The Primary Arms 1X Compact Prism Scope with ACSS Cyclops reticle excels where the limitations of a red dot start to show. It features a permanently etched reticle while retaining the speed and ease of use of a red dot. Every shooter will see a crisp, defined reticle when they look through the glass - even those with astigmatism. And a diopter ring on the ocular end ensures that the reticle will be perfectly in focus for your eyesight. The illuminated ACSS reticle design is more precise than what is possible with reflected LED emitter technology and has 11 brightness settings up to daylight bright. At a medium power, the cyclops will run continuously for 3,000 hours. But even if you do lose power, unlike a red dot the Cyclops's etched reticle still shows up in black. Shooting in a bright environment, the black reticle can be more useful than an illuminated one to pick up a high-contrast point of aim, giving you more utility in a larger number of situations.
ACSS stands for Advanced Combined Sighting System, and it's the smartest reticle system in the industry. To be as effective in CQB applications as red dots are, the reticle must have a simple and intuitive point of aim. The Cyclops achieves this by utilizing a CQB Horseshoe and Chevron arrangement. While perfect for targets up close, the ACSS Cyclops also has BDC, enabling you to accurately score on targets out to 400 yards without having to do complicated math calculations.
The 1X Compact Prism Scope's included Picatinny rail mount is removable, and the scope body is compatible with industry standard microdot mounts. With a lifetime warranty that not only covers manufacturer's defects but normal user wear and tear, you can buy with confidence.
