You're the man! Why has it taken so long for someone to think of such a simple yet, amazingly practical reticle? Now, I'm not saying designing it was simple I'm saying it's not a complicated reticle.

Very cool man. Can't wait to see what other reticles & scopes you will have for us this year.

Finally got this thing out to the range! Super fun to use! Thanks again!

I love these optics, so far I have the 1-6x gen3 on a 6.5 Grendel and the 3x prism on a 7.62x39 AR. Thanks Dimitri

What's up Dimitri! Looking forward to the new products this year. Got my eyes on that Apollo Creed!

Great explanation and visual references. Thank you. I love my Prism.

Good stuff as usual Dimitri!

This is stellar. The big guys and their exorbitant optics should take note.

I like the ranging on the right side better like the pre iojs acss good job

Thank you. Very cool . ready to try it out!

Outstanding, simply outstanding Sir. Still wondering when the METER based ACSS 4X ACOG!!! How about hitting up Trijicon for an ACSS reticle on the VCOG? Now THAT would be the shit!

Please do a live stream so our hundreds of questions can be answered.

Till this day//// still my go-to very very accurate!!!!

Great stuff, can't wait to get my hands on one, please make more simulation videos

I want that one. When I built my Spikes Tactical 223/5.56 AR I was running low on funds and bought Primary Arms' first Gen 1-6x w/ ACSS reticle. Then the expensive $1200 or $1300 1-8x came out which I wanted but couldn't and last year you guys release a 1-6x and a 1-8x with the new chevron instead of the dot which made me mad cuz there was a cheaper 1-8x out and now here's a more simplified version of the ACSS w/out the range finder on the right side. I've almost everything I've ever bought for ARs which is more than 2 but less than 10 I bought from Primary Arms and got my coworker and dad ordering from there. I alone have probably spent $6000-$8000 ordering from there. Figures no new I'm better stuff is coming out I can't afford any new toys. I really want a 1-8x ACSS Raptor scope. 😭

Trying to pick my first scope is a difficult thing. I keep coming back to the PA 1-8 accs then the raptor pops up making me second guess my choice. I want to buy one scope and not have any buyers remorse later on. Your friends are lucky they can try out all your cool stuff first. Thank you for the video.

This is very helpful.

I was looking for a scope for my newest build, a 458 Socom and I came across something that I hope you could confirm. ACCORDING to STRELOK, this scope could be used for the 458 socom. Using a zero of about 120 yards for lighter loads, the bottom line for 600 yards .556/.308 comes close to 300 yards. The wind dots are closer to 4 & 8mph rather than 5 & 10 mph. Also, the hash marks for 400, 500, 600 can be used for ranging but instead of 18 inches, it is equivalent to 9 inches. 9 inches is still usable for ranging, just use centerline (zipper, belt buckle, etc) to the outside.

This helps alot

For the 5.56 is there and ideal bullet weight and velocity this was calibrated with?

Wow this is a perfect and simple reticle!!!! Any plans on putting it in the 5x prism???Love that chevron!!!!

Release this already So I can buy!!!

Raptor is on my “buy list.” Just received my PA 4-14 ACSS scope for an SBR build. Raptor will go a 12.5” to 13.7” carbine.

I put a Raptor on a 13.7" carbine I built. Love the optic, but haven't had a chance to field test yet going between 100-600, back again and all over yet. According to Strelok Pro, 1" high at 100 should make everything line up super nice with 55gr FMJ. Gonna have to test with some M193 and some 75gr HPBT handloads to see how they line up, but Strelok has always done me right and gets me on target out to 1200 yards with other rifles.

Would you zero an inch high at a 100 yrds.for the 6.5 Grendel also?.Want to see this for .224 valkyrie.

How about range estimating from 100-200yds?

Do 308 and 556 really drop the same or are there different versions for each caliber.?

quick question and I apologize if I missed something: at 2:30, you say "this target is BIGGER than the Chevron", but it looks like the (width of) the target is slightly SMALLER than the Chevron (?). Everything else makes sense, assuming that was a verbal typo. It makes total sense that since the Chevron width corresponds to 300 yards and if the target is smaller than that Chevron width, then it would, in fact, be past 300 yards. I hesitate to ask this question, as it seems like I have missed something, but any clarification you could provide on this point would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

what’s the BDC for a 10.5” 5.56?

about the 308...is the point of aim 1inch higher at 100 or point of impact?

Does it have a leads for walking targets?

I wouldn't mind a " notify me" option on the website for this one, Dimitri.

Is the entire reticle illuminated?

The eyebox on the 1-8 version, will it be as tight as the current one, or will it be a little more forgiving?

Between the two discounted mounts offered, deluxe AR15 & deluxe extended AR15 Which scope mount would you recommend for 556 Raptor?

When using this scope for 6.5 grendel is it best to set up as 5.56 or 308 with 1” high at 100 yards? And can all 308 scopes be used with a Grendel?

I see these now with range brackets on the left and right of the horse shoe. Are those belt to head or foot to head? Sorry I dont know the technical terms for the man size target designations.

Goddamn this thing is beast

I’m actually debating on a few options of your scopes right now for my 20” 6.5 grendel, so my ears perked up when you said it lighted up well with that round. Where would I zero my 6.5G for this option to be “combat” effective?

