This guide details the process of zeroing and verifying the ballistics of the Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS Gen 2 LPVO on an AR-15. It emphasizes the importance of zeroing at 6x magnification for SFP scopes and using specific ammunition data for accurate BDC performance. The instruction comes from an expert with practical field testing experience.

Quick Summary

The Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS Gen 2 LPVO requires zeroing at 6x magnification due to its Second Focal Plane (SFP) design. Using specific ballistics data, such as 77gr SMK at 2700fps with a 50-yard zero, allows for accurate use of the ACSS BDC reticle at extended ranges like 200-300 yards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you properly zero the Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS Gen 2 scope?

For the Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS Gen 2, which is a Second Focal Plane (SFP) scope, you must zero it at 6x magnification. Use your intended ammunition (like 77gr SMK at 2700fps) and establish a 50-yard zero, then verify BDC accuracy at longer ranges like 200-300 yards.

What are the key specifications of the Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS Gen 2?

The Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS Gen 2 features 1-6x magnification, an ACSS reticle, and is a Second Focal Plane (SFP) optic. It weighs 17 oz and uses a CR2032 battery with a life of less than 100 hours. Illumination settings range from 0-11.

How does the Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS Gen 2 compare to a red dot sight at close range?

At 1x magnification, a red dot sight offers faster target acquisition than the Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS Gen 2 LPVO. A timed drill showed a 28% speed advantage for the red dot, though the LPVO is still considered usable for rapid fire.

What are the pros and cons of the Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS Gen 2?

Pros include its unique 1-6x magnification at its price point, good feature set, and decent glass. Cons are that the illumination is not daylight bright, and it has some edge distortion. It's a solid upgrade from 1-4x scopes.
