SLx prismatic sights combine the speed of target entry with a collimator, the precision of an optical sight and compact size, which is why they are a popular choice not only for astigmatists, but also for shooters looking for a versatile sight for short and medium range shooting.
The American brand Primary Arms, famous for its high-quality optical sights, collimators, prismatic sights and shooting accessories, has taken the American market by storm, offering products with great value for money. Most of the brand's products come with a lifetime warranty, which emphatically emphasizes confidence in the products offered. Primary Arms is also famous for its proprietary ACSS target reticle, thanks to which novice shooters can improve their shooting skills in no time.

ThePrimary Arms SLx 1X MicroPrism ACSS Cyclops is a compact prismatic sight with a true 1× magnification belonging to the highly regarded Slx line, which owes its reputation for reliability, innovation and excellent value for money. During field tests, Primary Arms optics were tested on SCAR 17 .308 Win, with more than 7,000 rounds of ammunition fired without harming the sights.
The Primary Arms SLx 1x features an improved ACSS 5.56 sight reticle etched on premium low dispersion glass, AutoLive illumination activation system, and a reinforced mounting base to ensure rigidity and reliability of attachment to the weapon.
The Primary Arms SLx 1x is a prismatic sight with a true 1× magnification, which is great for fast shooting with both eyes on targets at close range. Many shooters face the problem of astigmatism, an ocular affliction that causes the aiming point to become blurred/distorted, etc., when using a collimator. This makes it difficult to aim especially at small, far away targets. This problem can be solved by replacing the collimator, with a much more expensive holographic sight, a running scope or a prismatic sight, which is breaking records of popularity overseas.
Primary Arms SLx 1X MicroPrism - a prismatic sight with a real magnification of 1× is an ideal solution for any astigmatist
Unlike collimators, prismatic sights have a BDC sighting reticle, a much clearer image devoid of parallax error. They also provide greater precision when shooting at longer distances, while allowing binaural aiming with situational awareness.
The viewfinder has a sealed aluminum body with IP67 protection standard, providing resistance to fog, rain and shock. The viewfinder has a 10.3mm exit pupil and a generous eyebox, which allows for quick folding without the need to maintain the correct optical axis. As a result, the Primary Arms SLx 1X prismatic sight provides a wide field of view and is wonderfully suited for dynamic shooting at moving targets, where we don't always have time to properly fold in for a shot. The proprietary ACSS Cyclops Gen II 5.56 / .308 reticle has been etched on the glass, so it is visible regardless of the time of day even without the use of a backlight. Under the target mark is a graduation for measuring the distance to the target. The aiming mark has red illumination (horseshoe and chevron) with 13 daytime settings and three settings for night vision. The use of the AutoLive motion sensor provides extended battery life - up to 29,000 on a medium brightness setting. After prolonged immobility, AutoLive automatically turns off the illumination of the sight, which is immediately restored when the weapon is moved.
The ACSS Cyclops Gen II is Primary Arms' proprietary reticle scaled to the ballistics of 5.56/ .308/ 7.62×39/ .300 Blackout SUB ammunition. The ACSS Cyclops Gen II reticle has a thinner chevron (inverted V) in the center surrounded by a thicker horseshoe. Underneath the chevron is a graduation scale for applying precipitation corrections and estimating the distance to the target. The result is an intuitive reticle that is great for dynamic shooting at short range and precision shooting at medium range. ACSS is a remarkably simple yet functional sighting system, the benefits of which have been appreciated by beginners and experienced shooters around the world.
Primary Arms SLx 1X MicroPrism has a solid aluminum mount with key steel components, which guarantees a stable and reliable zero hold. It comes with 2 elevations (Absolute Cowitness and Lower 1/3) allowing you to seat the sight at a height that suits you.
