DEP Michigan, member, from MI, United States, asked on December 13, 2022

Is this same unit available in a 3X version. It's perfect but 5X may be a bit much for my needs.

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on December 19, 2022

Yes. We also carry the Primary Arms 3x32 Compact Prism Red Dot Sight, which can be found by using the link below. If you were specifically looking for an FDE model, then I would recommend the TRYBE Optics S.L.E.D 3x32mm Prism Scope, which can also be found linked below:

Q
Alb, member, from CA, United States, asked on December 02, 2022

How much torque to install this optic on my ar15? It doesn’t say in the manual torque specs for installing.

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 21, 2023

Primary Arms does not provide a specific torque spec for their OpticsPlanet Exclusive 5x36 Gen III Compact Prism Scope. However, for most optics with an integrated rail such as this one, the recommended torque value of screw tightening is 40 in/lbs or 4.52 Nm. The Trijicon ACOG, for example, can be torqued to 44-66 in/lbs. You can also contact Primary Arms directly to see if they offer a recommended torque value for this optic.

Q
rusty, member, from CA, United States, asked on August 12, 2022

so I have this optic with the 5.56 reticle and I just picked up the same model for .300 blk. what kind of bullet specs is the drop ladder set up for?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on August 18, 2022

The Primary Arms OpticsPlanet Exclusive 5x36 Gen III Compact Prism Scope ACSS reticle BDC calibrations can be seen in the product images on the product page. These calibrations are designed for 5.56 and will not be consistent for 300 Blackout but if you know your bullets trajectory you can make your own corrections.

master of nothing, guest, from MT, United States, asked on July 29, 2022

What are the drop values? I’d like to compare them to my 11.5” 5.56 and my 9” 300 Blackout.

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on August 10, 2022

The Primary Arms OpticsPlanet Exclusive 5x36 Gen III Compact Prism Scope BDC reticle drop values can be seen in the 8th image in the product images on the left side of the page. But the center dot is 100 yards followed by 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 yard marks.

Q
rusty, member, from CA, United States, asked on July 27, 2022

what is the size of the bds relative to the rest of the view? is it really tiny? also, how off would a .300 blk running super and subsonic?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on August 09, 2022

The Primary Arms OpticsPlanet Exclusive 5x36 Gen III Compact Prism Scope reticle will extend from the center point to the bottom of the lens. It is not a very tiny reticle. You could use the ACSS 5.56 reticle with 300BLK but you will have to understand the trajectory of the cartridge you are using and not rely on the BDC reticle to make corrections.
