It is 2.95 in (75 mm) long, weighs under 7.95 oz (225 g), adjusts in 1\/4 MOA clicks with 80 MOA of windage and elevation travel, gives a 38 ft field of view at 100 yards (12.7 m at 100 m), and runs up to 29,000 hours on a CR2032 cell across 13 brightness settings, three of which are night-vision compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA prism scope solves a problem a red dot cannot. In a red dot the aiming point is a projected LED, and an eye with astigmatism sees that point of light smeared, flared or doubled — which is why some shooters never get on with red dots and assume the fault is theirs. In a prism scope the reticle is physically etched into the glass and viewed through the optic's own focusing system, so it is resolved by the same corrected optical path as the target. If red dots have always looked like a comet to you, this is the class of optic to try.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe etched reticle also stays fully usable with the illumination switched off or the battery flat, which no red dot can claim, and AutoLive motion sensing keeps the cell alive by shutting illumination down when the rifle is still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the red-illuminated black 3X.

A prism scope's reticle is etched into the glass and viewed through the optic's own focusing system, so it is resolved by the same corrected optical path as the target, whereas a red dot projects an LED that an astigmatic eye commonly sees as a smear, flare or double image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhich calibre is the ACSS Raptor 5.56\/.308 Yard reticle calibrated for?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ACSS Raptor 5.56\/.308 Yard reticle is calibrated for both 5.56 and .308, and its ranging and holdover marks are laid out in yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat does the ACSS Raptor reticle actually do?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ACSS Raptor combines a precise centre chevron with bullet drop holdovers so you aim off rather than dial for distance, ranging stadia that estimate the distance to a target of known size, moving-target leads, and wind holds either side of centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes the Primary Arms SLx 3X MicroPrism work if the battery dies?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
