Mine arrived yesterday. Like I said, simple 16”.
    I’m going to keep LARPing around the house to play with position, but so far I like where it’s mounted. Height and eye distance both seem forgiving enough. I may move it forward a notch if I end up adding BUIS to this rifle, but it’s not a serious use gun so it will likely stay as it is. So far I’m impressed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By travisty250: Are the torque specs in the manual correct? Seems very high to me. For the base to the scope it says tighten the 10-32 screws to 25-30 inch lbs and for the cross bolts on the base 55-60 inch lbs? Edit: Just found in the thread where the PA rep says the spec is correct. RTFB I guess. It doesn’t feel right, seems way tight. I suppose it does have a lifetime warranty so I should just run the thing. I have to say that I am amazed at this products glass clarity and brightness for the price. I picked it up for $280 over the St. Patrick’s Day sale and now I’m looking at picking up another one. I really like the ACSS Raptor reticle as well. They're probably correct for bolts and screws with dry/hardened threadlocker like the Vibratite VC-3 that's included with the optic, it hardens over 15-20 minutes before you install the bolts and torque them down. I mounted mine with Loctite blue 242 on the crossbolts and my Wheeler FAT wrench set to 55 in-lbs and one of the bolts snapped and shot out of the mount like 30 seconds after I torqued it down. At first I thought they must've used chinesium bolts but I found several people saying that if you use wet threadlocker you should reduce your torque spec by 25-30% of what the manufacturer suggests otherwise the essentially now lubricated bolts will end up at a much higher torque than what the manufacturer says to use. Primary Arms sent me a new mount for free and it arrived the same week I sent them an email about it. I used 242 again but reduced the recommended torque settings for the crossbolts and the screws that attach the mount to the riser by 30% and nothing has snapped, it's mounted nice and solid. If I remember correctly I set the wrench to just over the 35 mark for the crossbolts. I made a couple posts about it a page or two back in this thread and a PA rep was quick to respond and ask if the warranty department had sent a new mount by then. I think it was page 14. Edit: My post was #41 on page 14 in this thread after I got the new mount. The screws I torqued with the wrench set to just over 15 and the crossbolts just over 35 using loctite blue 242 liquid threadlocker. |

I emailed them about getting some replacement screws and they would not help with that. They wanted me to send the whole optic back to them which I thought seemed pretty pointless as I only needed a replacement screw. They wouldn’t cooperate like they did with you. Anyways, if anyone is looking for screws, I found them here I found similar information regarding reducing the torque spec with loctite, however, loctites own website says not to reduce the torque spec. I will clean everything and reduce by 30%. Now that I’ve finally settled on 1.63 mount height I’m GTG. |

I've got a 3x mounted on my 14.5 P&W ranch gun. Daytime I run the 3x PA, night time it gets the Super Yoter. The riser works best for the Super Yoter but the 3x micro with Larue QD Mount works without a hitch. RTZ is dead on for both. I've got one 1x and two 3x now and love them. When does the 5x ship?

After treating it pretty rough for months without a hickup, I really don't see any reason to purchase another ACOG. It is the ideal optic for a lightweight AR in my opinion and will likely end up on more of my guns. If there were one thing I would change it would be the ability to put Butler Creek lens covers on. The bikini cover has broken a couple times. I'm now really interested in trying the 5x with an offset RMR. |

Been loosely following this thread for a bit now.
These have been out for a couple years at this point, so what’s the general consensus on them? Good to go I assume. I’ve been running a Nikon P223 3x for many years now, but I’m looking at changing things up a bit and drop a little weight from my current rifle. My current scope and ring setup weighs in around 20 ounces right now, it looks like I could cut that in half with the SLX 3x It seems like I’ll also gain some capability in terms of NV compatibility. |

Got mine out last week and overall was and is a very nice little optic. I originally wanted it for my FAL , but for some reason the supplied mount did not want to sit right on my rail. The rail was fine for everything else , but I think those slightly raised sections in the middle of the mounting bracket would keeping it from sitting correctly. However , I moved it over to my BCM MK2 and it fit fine and was very quick to sight in.
Nice optic and will probably buy another one soon. |

Seems like the SLX is fairly forgiving in that area though. I’ll keep an eye out for an upcoming sale, otherwise there seems to be a couple lightly used ones locally that I could snag for $200 or less. |

Even with the shorter eye relief it’s still functional well beyond what I expected before shadowing took over entirely. I also run an offset so it’s less concern up close.  |

For those that have swapped out the factory base for the prisms, would you be willing to try something out for me? I'm hoping to find out if the factory base is low profile enough to fit under the rear bell of a regular scope. I'm trying to mount a Holosun SCS offset behind/under my 5-25x56 scope, but dedicated MOS mounts are apparently nonexistent other than the offset for the PA prism. If so, I still need to find one of those mounts on the EE or something from a takeoff.

