The Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x24 LPVO Rifle Scope in Flat Dark Earth (part number 610203, SKU PA-PLXC-1-8X24S-NOVA-FDE) is a 1-8x magnification, 24 mm objective low-power variable optic on a 30 mm tube, with a second focal plane (SFP) ACSS Nova fiber-wire reticle and daylight-bright illumination, finished in Flat Dark Earth. It is 9.28 in (236 mm) long, weighs 16.95 oz (481 g), adjusts in 0.1 MIL clicks with 120 MOA of windage and elevation travel, and has fixed parallax.
Mechanically and optically this is identical to the black PLxC; the difference is the anodised finish. Flat Dark Earth matches tan handguards, stocks and grips, and on a rifle built around coyote furniture it completes the look rather than interrupting it. The compact PLx Compact body still gives an eight-times zoom range in less length and weight than most 1-6x scopes.
How it compares
This is the Flat Dark Earth second-focal-plane Nova version. The identical scope in black with the ACSS Nova reticle is the same optic in a black finish. For first-focal-plane reticles that stay true to scale at every power, see the PLxC 1-8x24 FFP in Flat Dark Earth with the ACSS Raptor 5.56/.308 Yard G2 reticle or the PLxC 1-8x24 FFP in Flat Dark Earth with the ACSS Griffin MIL G2 reticle. For a lower-cost 1-6x in the same finish, see the SLx 1-6x24 Gen IV in Flat Dark Earth. Browse the Primary Arms LPVO range and all LPVO rifle scopes.
Ideal for
- Civilian Service Rifle and practical rifle builds finished in tan or coyote
- Practical shotgun and 3-Gun, where 1x speed matters more than reticle scaling
- Straight-pull AR-platform rifles in Great Britain wanting premium glass in a compact body
- Deer stalking and vermin control over dry grass, where FDE is less conspicuous than black

What does the ACSS Nova reticle actually do?
The ACSS Nova is a fiber-wire reticle with a daylight-bright illuminated centre surrounded by MIL-based subtensions, which let you range a target of known size, hold over for bullet drop instead of dialling the turret, and hold off for wind and for moving-target leads without taking your eye from the sight.
Which calibre is the ACSS Nova reticle calibrated for?
The ACSS Nova is a milliradian-based reticle rather than a calibre-specific bullet drop compensator, so its subtensions are stated in MIL and work with any cartridge once you know your own drops in MIL.
Is the Flat Dark Earth PLxC optically different from the black one?
No. The Flat Dark Earth Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x24 has the same optical and mechanical specification as the black version, and only the anodised exterior finish differs.
What does second focal plane mean on this 1-8x scope?
Second focal plane means the reticle stays the same visual size as you change magnification, so the ACSS Nova remains large and easy to see at 1x for close work, while its MIL subtensions are only correct at one stated magnification.
What mount does the Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x24 need?
The Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x24 has a 30 mm tube, so it requires 30 mm rings or a 30 mm cantilever mount. No mount is included with the scope.
Does this scope have adjustable parallax?
No. The Primary Arms PLxC 1-8x24 has fixed parallax, so there is no side parallax knob to set and nothing to adjust between targets at different distances.
