The ACSS does not function or was influenced in any way by the GRSC. Once you become familiar with both you will realize that the ACSS is a different animal not just from GRSC but anything else out there. I created it to solve my field problems and why its so effective. It's created out of necessity and is exceptionally effective at what it does.

Not yet

Never assume.. We have a 7.62x39/300 Blackout optic in the works.

It will only be compatible with 110gr  but be dead on

Dimitri

Double

We will post the bdc for subs. It just will not be on the reticle.


Dimitri

Not out of stock. First shipment is due in a few weeks. We just put it up so people can use the email when back in stock feature. No back orders but that way you get first notice when-they arrive.  Yes that is the extended mount.

$249 Same reticle as the 6X

Not bright daylight visible. Leave the illumination in very bright conditions and you get a crisp black reticle

They don't have the push button that the BC have but work OK

We have a 1-6X 5.56 version due out soon. We have started working on a 30BO but won't see it until next year.

They will go out once the scopes are received and QCed. They are not here yet.

At 1X you shoot with both eyes open. You do have to have the right eye relief which is why we make two mount. The extended is for people that shoot nose to the charging handle.

The illumination is not red dot bright . The difference is if it is too bright for the illumination you turn it off and have a clear black retice. The horseshoe and dot are the only thing illuminated,  

The zoom is continuous fom 1 through 6

Do you know if its 5.55 or .223 ? What size barrel?

Dimitri

It would be perfect for your application. This might help.

You can't do what this reticle is designed for without the BDC part. It is only part of what it does as illustrated in the video on the first page, It works as advertised and the instruction show you how to set it up with your weapon.

MILs are skipped because we chose MOA. Makes no difference since you are not using the reticle, to see your misses and then dial the turrets to make a adjustment.

Not for everyone. We have a 4-14X FFP Mil Dot reticle and Mil turret scope for non believers and yes it track!

The ACSS was  tested in high altitude, snow conditions, below sea level , burning desert heat and has performed flawlessly. We have gone through great lengths to insure its accuracy. Some people will buy a mil or moa scope, find some ballistic software and think they are on. Fact is, unless you chronograph your load you end up relying on factory data that is almost always shot out of a 26” test barrel or .223 chamber.  Your velocity can be off as much as 300fps! Let’s say you did chrono your load, got your data and now you’re on. Mil or Moa scopes are great at engaging a stationary target at a known range with ballistic data or firing solution. If you own a range finder you will find out that very often it does not give a reading and requires you to bounce off something much bigger at a different range or does not work at all.
In testing using a mil/moa scope it looks like this  
Range finder working:  
Aim and fire range finder 700 yards
You must look at your data sheet and start to use your turrets, hope they are tracking true and for best results requires DOPE.On the ACSS, the reticule is laser edged so there are no moving parts.
Now dial in your turrets, let’s say 19moa that’s a whole revolution and 5moa on most scopes
Then comes the wind, let’s say 5mph wind so 4.5 moa left or right depending on wind direction.
After dialing all this you shoot. Time on target 20-30 seconds!
Here is what it looks like if the range finder is not working! Time to get the calculator out!
Target size 18”X 27.778= 500.004 / by mils on target =range in yards.  Again keep your fingers crossed that you got your mil reading right. Look at your data and start dialing in. If everything is done right time on target can be 30-60 seconds. But wait now there is a different target closer up! You would need to do all the math all over again. You can use your mils as BDC but they end up at odd ranges and still have to dial in wind.
With ACSS all you simply do is auto to range and hold for wind. 3-6 seconds! We were able to get multiple dead center hits and move on to other targets!
Mil/MOA scopes are great at precision type shooting at long to extreme long range. The ACSS is best at CQB and Medium range engaging multiple targets of opportunity at unknown ranges, even while target are moving.  They are different tools for different jobs.

Here is the demo video! We are using a 16" DD with m193 and that's no joke!

A few comments,

1: We sell and I use Nightforce and Schmidt scopes. I use them as you describe and have taken many classes at RIfles Only. I clearly understand your comments. We will continue to offer PA Mil Mil scopes and will be expanding the line next year to include a fixed 10X and a higher power FFP.   Guys please don;t start asking for ETA. All I know right now is next year sometime.  

2: BDC is not a joke for many many shooters.  

3: As I mentioned ACSS is far more than a BDC reticle. Ranging is part of the system along with the other functions covered .  

4: Dimitri designed the ACSS systems so he is not without bias but it is results that matter. He makes it work in many different situations and he gets consistent hits and he get them fast. The design is based on knowledge, experience and testing. Not some marketing department. In fact we don't have a marketing dept LOL   His videos show people how to get results using it.

6: A .308 ACSS that will be in a FFP scope is in the works. It will have exposed repeatable turrets and will combine the advantages of both methods for the longer range use. That is not what we wanted for the 5.56 version the 6X could have done without the exposed turrets. The 1-6 will have caped turrets.

This thread was to introduce a new product that is now sold out. This was the entry level ACSS scope and we don't expect more until late this year.  Two newer ACSS scopes will be out soon.

That ammunition brand are you using? Is it a 5.56 or .223 chamber?
What's your altitude? Most .223 rounds of equal grain are not as fast as 5.56 but because you have a 22" barrel it will increase the fps and be very close. Get me the info I asked and Ill let you know what to expect.

Dimitri

At your altitude 90 degrees temp 35-40 humidity I am guessing its hot and humid with 64pp LE
Zero at 50 yards or 200 and you will be dead on out to 300 yards and only 1.5" low at 400.
I listed the drop at 500-600 yards as well. With a 22" barrel you should be at 2850 fps.

50-0
100-+1.25"
200-0
300-0
400- -1.5"
500- -5.3"
600- -14.16"


62gr hog hammer @ 2960fps

Dial .5" high at 100
And it will be dead on out to 800.

I am guessing 300 yards max would be longest shot you would take so either one would work.
Hope this helps
