When it comes to firearms and accessories, I always abide by the age old saying that you get what you pay for. Its tough to bring quality optics to market at affordable prices and even tougher to go against big names such Trijicon, Vortex, Leupold, and even Nightforce. When Primary Arms brought out the 1-8 ACSS SFP scope, I was hesitant to jump on the train at am optic coming in <$400 in a market ruled by $650-1000 scopes. Surely this couldn't compete and sacrifices had to be made to come in at that price point. Well, I was wrong. Reading and watching countless reviews with nothing but good things to say with this Primary Arms optic, I decided to throw the dice and pick one up. Well, what do I have to say other than WOW...
This optic has clear glass, and I mean clear glass. You will notice this right away. Now, its not Leupold Mark 4 or Nightforce clear, but you are going to have a hard time noticing differences with scopes such as the Vortex Razor HD which come in at almost 3 times the price. FOV is another big thing. This being a 24mm eyebox, it gives you a FOV right up there with something like the Razor which is 26mm and I would say its right there with the Vortex Viper line, the Leupold VXR line, and dare to say right there with the Trijicon Accupoint. Eye relief is very forgiving, and you will only notice your eye relief starts to narrow past the 6x mark. The ACCS reticle is phenomenal and gives you everything you need for quick ranging without cluttering up your FOV.

ADM mounts are some of the best. You really are not going to find a better mount for the price. The 30mm id of the rings fit perfectly and locked up tightly on a PA 1-8 ACSS. The throw levers lock up tight and don't mar the receiver like a lot of other mounts that "dig in". It can be tricky to get the screws adjusted for the throw levers correctly but you have to realize they end up locking up a lot tighter than other mounts. Also, I believe torque specs are 25in/lbs, this needs to be about 35ish in/lbs. Very good mount, and I think I will go with these on all of my rifles. A+++ ADM.
