The Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x24 FFP Rifle Scope with the ACSS Griffin MIL G2 reticle in Flat Dark Earth (part number 610224, SKU PA-PLXC-1-8X24F-RDB-GRIF-MIL-G2-FDE) is a 1-8x magnification, 24 mm objective low-power variable optic on a 30 mm tube, made in Japan around premium Japanese ED glass, with a first focal plane (FFP) ACSS Griffin MIL G2 reticle, Red Dot Bright diffractive illumination and AutoLive motion sensing. It is 9.28 in (236 mm) long, weighs 16.95 oz (481 g), and adjusts in 0.1 MIL clicks with 100 MOA of travel through Steel-On-Steel turrets.
This is the flagship compact LPVO in a Flat Dark Earth finish, for a rifle built around tan or coyote furniture. Nothing optical or mechanical changes: the same Japanese ED glass, the same Steel-On-Steel turrets, and the same first-focal-plane Griffin MIL G2 reticle whose horseshoe and chevron work at 1x while its milliradian grid measures correctly at every power.
How It Compares
This is the Flat Dark Earth flagship. The same scope in black with the ACSS Griffin MIL G2 reticle is identical but for the finish. For ready-made holdovers for a specific cartridge, the PLxC 1-8x24 FFP in Flat Dark Earth with the ACSS Raptor 5.56/.308 Yard G2 reticle is calibrated for 5.56 and .308. For a second-focal-plane version in the same finish, see the PLxC 1-8x24 SFP in Flat Dark Earth with the ACSS Nova reticle, and for more magnification the PLxC 1.5-12x36 with the ACSS Griffin MIL reticle. A 30 mm mount is required, such as the Primary Arms PLx 30 mm cantilever mount. Browse the Primary Arms LPVO range and read our guide to MRAD versus MOA.

- Straight-pull AR-platform rifles in Great Britain where glass quality decides target identification
- Target and gallery rifle shooters who work in milliradians and dial rather than guess

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the ACSS Griffin MIL G2 reticle do?
The ACSS Griffin MIL G2 combines a bold horseshoe and chevron for fast aiming at close range with a full milliradian grid and ranging stadia, so it supports range estimation, bullet drop holdovers and wind holds without the shooter leaving the sight picture.
Which calibre is the ACSS Griffin MIL G2 calibrated for?
The ACSS Griffin MIL G2 is a milliradian-based reticle rather than a calibre-specific bullet drop compensator, so its grid is stated in MIL and works with any cartridge once you know your own drops in MIL.
What does AutoLive do on this scope?
AutoLive is Primary Arms' motion-sensing system, which switches the illumination off when the rifle has been still for a period and brings it back the instant the rifle is moved, preserving battery life without the shooter having to remember to turn the scope off.
Is the Flat Dark Earth version optically different from the black one?
No. The Flat Dark Earth Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x24 FFP has the same Japanese ED glass, Steel-On-Steel turrets and ACSS Griffin MIL G2 reticle as the black version, and only the exterior finish differs.
What does first focal plane mean, and why does it matter here?
First focal plane means the reticle grows and shrinks with the image as magnification changes, so the milliradian grid measures correctly at every power rather than at one stated magnification only.
What mount does this scope need?
The Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x24 FFP has a 30 mm tube, so it requires 30 mm rings or a 30 mm cantilever mount, which is not included.
