The Primary Arms SLx 3X MicroPrism does something a red dot can't: because its ACSS Raptor reticle is etched into the glass, it stays crisp and fully usable even with the illumination off — making it a favourite for shooters with astigmatism, who often see red dots as a smear. At under 8 oz and under 3 inches, this compact fixed-3× prism adds real magnification and a ballistic reticle without the bulk of an LPVO.
The ACSS Raptor 5.56/.308 Yard reticle packs in bullet-drop holdovers, ranging, wind holds and a precise centre chevron. Red illumination spans 13 settings (3 night-vision compatible) with AutoLive motion-sensing to preserve battery, and it ships with a ruggedised mount offering 8 height options. In stock for fast UK dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a prism over a red dot?
The reticle is etched into the glass rather than projected, so it stays sharp even without illumination — a big advantage for shooters with astigmatism, who often see red dots as a smudge.
What is the ACSS Raptor reticle?
A purpose-built reticle with bullet-drop holdovers, ranging, moving-target leads and wind holds for 5.56 and .308, plus a precise centre chevron.
What magnification is it?
A fixed 3× — more reach and precision than a 1× dot, while staying far more compact than an LPVO.
How is the battery managed?
A CR2032 cell with AutoLive motion-sensing illumination, rated up to ~29,000 hours on a medium setting.
How does it mount?
On the industry-standard mini-prism footprint, and it ships with a ruggedised mount offering 8 height options.
