Primary Arms GLx 2X Prism with ACSS CQB-M5 5.56/.308/5.45 Reticle

I’ve always loved my Aimpoint Micros and other collimator type of optics, but at this point, worsening astigmatism has made them nigh impractical for me. Luckily, I found that this optic is a very viable replacement. The low magnification, combined with the excellent daylight-bright reticle, generous eye box/relief and a very wide FOV, allow me to engage CQB targets almost as fast as I was doing with my red dots and holos, while the magnification also makes precision hits on medium and long-range targets easier. Despite having lower magnification, the clarity of this glass lets me make out fine details better than I can do with my cheaper 3X prisms. The adjustable diopter offers a tangible advantage over even the much more expensive optics like ACOGs. In addition, this optic is built sturdy (though no ACOG-sturdy), looks pretty sexy and doesn’t add too much weight to your rifle. The battery life is the best in its class, combined with a “Shake Awake” feature. Also, the etched reticle makes this optic usable even without a power source, offering a good choice for “preppers” concerned about things like battery availability and EMP. As always, PA shipping was quick and everything was well-packaged, with a bunch of free stickers and such. The included mount seems pretty good, is removable and the package includes all kinds of different risers. I’ve always used QD mounts for collimating and low mag optics and thus, paired this scope with an American Defense ACOG Micro QD Mount. I had no problem removing the factory mount and installing the AD with an appropriate riser. This optic required very few adjustments when I was laser bore sighting it in my garage. The adjustment knobs are solid, with very positive clicks. Taking this scope out to the range on top of my new BCM upper, it took me less than half a box of 77 gr OTMs to get it to the point of shooting rounds through the same hole on a bullseye of a 50-yard paper target. I don’t think that I have ever zeroed a scope this quickly! Anyhow, the only “negative” I can say is that buying this optics is ending up costing me quite a bit of money, because I now need more of them for my other rifles. Luckily, you can get three of these for the price of a single ACOG 1.5X! Good job, PA!

This is the best optic for an AR

This is a quality optic all the way around from glass quality to eye relief. I never owned an optic with this type of reticle but I really like how sharp it is. It took me only 15 minutes of practice after setting the diopter to my eye to focus on the reticle be able to pull it up to my eye quickly and have my eye pick it up even indoors at close range.

Perfect scope for 22 or rifle for 75 yds and in, on a light weight Ruger 10/22 carbon fiber, both eyes open. I tend to like ar scopes on 22 rifles.

First time buying a Primary Arms optic after years of getting Holosun, Vortex, Trijicon and Aimpoint etc. The glx glass is phenomenally clear and the reticle is sharp and bright. Also the current shipments have 5 types of screws and 3 height mounts. Everything seems rugged and well though out. This won’t be the last PA optic I buy.

Bridges the gap between red dot and lvpo. Can “almost” be both. I really like it. Also It can be used with a2 front sight

I was hesitant to buying a scope online but found it was saving me a little money and time since my local shop didn’t have it in stock. I love the etched glass and different illumination levels are great and if I forget to turn it off there’s an auto turn off feature after 30 mins. Hold zero really well after some initial adjusting had a tight grouping in no time.

I bought mine after I got to try out my son's. It has enough eye relief that I still have peripheral vision. I have an astigmatism. This prism scope resolves my issues for an AR optic.

Très bon scope... Rien de négatif à dire...
