Surprise! We teased these at SHOT Show this year and have kept quiet about them since. Here they are!



The proven and popular Primary Arms 3x Compact Prism Scopes are already enjoyed by shooters across the country in the original matte black color. They are now the first Primary Arms scopes to come straight from the factory in Flat Dark Earth! Their features include:

• Patented ACSS® reticles in 5.56/.308 or 7.62x39/300BLK


• Etched, red illuminated reticle with 12 brightness settings


• Integrated but removable 1913 rail mount


• Fixed 3x magnification


• Less than 17 ounces including 1913 mount


• 2.7”-3.0” eye relief and 10.3mm exit pupil


• Warranty: 3-Year Warranty

If you are familiar with the matte black versions of these scopes, they are hardcoat anodized in that color. These scopes start out with the same anodized finish, and then an additional layer of ceramic coating is applied on top. We think they turned out great!



As before, choose your 3x Compact Prism Scope based on your caliber. The reticle in PAC3X-ACSS-5.56-FDE works with .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO, .308 Winchester, 5.45x39, and even with 6.5 Grendel. You’ll have to reference the instruction manual to see where to sight in your particular rifle in order to get the bullet drop compensation feature to line up just right. Removing the integrated 1913 rail mount on this model gives you compatibility with any industry standard ACOG-style mount and allows the scope to be mounted in an AR-15’s carry handle.

5.56 Reticle:


The reticle in PAC3XAK300BO-FDE works with 7.62x39, and both supersonic and subsonic 300BLK. For supersonic loadings the bullet drop compensation will get you all the way out to 600 yards. The 220 grain subsonic 300BLK loads drop so much, they will fall right out of the reticle after 225 yards. Removing the integrated rail mount on this model gives you compatibility with any industry standard ACOG-style mount, but in this case the body of the scope is positioned as low as possible for use on Kalashnikov rifles with mounts placing the optic above the rail cover.

7.62/300BLK Reticle:




Both Compact Prism Scopes come standard with flip caps and a short section of 1913 rail permanently attached to mount a reflex sight above the optic if the user wants. The reticle is etched and works great in daylight as a black reticle with illumination off, but a single CR2032 battery will light it up in red through 12 brightness settings all the way up to daylight bright. There are no night vision compatible settings on the 3x prism scopes.
