Most Helpful Positive Review Primary Arms 5x36 Review
I have several red dots on a variety of pistols and rifles and I was planning to do the same thing on my new Tavor x95 556. I am so glad I tried the PA 5X36 because it is a very impressive and very high-quality product, perfect for the AR platform. Having the extra magnification is great and the ret...

Most Helpful Negative Review Seems well built,....BUT
This has (for me at least) a very short eye relief. Also, the reticle is tiny, barely visible. Wouldn't recommend this product.

good prism scope for the money

by Caeleb, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on January 16, 2025
Great buy for the money just a little larger than expected and not the best FOV for a prism that size.
Pros:
  • qualities, quality and price
Cons:
  • FOV is not the best
  • large for the class of optic
Would recommend: Yes

Great optic.

by Cruz, Verified Owner from OK, United States Written on January 2, 2025
Wasn't sure what to expect having never shot a prisim optic. Glass is clear. Reticle is easy to see. Lighting is more than adequate. Eye relief is pretty good as well. Feels well constructed and works well in the time I've spent with it.
Pros:
  • good quality
  • Clear
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Primary Arms 5x prism scope

by Sniper, Verified Owner from SC, United States Written on October 1, 2024
I already have a black one for my Scar 16 and loved it for being so precise, was able to make head size hit at 200 yards. This one will go on a PSA mk 12 mod s. It is better than an Acog since it has a diopter to focus the acss reticle for precision and old eyes. Quick delivery and great service from Optics Planet.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • None

Great value for functional optic

by Road Runner, from WV, United States Written on September 8, 2024
For the sale price, it’s a nice optic. Easily installed and even easier to get on target. The weight makes it seem durable. FDE is fantastic. Eye relief is reasonable for a prism optic. Give it a try if you’re looking for some magnification at a good price.

Good glass, bad lights

by JD, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on August 22, 2024
Dont get me wrong, the glass is great: very clear and distortion free. Great field of view. The reticle is fantastic and has held zero easily about 3 moa at 100yrd for several hundred rounds. The only issue has been the green/red led coming completely loose and not working. Its not THAT big of a deal since the reticle is etched, but its annoying when the small reticle blends easily with the target at range. The LED settings were good and very bright at first, but broke at some point. Now the entire battery mount is loose and non functional.

If i were to have the choice, I'd have bought the smaller/newer 5x instead of this one. There's a reason its on sale.
Pros:
  • field of view
  • etched reticle
  • clear optics
  • Holds zero
Cons:
  • delicate battery compartment
  • larger
Best Used for:
  • Weekend
Would recommend: No

ACSS reticle

by Dave, Verified Owner from WV, United States Written on August 10, 2024
Clear optics and very sturdy. Love the ACSS reticle. This is the second one of these I've purchased. The illumination settings knob is very tight, maybe too tight, but better than sloppy.
Pros:
  • ACSS Reticle
Cons:
  • Heavy
Would recommend: Yes

Pros:
  • Price, quality
Cons:

  • all around uses
