I'd rather just put a little tape on a fiber to darken it to my liking then deal with electronic light up optics. We do have TA44 Acogs with the same ACSS reticles in them. LINK |

Originally Posted By SickMAK90: I came to ask about this optic with an FSB, is it distracting? It doesn't bother me but I'm also fine using a red dot with a FSB rifle. If you're ok with that, this set up should work for you. That said, I'm thinking of getting a riser or higher QD mount for it to see if I like that more. I have a 16" non-FSB I can put the 2x on, but really like it on my 12.5". |

Any ETA on when the 4X Acog’s with ACSS will be back in stock? |

| A few people have emailed that they want to use a two screw LaRue or ADM QD Acog base. You will need two long screws. Just shoot me a email with you address and we will send them to you. |

Are we still looking at late June for the Primary Arms SLx 1-6x24mm FFP scope as well? Just placed an order for one. |

Dimitri is already working on getting the reticle added to the apps. Engineering came back with height over rail. With the 3 spacers height over rail is 1.41", 1.535", 1.64" With no spacer height is 1.075". |

I ordered one for my AK with a Midwest industries AK mini ACOG mount, I see y'all shooting that setup on Instagram, any pictures anywhere? @MARSH1 |
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

Originally Posted By MARSH1: Originally Posted By KimberZ71: Any plans for a spacer that would yield a 1.93” height? Not in the works. How much demand is there for that height??? Would that be lower 1/3? Since I am running a FSB I think that would be my preferred height. |

| True, BUT the optic needs to be high enough or have enough magnification so that the ranging lines clear the shadow of the FSB. I do not use a FSB, so I cannot give a recommendation on this. |

It’s ok, as it’s similar to a red dot/FSB combo sight picture. I’d like to try a taller mount mostly out of curiosity, since I’ve never tried a 1.93”. Best pic I can get to show what I mean:

And... the Aimpoint Micro used as comparison in my review has malfunctioned. dot turning off under recoil, and a smack to the side brings it back on again. I'm sending it in to Aimpoint for warranty repair. I'm the original owner, I bought it new. If they can't fix it for free, I'm replacing it with something with an etched reticle. |

I always thought the 3X and 5X prisms had better glass than the 1-6, so I'm glad that's the case here too. |

I've got a Pre-order from your EU Supplier do you ship direct or am i gonna get doubled bumped on the shipping? |

Originally Posted By MARSH1: Not sure what you mean that you would be double bumped. We ship bulk orders direct to our international dealers/distributors. I just wondered if QC was done in house (USA) or on site at the manufacture site? Normally i wouldn't care but its taking a long time to ship stuff from certain places (China ironically seems ok) My local posty is wondering what the hell i'm building because there's a lot of weird post coming in at the moment.... It sucks to be a shooter in the UK you can't get jack locally and everything good costs a Firstborn child and a Kidney to buy :) I needed to have 8 kidneys to pay for my KL-12 (not helped by my love of Four Roses bourbon either) :) |

We never ship from the factory to end user or dealer. First QC is done at the factory. Once it is received in our Texas facility every optics is opened and run through our US QC line before it is shipped to end user or dealers |
