me on a 12'x18' steel in 4 shots the very first time I tried shooting 600yds. Cant wait to get the 3-18x or maybe another 4-14x for my 243win ruger American.
I've got the same basic rig, and it is sweet. At first I worried that I might be putting too little optic on too much gun. Not at all. It's so good it's boring.
On this 4th of July weekend, I have been reading and listening to the TV and TH-cam presenters and it’s time for all firearm owning Americans of all kinds to band together and march on Washington and declare our position loud and clear. I do not have the following to lead the fight, but if any of you, have the following to band together and organize some type of demonstration, I will volunteer my services to help in any capacity I can. I for one will not give up my guns because of any laws that are passed that supersede the Second Amendment. The pledge I made when I joined the United States Army was to combat threats to the constitution both Foreign and Domestic. I was born in Cuba, my parents left Cuba in 1960 because of the same vitriolic socialist Gun confiscation talk that is going on now. The same thing has happened each time in Germany, Cuba and Venezuela in the last century and the results have been the same.. Any time the Government tries to disarm the population the result is tyranny. It is time now!For if not us, WHO? If not now WHEN! Sincerely an Loyal American!
You guys should do a test of suppressors. And see which one has the least point of impact change shooting with and without the can. Im trying to find a suppressor right now that the point of impact wont change going from shooting without the can to putting the can on. Sound suppression is 2nd on the list
Ok need opinions. SFP or FFP? I have older eyes and so I am concerned about close distance work. How does the 1X reticle size compare to an Aimpoint Pro at 2 moa?

@@SneakyKittyGameDev Thanks brother. I could possibly see me running the FFP at close range at say 3X. I guess I really need to get behind each one without purchasing one of each. I shoot fine to 100 yds with an unmagnified 2 moa dot but beyond that I need help. I do lean SFP at this point. Thanks again. Have s great 4th.
@@deediddy either way you cannot go wrong. i would checkout garand thumbs review of the FPP version as well as he talks about the good and bad. you to have a good 4th man!
I believe the larger reticle at 1x in the SFP will suite you well since at close distance you won't be using the BDC. At a distance you need magnification flipping it to 6x is probably what you'd do anyway so there isn't much of a loss. Some use a FFP scope's illuminated reticle as a red dot since it's that small at 1x.
Appreciate the shout out; the ACSS reticles really are some of the, if not the, best thought out reticles on the market.
100% agreed
Review the 7.62 ACSS Raptor on a 300BLK!
Indeed
Yes indeed.
🍻
I love my PA rifle scope. The ACSS reticle is my favorite of all my scopes.

I've enjoyed using this scope for about 2 years now. I use mostly bulk or mass produced ammo and my setup with this scope doesn't disappoint.
Primary Arms make good scopes.Dimiti raised the bar and made good optics into Great Scopes with his ACSS Reticle
What made me love the scope is that I was hitting 12" gong at 100 yards before I even touched the turrets when I went to sight it in.
I have owned one of these scopes for about a year and use it on my 3 Gun rifle, it has gone through 2 majors is beat up and still works, although I just discover a limitation of the optic this past weekend, but that was due to unusual rules and divisions.

Just bought one of these for my AR, super stoked to get it out and stretch its legs!
Great shooting guys! -Dimitri
Yall are awesome, thankyou for all the fast shipping.
I have tested this Raptor optic out to 600 yards and it was dead nuts!!

Have this same optic. First one I bought for my first ar. I made a great decision. Love this optic!
SOLGW has the Trijicon ACSS scope for $535 on sale for the 4th right now
Primary Arms has been making some good optics these days.

@@Bada_Boom78 eye relief is awesome on this optic
Primary arms has become my go to lately. They are killing it with some pretty awesome optics at a stellar price.
Took this out to the range yesterday and loved shooting it. The chevron tip makes it so easy to focus on. Buy it in First Focal Plane, its nice.

Great Review Chad ! Demitri and those guys Kick Ass !!!! Great group of guys with some killer ass scopes
Hey, just zeroed mine on Saturday. Really enjoyed it.
What made me love the scope is that I was hitting 12" gong at 100 yards before I even touched the turrets.
I just picked this up and put it on my PTR-91. It’s so awesome to be able to reach out to 600 yards with the ACSS reticle 👍🏼🥳
Mine will be here by lunch today!!! I have the same mount too. Giggidy! And to top it off, my Geissele SD-E trigger comes in today too!!!!!!!!!!
Love living about 5 minutes away from primary arms.
Do they have a store? Or is it just a warehouse?

