Q
DONALD DRAGUN, member, from SC, United States, asked on January 07, 2023

can the mount be changed for use on bolt action etc. for hunting

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 16, 2023

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.

Q
Kanjozoku, guest, from IL, United States, asked on January 05, 2023

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

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on January 30, 2023

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.

Q
Pat B, member, from NY, United States, asked on December 13, 2022

I know this is marketed to handle recoil of a 308 or 5.56 and follow both trajectories pretty close but would it be close enough to work on a 300 blk?

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

The Primary Arms OpticsPlanet Exclusive 5x36 Gen III Compact Prism Scope uses the ACSS AURORA Reticle which is specifically designed for 5.56 loads. It can work with 300 Blackout, but the holds will be different from the 5.56 holds on the reticle.

Will this reticle work for 300 Blackout?

A
Answered by Sal, member, from WA, United States, on December 16, 2022

You will want a 7.62x39/300 BO reticle optic instead for proper BDC.

Q
Scott, member, from CA, United States, asked on November 23, 2022

Is this prism scope compatible/adjustable with AR-10 or .308/7.62x51mm rifles?

A
Answered by Austin, member, from WI, United States, on November 30, 2022

Yes, believe it or not by the ballistic trajectory for 556 and 762 NATO are robustly similar out to 300 yards, where the differences really start to widen passed 1" delta. Obviously your mileage will vary based on specific bullet weight, coefficient, and velocity compared to the 556 NATO standard used to mark the hatches. Check you local ballistics calculator to see for yourself how your 308 compares.
