Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the Holosun AMS and the Primary Arms 1X Prism optic?

The Primary Arms 1X Prism features a large, donut-style reticle that some shooters find excessive. The Holosun AMS, while having a smaller objective window than the 510C, is noted for its potentially advantageous mounting height and is favored by some shooters over other models.

Why did Ben Stoeger dislike the Primary Arms 1X Prism optic?

Ben Stoeger found the reticle on the Primary Arms 1X Prism to be 'ginormous' and a 'half donut,' stating it was 'too much' red and interfered with his aiming preference, leading him to seek an alternative.

What positive feedback has the Holosun AMS received?

According to Ben Stoeger, other shooters like Matt Prank and Joel Park have reported positive experiences with the Holosun AMS. They suggest it performs better than the Holosun 510C, with a particular emphasis on its mounting height being a desirable feature.

Is the objective window size important for rifle optics like the Holosun AMS?

While the Holosun AMS has a smaller objective window compared to the Holosun 510C, it's considered acceptable if the optic is otherwise functional. The 510C's large window is noted as potentially being larger than necessary, suggesting size isn't the sole determinant of performance.
