Reviews & Ratings for Primary Arms SLx Series 3-18 x 50 mm Rifle Scope — 17 reviews — Page 1

Very nice scope, pricey but woth it. The clarity is really good, the only thing that I don't quite like is the magnification dial is pretty stiff. Hopefully it loosens up a little bit after it's used.

This is a great scope from Primary Arms. I chose it for the ACSS feature and illumination. The clarity is not excellent, but works well for my shots at 500yds or less. FFP, nice turrets, illumination are my favorite features. Definitely purchase the sun shade for this scope! I would recommend this scope to anyone looking for a middle of the road optic.

I compared it to a few other popular brand scopes I have and am coming back to get another! Love the recital most of all clear glass at a very good price point, not in stock at PA so I will give OP a shot. Can’t wait to hit the range again

Great scope, primary arms makes some top of the line scopes with great glass, I wanted to reach out a bit further than my 1-8 would go so picked this one up and love it! I’m thinking of buying a second when they go on sale again

This is a great budget optic. It is not really a 3-18, but more of like a 3-12. Once you pass 12x the image becomes less clear and it is harder to identify targets. I would recommend for a budget optic but not if you are looking for a nice solid high end optic. I do like my purchase and would do it again. I just figured I would pass along my 2 cents.

Got this scope cause of the simplicity of the 6.5cm reticle (and I’m an idiot, lol). Sited in at 100 in 3 shots after bore sighting (noice!). Tracking and clicks seemed very good but locking the turret seemed lacking, compared to my Forge. The picture starts getting very finicky at around 14/15 magnification and don’t have very much wiggle at 18. I think for getting into long range it’s a decent scope to start with.

FIRST - PRIMARY ARMS SUPPORT GROUP WAS EXCELLENT ON RETURN, REVIEW AND REPLACEMENT. BUT, I FINISHED REVIEW
OF RETURNED (NEW REPLACEMENT) USING THE SAME RINGS FROM BOBRO. PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE PARALLAX DIAL WORKED
FLAWLESSLY, THE SCOPE SEEMED FINE, AS BEFORE. ON THE RANGE, AFTER ABOUT TWENTY RDS THE DIAL STARTED TO TIGHTEN
UP, IT DID WORK BUT A FEW TIMES IT STOPPED BUT AFTER BACKING IT THE OTHER WAY WOULD LOOSEN UP AND YOU COULD THEN
GO UP AS DESIRED. BUT, THE TIGHTNESS WAS BORDER LINE IN SOME RANGES. AS BEFORE, 50 YDS TO 200 YDS WERE EXTREMELY
CLEAR ON 10 PWR. RETICLE WAS ALSO EXTREMELY ACCURATE. WHEN JUST TRYING TO GO ABOVE 200 METERS, DIAL WAS VERY
TIGHT BUT DID MOVE WITH ALOT OF EFFORT, LIKE HOLDING THE GUN OFF LINE TO MOVE. THAT SAID, I GUESS I'LL USE IT ON
THE RANGE AT THESE DISTANCE'S, ZEROING AND SIGHTIN IN TYPE STUFF, TOO HARD TO ADJUST OUTSIDE THIS PARAMETER. APPRECIATE
THE SUPPORT STAFF ATTEMPT TO FIX, WHICH IT IS IN THE MOST EXTREME BUT NOT TO A USABLE DIALING CITUATION - JUST TOO
BLURRY AT 500 YDS OR LONGER WITH THE RETICLE AND ASSOCIATED FOCUS COMBO. IF IT WORKD IT WOULD'VE BEEN PERFECT BECAUSE
THE AREA WHERE IT DOES WORK (50-200) IT'S PERFECT. THANKS FOR TRYING, I'LL JUST GO BACK TO DIAING AT DISTANCE......

THREE STARS UNTIL I RECEIVE RETURNED APOLLO AND CHECK REPAIR. PRIMARY ARMS IS WORKING THE PROBLEM AS I WRITE THIS. I WILL UPDATE UPON RESULT. THE SCOPE IS REALLY NICE IN THE AREA THAT IT WORKS. ON A SHORT RANGE (0 - 200 YDS). NEVER WENT PAST 200 YDS UNTIL I FINALLY WENT TO ANOTHER
RANGE WITH DISTANCE TO 1200 YDS. TO VERIFY RETICLE. PARALLAX WOULD NOT TURN PAST 200 YDS WHEN TRYING TO GO OUT TO THE LONGER DISTANCE'S. I SEE THAT SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH THEIR PARALLAX IN THESE REVIEWS. OTHER THEN THAT I LOVE THE SCOPE AND THE COCEPT. JUST HOPE IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CORRECTED. OTHERWISE, I'LL HAVE A NICE 3-18 FOR SHORT RANGE PLINKING AND ZEROING, LOL. I WILL FOLLOW UP WHEN CYCLE IS COMPLETED. I DO HAVE OTHER PRIMARY ARMS, ACSS, SCOPES AND THEY ARE ALL EXCELLENT, TOO DATE, SO, MO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAND.

This scope is the best scope I've owned n one of the best for the money. Its nice only downside in my opinion is when u zoom all the way in its little more blur then I'd like but by no means bad. With the scope sun shape its great for glare n very clean easy to use scope.

Scope is good so far, glass is very good for this level, id say clarity is on par with Leupold Vx3 or Nokon Monarch 3 and 5 level, contrast isnt quite as sharp in a woods enviroment. Reticle is very clear and sharp and focuses nicely. Turrets arent quite as crisp as i expected but arent bad. Scope focuses on the necessary parts to work well. Definately would reccomend as this is definately the best scope for a 6.5 for all around math free easy shooting.
