It is 3.31 in (84 mm) long, weighs 8.5 oz (241 g), adjusts in 0.25 MOA clicks with 50 MOA of windage and elevation travel, 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\u003eFive times magnification is the top of the MicroPrism range, and it turns a compact prism into a genuine mid-range optic. The ACSS Aurora MIL reticle carries a full milliradian grid for ranging, elevation holds and wind holds, which means it works with any cartridge you have MIL data for rather than being tied to one load. And because the reticle is etched into the glass rather than projected as an LED, shooters with astigmatism see it sharply where a red dot would appear smeared or doubled — with the added benefit that the reticle still works with the illumination off or the battery flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the most magnified prism in the range and the only one with a full MIL grid.

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 Aurora MIL reticle calibrated for?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ACSS Aurora MIL 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat does the ACSS Aurora MIL reticle actually do?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ACSS Aurora MIL provides a full milliradian grid, which lets you estimate range from a target of known size, hold over the correct number of milliradians for bullet drop, and hold off for wind, all without dialling a turret.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes the Primary Arms SLx 5X MicroPrism work if the battery dies?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The reticle is etched into the glass rather than projected, so it remains fully visible and usable with the illumination switched off or the battery flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat mount does the SLx 5X MicroPrism need?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SLx 5X MicroPrism ships with its own modular mounting system offering 8 height options on the mini-prism footprint, so no separate mount needs to be bought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShould I choose the 5X or the 3X MicroPrism?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose the 5X MicroPrism for more magnification at mid range and a milliradian grid that suits any cartridge, and choose the 3X MicroPrism for a wider field of view, faster close-range handling and a ballistic reticle calibrated for 5.56 and .308.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primary Arms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58434901672280,"sku":"PA-SLX-5XMP-AUR-MIL","price":429.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/2005\/3592\/files\/primary-arms-slx-5x-microprism-acss-aurora-mil-1.jpg?v=1789007614","url":"https:\/\/opticstrader.co.uk\/products\/primary-arms-slx-5x-microprism-acss-aurora-mil","provider":"Optics Trader","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
