So what are the scope caps needed for this? Would be nice if some non-butler creek ones were options

Apologies if this has been asked before but what is the target market for this optic? I'm scratching my head a bit at the need for an optic to stay on 2X all the time.

I'm scratching my head a bit at the need for an optic to stay on 2X all the time. as others mentioned above, features, illumination, ect. But 2x is an interesting zoom level. A little magnification really makes the ACSS shine, It can still be used in close quarters very easy. But give a little clearer picture of targets at moderate ranges. I set my LPVO at 2x and did a full range day when this optic came out and was surprised how well it worked. I did ditched the LPVO, but I have yet to get this 2x. Im still leaning on going back to a dot+mag myself. But yea, its a neat optic and from whatever thing I read its super tough. |

Ok, so how useful is the ACSS holds with this optic? Does 2x help you see it well enough on its own? I know on 1x you kinda need magnification to really use the ACSS, at least I do.

I just got mine in today. I really like it so far. I walked around the house seeing how different it is than a red dot and I like it much better than a red dot. I’m going to mount it to my x95 and see how it feels. I think I may put a few red dots on the market and pick up a couple more. The advantage that I see right now with magnification is great.

I just purchased a Christensen Arms Modern Precision Pistol, in 5.56, and am looking at a dizzying array of optic choices. I had a P-A Cyclops 1x on my Maxim PDX and really loved the diopter, for my old eyes.
Would the P-A GLX 2X prism work well, out to at least 250yds?  Attached File |

You won't be using much in the way of hold over. Here is the 5.56 bullet drop if that helps. If you are doing at lot that far out a LPVO might be a better choice since you ,mentioned old eyes.

I really want something compact since the MPP is so short & light. Sorry for the delay in responding. I missed your follow up!!! I am 67 and have had cataract surgery in one eye. That is why I said I understand old eyes but the 2X is still my favorite CQB to medium distance optic. The GLx series has better glass and 2X works very well up close. Try one. We have a 90 day no question return policy if it does not work. Thanks Marshall |

Have two of these 2x optics. I like them in general. Have shot them out to 300 yards. The reticle is small but with illumination on, the chevron and donut is easy to pick out. I loose the lower dots on dark backgrounds. Dunno if they are accurate, as I can't see them. Closer in, it works great. That little bit of magnification helps my tired eye. Diopter adjustment is nice also.

There is little dabs or blue loctite on the screws. Hit it with a soldiering needle to soften it up and use a new allen wrench. I am sure the ones provided are not the highest quality if the screw head is still good.

Jerry Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MARSH1: Depends on use and distance. LPVO will get you to greater distances and are preferred by some over fixed low power. This optic was specifically designed for self defense and LE use. It is lightweight, seamless transition from close to max self defense distance, no change in reticle size when making a transition, true daylight bright etched reticle (only available in select 1-6 with limited reticle), fewer moving parts enhance reliability. To name a few. |

I know on 1x you kinda need magnification to really use the ACSS, at least I do. I have 2 of these. One on a SLR107 with the 7.62x39 reticle and one on a Colt 6960 with the 5.56 reticle. Yesterday I was getting hits out to 500 yards using the BDC on 12" steel plates with the Colt 6960. This was from a rested position (kneeling using a barrel for support) with Federal XM193. Out to 300 yards was automatic. 400 yards was 75% hits and 500 yards was iffy. I connected twice out of about 10 tries. That was on me I'm sure. My 50 year old eyes really struggled with my 500 yard target with the 2x magnification. I believe that this optic doubles my affective range over a red dot. I can't see my 300 yard steel with my Comp M4's or M5, but with the GL2X I can reliably get hits at 300 and 400 yards. If I was 25 with good eyes, I wouldn't necessarily have a use for these optics. But at 50 with marginal eyes they are awesome. The BDC is a great tool and close in work is a snap with the 2x as well. I was working on COM hammers at 5 and 7 yards as well as head shots and it was every bit as fast and easy as my AR's with Aimpoint dots. |

We considered 1.5X when we designed the 2X. Maybe because my eyes are old I felt like 2X was the right number to easily and accurately reach out to linger distances while still being fast at CQ. It is not in the works so not going to happen anytime soon bit for a future project sell me on 1.5X |