Love this reticle, IDK why all the higher end FFP LPVO options you offer have super busy reticles. You only offer one, 1-6 SLX and I like it, but I want a GLX or PLX 1-6, 1-8, and 1-10

Very nice! What Optic models will this be available in?

One question. You have 5 and 10 mph hold offs, but only one set of dots at the 400 yrd. cross. I am assuming the dots are for 10 mph, and the ends of the hashmark are for 5 mph? Thanks.

Primary Arms, LLC No big deal. Easy to overlook, and pretty easy to figure out, looking at the reticle logically. I just wanted to confirm. Thanks. Oh, and nice design. I really appreciate all the work you are doing to bring some awsome reticles and products to us. Keep it up. We are thankful.

If I only have a 25 yard range to zero on, where should my poi be to achieve my proper 100 yard zero?

Best distance to zero? What is my point of aim point of impact distance using my 300 yard line aim point to get on paper to then later confirm at 100 yards?

Cool so we should expect this reticle to start being integrated with ACOG's in the near future?

Is this the best ACSS rendition, or just equally as good?

Will this be coming out in the 250- 350 dollar range as well

What specific bullet weight/load for 5.56 was used for the bdc? I recently attended a class shooting out to 650 yds shooting 55gr ball. Obviously not the best long range round but nevertheless the bdc was way off for that bullet weight. I was holding way off into space at the bottom of the scope at 575 and not able to hit anything past 525. Could have been the ammo but even at 300 I had to hold higher than the bdc indicated. Btw I’m shooting a 16” BCM mid length. Shot the instructors 14.5 BCM shooting 77gr OTM and was getting 1st round hits at 650 with his dope on a mil reticle with a wind hold. Anybody else run into this?

I'll be listing the MOA of the Raptor Ret here in a few days when I figure it out. Why Dimitri didnt include those figures.. IDK... He did say a target from the bottom of the chevron to the bottom line is 500 yards away...so I am ass-u-ming that is based on a 5 foot 10 object, so 70 inches at 500 yards, and from the top of the vert line to the bottom is 600 yards..again ass-u-ming 70 inches at 600 means the vert line is a MOA of 35 so 5.8 MOA at 100 yards.

How good will thjis scope do with a 6.5 Creedmore>

SO the 200 mark would be the 50 yard mark as well ? Just wonder if I sight in at 50 at that point with 308 if the rest would be on.

It was stated in this video that the donut portion of the reticle is etched, so it will always be red despite possibly despite having a dead battery. For mine, that is certainly is not the case. Are there other models of this scope that I may not know about?

@nativewarrior5052

2 жыл бұрын

The reticle being laser etched, means that the reticle will ALWAYS be there, and doesn't rely on batteries to function like a holographic sight or red dot. The ILLUMINATION makes the reticle red and runs on a battery, but the optic doesn't need illumination to have a visible reticle. I only use my illumination in low light situations.

on the 3x micro prism, with the raptor 5.56 yards reticle, how many MOA is the bottom of the chevron? based on my calculations, if the 300 yard hold over is also 18" @ 300 yards, then that would equate to the bottom of the chevron( from left tip to right tip) would be approx. 6 MOA.

If ya'll could release a version of the ACSS that lets you range estimate a target closer than 400 that is also FFP I would throw my money at you, I'm buying this one for now but im not super focused on targets that are +400 yards out

What power are you on when your measuring the distance on the retical?

@SirSyllabi

4 жыл бұрын

I believe with a FFP scope you should be able to measure on any power. Thats the benefit of it over a SFP scope. As the target grows when you dial up the magnification, as does the retical, ensuring the retical to always be a true representation and available to measure.

So does this optic lose the height based ranger on the right hand side of the tube?

@arguywindham1101

NVM I see that's been answered. Just had to finish the video lol

The only range by me is 50 yards max(using an ar15, 16” barrel). I zero’ed the tip of the chevron at 50 yards, how does that equate at you get to longer distances? Yes, I’m terrible at math haha.

Will yall do a 300 blk video,

So let’s say you put the tip of the chevron on say a 50 yard target an zero it at 50 would that messup the rest of the bullet drops? Is the best way to zero at 100 yards with the tip of the chevron? Problem is I don’t have a hundred yard range I only have 50 yards 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes the BDC Tree will be off because its calibrated to 100yards. There are several graphs which show the basic velocity and trajectories of 55gr and 62gr for various zeros. Use those to gues-i-mate your BDC if zeroing outside of 100yds.

If you would make this optic with the Orion reticle I'd buy it in a heartbeat

which 556 is this set for? 55gr 62 gr 77 otm?

On the range estimates, do you estimate those at the maximum zoom in, or at the 1 power setting?

The velocity matters the most, so yes (basically). The error would be greatest at longer ranges, but wind, skill and bullet quality will be a greater factor then the error produced by the difference between .223 rem and 5.56x45.

For longer shots (50-100yds), you can choose a different magnification or whatever works for you, but out closer to 100 yards, use the point of the chevron (if it’s sighted at 100yds). In closer (25-50yds), use the height over the bore to make an estimation. But we’re talking about fractions of an inch. You’ll need to adjust if you’re using a different sight in like 50-200, but this is a ranging reticle, not a precision reticle (although, in the right hands, it’s plenty precise).
