More from this brandAll Primary Arms rifle scopesOverview
A 1-8x24 first-focal-plane rifle scope with a Red Dot Bright illuminated ACSS Raptor 5.56/.308 Yard G2 reticle, built for shooters who want close-range speed and extended holdover reference in one compact optic.
The AutoLive feature activates the illuminated reticle automatically on movement and powers down when still, addressing battery life without requiring the shooter to manage illumination manually. Built with Japanese ED glass rather than standard glass, it's positioned as a step up in light transmission and clarity within Primary Arms' compact scope line. As with the SLX model, the ACSS Raptor holdovers are calibrated specifically for 5.56 and .308 cartridges.
- 1-8x24 first focal plane magnification
- ACSS Raptor 5.56/.308 Yard G2 illuminated reticle
- 100 MOA total elevation and windage travel
- Includes quick-swap dovetail throw lever
Who it's for
Suited to 5.56 or .308 shooters who want a low-power variable optic that performs like a red dot up close at 1x and adds precision holdover data at higher magnification. Less relevant to shooters using other calibers or those who only need a fixed 1x red dot.
Pros and cons
- 1x setting functions like a fast-acquisition red dot
- Japanese ED glass for light transmission and clarity
- AutoLive motion-sensing illumination conserves battery
- Compact and light at 9.28 inches and 16.95 oz
- Holdovers calibrated only for 5.56 and .308
- Eye relief is a somewhat tight 3.2 to 3.7 inches
Performance notes
The FFP ACSS Raptor 5.56/.308 Yard G2 reticle provides BDC holdovers, wind holds, moving-target leads and ranging stadia across the full 1-8x range, adjustable in 0.1 MIL clicks with 100 MOA of total elevation and windage travel. Japanese ED glass and full multi-coating are used across the range, giving a 121 ft field of view at 100 yards at 1x. The Red Dot Bright diffractive reticle uses AutoLive motion sensing to illuminate on movement and power down when idle, and a dovetail throw lever speeds magnification changes.
