Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Primary Arms 1-8x Platinum scope suitable for both combat and competition?

It combines the speed of ACSS for rapid target acquisition with a full MIL grid for precise long-range holdovers. Its First Focal Plane design ensures reticle accuracy at all magnifications, and it has passed extreme durability tests.

How does the ACSS Griffin reticle differ from the ACSS Raptor M2?

The ACSS Griffin reticle was designed to add a full MIL grid for precision shooting and competition, while retaining the ACSS system's speed for combat. The Raptor M2 was great for combat but lacked the MIL grid for exact holdovers.

What are the key benefits of the First Focal Plane (FFP) design in this scope?

An FFP scope means the reticle and its markings (like the MIL grid) scale with the magnification. This ensures that range estimations and holdovers calculated at any power setting remain accurate from 1x to 8x.

How durable is the Primary Arms 1-8x Platinum scope?

The scope has undergone extreme testing, including being baked at 265°F and frozen in a chest freezer for days. It maintained its zero and point of impact through these thermal stress tests, demonstrating high durability.
