I’m a fan of prism-style optics. The first scope I spent a lot of time behind was a Trijicon ACOG during my service. I loved the ACOG and the simple reticle system that makes it easy to land hits at ranges ranging from seven to 500 yards. I’ve kept that love of prisms, but spending over a grand on an ACOG isn’t for me. Luckily, Primary Arms makes a variety of prisms, including the micro-sized SLX 3X Micro-Prism.
Primary Arms doesn’t use the term MicroPrism lightly. It’s the same size as compact red dots like the Aimpoint T-2. These micro-sized prisms weigh a mere eight ounces. That’s quite light for an optic offering you 3X magnification. Prism sights are rarely this small, and this light is for this level of magnification. I threw it on my PA-15 and developed synergy and smart ammo savings by simultaneously testing both.
Primary Arms makes a ton of different reticle options, and the MicroPrism gets that treatment. We have BDC reticles for 5.56/.308, 7.62×39/.300 BO, and a standard Mil reticle. The reticles are all etched and illuminated. Users can pick between green and red illumination settings.