 Attached FileZeroed the back up irons a few weeks ago. Finally got a chance to try the PA Micro 3x. Fricken love it. It was almost zeroed for me, a left hander, out of the box. Excellent groups. I may put one on everything. (Wife's AR already has one needing to be zeroed as well). This micro is magic. Love the weight and size. Love the magnification. Love the reticle. |

Been awhile since I had thrown one of my LPVO’s on a rifle. I did so today, and it went right back to the junk shelf in my safe. I really forgot how spoiled I am by the 3X MP and offset red dot. The eye box, the field of view, the magnification transition speed, the weight.
I was going to put an LPVO on my SFAR rebuild but after today I think I’m done with LPVO’s for good. |

My mindset for having both the 1x and 3x was reinforced yesterday at the range. I was an RSO and some really nice guys, seriously, were playing around with ARs, and a 22 for his son. And while shooting, the battery on his red dot went out. The only thing he could do at that point was play around with his iron sights on one of his guns. I just sat there and said to myself, maybe having the etched reticle is a good move.

Would you mind elaborating a little on this ? What distances are you trying to shoot at ? I have fairly good experience with it and got the hang of it after a couple hundret rounds on my own "selfmade stages". Whrn you say a whole 3gun season i assume you have much more rounds and training with it than i put into that kind of shooting. I am like an inches and a half left and low at 15ish yards and arround double that at 25. For me that is very exceptable in the use case of that optic, the positions and situations i am using it in. |

So long story short. with the optic toward the rear of the receiver to get proper eye relief I couldn't keep my dominant eye from focusing on the 3x image and it slowed me down a lot during transitions, especially up close(under 20 yards), so i moved the optic farther away from my eye. with the optic above the ejection port i no longer got the dominant eyeball confusion but the parallax error was greater, with POI about 4 inches left of POA inside 20 yards. I could get it closer to 1.5-2 inches, but i had to really press my cheekbone into the stock and that just wasn't comfortable, especially when trying to go fast. I felt like 1 whole season was enough of trying to make it work, and just gave up and got a red dot for closer targets.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By -OdieGreen-: ADM started offering their B2 cantilever mounts for these in different heights. They also added some machining to reduce weight.... Nice looking mounts. They're trying, but IMHO not seeing the full picture. Multiple heights, but still fixed cantilever offset. They advertise it as a "Mini ACOG Mount", that "also" fits the PA microprisms, but then only show it in use with PA microprisms? Looks like essentially the AD-B1 (2-hole) with cantilever risers added. Wonder if the risers are permanent, or replaceable? If they would take an AD-B5 (3-hole mini ACOG) and ELIMINATE the riser (keep it low like the B1), it would be ideal for the PA microprisms, allowing the user to pick-n-choose from the options that COME WITH the microprism. I suspect they could sell more of those than the new B2s. I chose to DIY it. Lopped 0.2" off each end of an AD-B2-Std, eliminating the front/rear excess length. Fits the cantilever exactly, and snugs to the rear sight, no pic slot loss.  |

If they would take an AD-B5 (3-hole mini ACOG) and ELIMINATE the riser (keep it low like the B1), it would be ideal for the PA microprisms, allowing the user to pick-n-choose from the options that COME WITH the microprism. I suspect they could sell more of those than the new B2s. I chose to DIY it. Lopped 0.18" off each end of an AD-B2-Std, eliminating the front/rear excess length. Fits better now, but didn't measure right the first time, needs another 0.02" taken off to regain the last pic slot: http://www.nulltime.com/NAR/scopes/SLx_ADM/R-mod.jpg The riser on my B2C is permanent. It’s my understanding these are made specifically for the MP’s, but they identify it by the mounting pattern which is mini ACOG. If one was to go buy some custom hardware, they should be able to use the factory stuff to Lego just about any configuration together on either mount. |

Got mine in and went and shot it. Hated it. The aiming chevron is blurry to me. I would much rather have a dot. My buddy liked it and couldn't understand my problem. I sold it at a loss to him on the spot. I'm not blaming the optic, it just ain't for me.

This is specifically made so you can fix this issue. And there is lots of adjustment available. |

I looked through one at a Phoenix gun show before I bought mine, it was crystal clear including the reticle. I got mine a few months later and the reticle was super fuzzy, I thought there might be something wrong with it. Adjusted the diopter in the rear, it took a few turns, but the reticle cleared right up. Practically perfect view of everything now. |

I got the Midwest Industries mini acog mount and it could still be used with the PA risers. Going to try it with my GLX 2x as I feel the stock mount was giving me fits getting the scope to line up straight. Seemed to need a lot of windage to get on target which then caused parallax issuses with the lenses being so far out on alignment.

So what stock position seems to work best? How does the eye relief compare to a TA33 if anyone has both?

Any chance on selling package deals with the ADM vs the factory mount for those who never would use the factory mount? Would be nice to save a little vs including the factory mount in the pricing only to have it collect dust. |

PA should offer the optic sans their mount and partner with ADM to offer a discounted mount of the height of your choice. The ADM mounts take these optics to the next level IMHO. |
