Hi all,

I am a new AR15 owner, and have shot enough to know that I need an optic for distance. By distance, I mean anything 50+ yards.

I'm intrigued by the ACSS (Advanced Combined Sighting System) reticle, as it tries to take the math out of the equation and let someone sight a target, make decisions, and take the shot.

But, I am getting on in age, and use reading glasses and First Focal Plane reticles, grow and shrink in the sight, and I worry I will lose them.

From videos I have watched of the Primary Arms Raptor, when down at 1x, the big red horse-shoe should function as a red dot. As I zoom out, the ACSS reticle will reveal more and more detail, allowing me to calculate for distance, a running target, (but not windage?)

Anyway, I am interested in your opinion on the new optic from Primary Arms...

At $399, it is at the top end of my budget, as I just spent a little over that for my rifle.

If I can see it well, if it helps me make good shots, it will be worth it.

Thanks,

-John