I already have 3 different primary arms optics with ACSS reticles. My next one will be the Raptor ACSS.
my wife has a PA ACSS on her .22 lr. she says it is like cheating.
now that is funny!
11:30 Shooter hits twice at the top of the head.
Spotter: "You're kinda in the neck area."
Shooter proceeds to adjust up and misses, and then proclaims, "Like I said, it's not exactly meant for precision."
I shoot Primary Arms in competition and had 0 issues even after falling onto my rifle and breaking my leg during a run and gun. Very impressed
I have a 1-8x24 on a PTR-91 and like it. Just had it out yesterday for the 4th! I haven't had a chance to stretch it out though.
Love my 1-6 raptor! I have it in that same American defense mount, just the taller version
You could do some torture tests for optics too, not too many people have done those, and i am sure it would interest a lot of people :)
"long hair don't care" chad is my favorite
I have one of these on my ar10. Just got it sorted out this weekend at 100. Shot a few at 300. Kinda sloppy but that was my own fault. Looking forward to getting it outside again
Put one on my ptr 91. So far so good. Btw that gun broke a vortex 4-10 so if it holds up I'm going to say it's great
Never heard of that ammo, BUT I have now and I placed an order. Thanks
Dimitri has revolutionised the reticle game with these optics.
Griffin
Athena
Hera
Apollo
Aurora.....
Those are the ones on my need to have list
A8vscRrabbit Best reticle designer ever.
Ain't that a Patrick swazy song "blame it in the wind"!
I have a 18 inch black rain ordinance 6.5 grendel been looking at high power scopes bought a monstrum 6-24x50 gen 3 but when got them they were both were used supposed to be new but these got my eye seeing you can shoot without touching the turrets at different ranges accurately wonder how well they would work for hunting?
Holy moly that 440 group
I have 4 PA ACSS optics, ordered number 5 today.
Those 500 yard hits are amazing!!
LITERALLY just bought this about an hour or two ago.
Beautiful rifle there chad.

ordered AR parts from PA and brownells july 1st i just received my parts from PA today july 3rd brownells havent even processed the order yet.
Happy Independence Day Eve to all you Awesome Americans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Aye bout time yal reviewed my scope. Love it. Id sell the gun before the scope.
Familiar set up... I like my vortex strike eagle 1-6 ×24 on my build. I Also just run out of ggg. Back to s&b now.
Right in the boiler room 😂

I need the ACSS reticle on the VCOG
If im not mistaken you can use the edge of the horizontal lines for 2.5 mph winds
ACSS is Life 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice optic and great shooting! 👍
So is this part of their new silver series of optics?
I like the recital much easier to use than the mildots
Can anyone tell me if the reticle etched on this one ? Does it work without batteries ?
nice target cam
On the scope mount..What brand is it? And how many cross lugs does it have on bottom to negate the sliding, including the cross bolts you tighten?
Would you still choose this over the new Aurora or Fiber wire sfp's?
I've got the same basic rig, and it is sweet. At first I worried that I might be putting too little optic on too much gun. Not at all. It's so good it's boring.
This or a 4-14x44 for my AR 10? To many to choose from. Mostly used in the 200-300 range.
Hoping to see a good 4th of July video soon
You going to turn in that suppressor if this new bill passes?
At second focal plan is the drop compensator only accurate/true at 6 power (maximum power) or is it just the wind hold overs that are just affected??
Awesome scope Chad !!!!!!!!
Am I crazy for wanting to use this on a 7.62x39 AR for hogs? I already have the scope, but want to use my AR15 for home defense...
Nice review, do you have a discount code to use when I mention you when purchasing?
Look at the setting on that diopter! Somebody is blind as a bat!
Would love to see an Amazon Budget Optic Shoot Out. What does $30, $60, $90, $150, $200, $300 get you? Reliability? Fun for the Buck? Or total Schist.
Extremely interesting content
PA optics rule! ACSS is awesome 🤘
I would love to see I think it's called the Apollo From primary arms on a 6.5 creedmore If you guys could do overview on that please
I just got mine last week. I got it sighted in with 6 shots. Now I need to find a range that goes out to 1000 yds.
Y have backup irons If u can’t flip up e LVPO? Serious question
hes running a QD mount
I thought people were switching to MIL rad scopes? Why did Primary Arms choose MOA adjustment over MILs?
Excellent video sir
