Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the Primary Arms 1-6x and 1-8x SFP ACSS scopes?

The 1-8x offers a more 'true' 1x magnification and better low-light clarity, while the 1-6x is more affordable and has a more forgiving eye box, making it easier to use from awkward positions. Both feature the ACSS reticle with BDC and ranging capabilities.

How does the ACSS reticle aid in aiming?

The ACSS reticle features auto-ranging stadia for quick distance estimation based on target size and includes ballistic drop compensation (BDC) for common calibers like 5.56/.308 out to 800 yards, plus wind holds and moving target leads.

What are the physical specifications of these Primary Arms scopes?

Both scopes use 30mm tubes and CR2032 batteries. The 1-8x weighs 16 oz and has capped 1/2 MOA turrets, while the 1-6x weighs 17.5 oz and also features 1/2 MOA capped turrets. Both have 11 illumination settings.

Which Primary Arms scope is better for long-range shooting?

The 1-8x scope is generally considered better for long-range clarity and precision due to its higher magnification range and potentially clearer optical path at higher powers, though both utilize the ACSS system for extended range aiming.
