The Primary Arms SLx 5X MicroPrism is a compact 5x magnification prism sight, part of the acclaimed SLx line, which has earned a reputation for reliability, innovation, and value. During field testing, the Primary Arms optic was tested on the SCAR 17 .308 Win, firing more than 7,000 unstacked rounds of ammunition for sighting. The Primary Arms SLx 3x utilizes an improved ACSS Aurora 5.56/.308 metric sight reticle etched on high-quality, low-dispersion glass and a reinforced mounting base to ensure rigidity and reliability. The Primary Arms SLx 5x is a prismatic sight with high magnification up to 5x, allowing for easy target recognition at longer distances as well as quick, two-eye acquisition of close-range targets. Many shooters face the problem of astigmatism, a visual impairment that causes blurry/distorted aiming points when using a collimator. This makes aiming difficult, especially at small, distant targets. This problem can be solved by replacing the collimator with a much more expensive holographic sight, a running scope, or a prismatic sight, which is breaking records of popularity behind Big Water. Unlike collimators, magnified prismatic sights have a BDC view, a much clearer image without parallax error. They also offer greater precision when shooting at longer distances, while allowing biocular aiming while maintaining full situational awareness.
The sight features a sealed aluminum housing with IP67 protection, ensuring resistance to fog, rain, and shock. The sight features a large exit pupil and a large eyepiece, allowing for quick folding without having to maintain the correct optical axis. This allows the Primary Arms SLx 5X prism sight to offer a wide field of view, making it ideal for dynamic shooting at moving targets where we don't always have time to properly position ourselves. The author's ACSS Aurora 5.56/.308 reticle is etched into the glass, making it visible regardless of the time of day, even without backlighting. A metric scale is located below the target mark to help estimate the distance to the target and fire at different distances. The target mark has a red backlight (horseshoe and chevron) with 13 daytime settings and three night vision settings. The AutoLive motion sensor provides extended battery life—up to 29,000 cycles at average brightness. After prolonged movement, AutoLive automatically deactivates the sight illumination, which is immediately restored when the weapon is moved. The ACSS Aurrora is an innovative BDC sighting grid consisting of an illuminated chevron with herringbone gradation, two thick dots, and clear windage gradations. This extensive functionality allows the shooter to quickly and instinctively make elevation adjustments, adjust for windage, and calculate distance to the target. The ACSS Aurrora grid is an intuitive grid well-suited for dynamic shooting at close ranges and precise shooting at long distances. The ACSS Aurrora reticle is a multifunctional yet user-friendly sighting system, whose advantages have been appreciated by novice and experienced shooters around the world. The Primary Arms SLx 5X MicroPrism features a solid aluminum construction with key steel elements, ensuring a stable and reliable grip from zero. We can purchase additional heights for the visor so that the visor can be adjusted to the appropriate height in up to 8 combinations.
