Questions & Answers
can the mount be changed for use on bolt action etc. for hunting Expert Answer

Yes, the Primary Arms OpticsPlanet Exclusive 5x36 Gen III Compact Prism Scope actually includes a low mount with a spacer to put the centerline at 1.41" for AR platform rifles. However, the low mount will put the optic as low as possible making it ideal for AK's, Bolt Guns and more. You can also use aftermarket mounts designed to fit full sized 3x Power ACOG scopes, such as the TA01, TA11 and TA31.

Will it clear a front A2 post sight on an AR-15? Expert Answer

The Primary Arms OpticsPlanet Exclusive 5x36 Gen III Compact Prism Scope uses a spacer that sets the centerline height at absolute co-witness (1.2"). Meaning the reticle will be exactly in line with your front sight post. However, because it is a 5x prism, the front sight post will be blurred in the optic window.

Very pleasantly surprised by JB, Verified Owner, January 5, 2023
Wanted it in black but for $259 with the ACSS Aurora, it's a steal. $70 more to go to black, so I'll deal with FDE. It seems to be hard to find the ACSS Aurora reticle these days, so glad I got one when I could. Quality feel to the optic overall. G...

Best Prism Scope, ACOG Killer by CJE, Verified Owner, February 5, 2023
This scope with the ACSS Aurora bullet drop compensator is genius and effective at mid range rifle work. Takes no time to learn hold overs for your barrel length and bullet type. I was in the market for an ACOG initially due to its reliability, ease ...

Great optic for the money by Digger, Verified Owner, August 28, 2023
In the last 4-5 years, glass, glass coatings, and the coating processes have been unbelievable as far as this class of scope. Etched reticle and a mount. A prisim with this kind of glass would have cost double or tripple just 5 years ago. Mounted on...

Great optic for flat top rifles by JMD, Verified Owner, February 17, 2023
The reticle is excellent. Illumination is great if you like that. The paint job is okay, but not nearly as durable as hard coat anodize. The turrets have nice positive clicks and reliable tracking, not overly stiff or mushy - not a huge plus as this ...

Product Info for Primary Arms OpticsPlanet Exclusive 5x36 Gen III Compact Prism Scope w/ACSS AURORA Reticle

This prism scope is part of Their SLx optics line. SLx optics built Their reputation for innovation, reliability and value. All SLx optics undergo rigorous field-testing during development to best serve you in any environment.image

The Primary Arms 5X Compact Prism Scope Gen III with improved ACSS 5.56 reticle is Their most powerful prism scope design. The 5X magnification and bright illuminated horseshoe and chevron reticle allow for surprisingly fast, both-eyes-open shooting at close range, while the ACSS reticle allows for consistent hits on targets out to an impressive 800 meters. The Gen III scope has been equipped with Their next generation ruggedized mounts to provide flexible mounting options with incredible clamping power.

The heart of Their tough Gen II 5X Prism Scope is the ACSS Aurora reticle - Their very first foray into meter-based ranging and fire solutions. The feature-rich and intuitive reticle design is uncluttered, designed to communicate vital information in an efficient manner to not only increase first-hit probability but drastically reduce the time necessary to reach a firing solution to get that hit. From 300m and in, the illuminated chevron aiming point provides wicked-quick snap shooting capability and both-eyes open engagement, so you never lose peripheral vision. The outer tips of the chevron pull double duty as leads for targets moving 3.1 mph perpendicular to the shooter. For targets moving a bit faster, the two lead dots on either side of the chevron are leads for a target hustling along at 8.6 mph. Aurora even compensates for mounted targets up to 40mph!

For engagements 400m and out, the integrated bullet drop compensation and wind leads come into play. The tried and true ACSS auto-ranging system allows for near-instant range estimation, which enables rapid transition to the BDC system that offers holdovers in 50m increments out to an impressive 800 meters. The real world often involves wind, and ACSS Aurora provides full value 5 and 10mph wind holds. Is the wind a little stronger or softer, maybe coming at an angle? Use the holds as a reference point and adjust accordingly. For operators in the field, no other reticle provides the combined capabilities and intuitive use of the ACSS Aurora.

The SLx 5X Gen III has even greater strength and flexibility than ever before with Their next generation ruggedized mounting system. Weve upgraded everything about the mount from materials and finish to the design to create a mount that will not just clamp securely to your rail, but stand up the rigors of real-world use. Integrated recoil lugs help lock your mount in place against the heaviest recoil while large diameter crossbolts give you significantly improved clamping power and will hold up to significant torque. The included riser is the perfect height for AR-15s and AR-10s, but can be easily removed for carry handle or AK use as well.
