ACSS HUD DMR .308/.223 reticle tutorial

[@BayouDreamz]

I purchased a Savage 10 .308 on Memorial weekend. The poor thing sits lonely and unused in its box, while I've been trying to figure out what optic to put on it. I have zero experience with distance shooting, and had no real comprehension when I bought the rifle how much I'd have to educate myself on rifle scopes. Anyhow, I went to your website on a totally different mission (looking at a red dot) and very happily stumbled on THIS little gem. Short story long, I think I have found my optic!! Have a bonus check coming next week, and then it's "Merry Christmas to me!". :)

These ACSS Reticles are seriously the most badass thing I have EVER seen!

[@dylconnaway9976]

...? I mean, the reticle is cool and all. But, if this is the coolest thing you’ve ever seen and it’s all down hill for you now, that kinda sucks.

[@raylivingston-modernsurviv1373]

I love this reticle! Got it sighted in, confirmed the trajectory out to 250 yards, got everything entered into StrelokPro and used the reticle features to drop my 6x7 bull elk at 650 yards with a 6.5 Grendel rifle! One behind the shoulder, one through the neck, it’s pretty amazing!

[@stroudads]

I have this in a Grendel and would love to know your set up

[@raylivingston-modernsurviv1373]

stroudads nothing crazy. I have a quality lower and got a 20” 6.5 Grendel upper from Palmetto State Armory. I sighted it in and entered everything into the StrelokPro app (ballistics calculator, recommended by the folks at Primary arms.) I sighted in at 43 yards, the first cross over for a 268 yard zero (recommended through the app for maximum point blank range with a 4” radius margin up or down) then confirmed the trajectory at 100 and 250 yards. It was all on, so the StrelokPro app was able to tell me exactly how to aim / hold over at 650 yards, and it was dead on! I was lucky to have a dead wind, but wind estimation with the 6.5 mm projectile isn’t bad, as it doesn’t drift much. The app can help with that too.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

I'm sure that Elk was very appreciative that you were so considerate and took so much consideration in murdering him. 😬😁

[@apex-livingwithpredators8379]

You spelled “Harvest” incorrectly! And yes, we do owe it to our prey to try to give them a fast death. I did just that. I’d definitely appreciate the same myself.

[@joeditz48]

6.5 grendel at 600yds?!? Jeez not leaving much energy to play with

[@biogaiden9353]

Primary arms putting in WORK. Simplicity is powerful.

[@pmcmva]

Just bought an AR with this sight aboard. Didn't know what kind of deal I was getting. Very eager to get out and get comfy with this sight. Thanks.

[@jeanmachine1984]

You know what I like about Primary Arms? Y'all actually take time out of your day to talk to your customers. By the way, I've ordered many things from your site and have not been disappointed yet. Just got this scope in today. My only gripe was my overnight shipping actually took two nights. But I'll live. The most important thing is that your customer service and the products y'all offer are friggin awesome. Thanks.

[@joepientka8414]

I purchased two other scopes and after watching this video I ordered 2 - one for my AR and one for my Sig cross 308. Can’t wait to try them - should be a lot of fun.

[@Tigerjuice56]

Dmitri - I went from Zeiss Conquest to Nikon Prostaff 5 to Vortex Viper PST to Falcon Menace until I saw your video. Needless to say I decided on the Primary Arms after the video since I am new to riflescopes. This reticle is not only authentic but very practical. I can't wait to throw some lead down range with confidence in my mark being true.

[@MrKells503]

FINALLY, someone explains it all finally. This is one of the best Reticles for determining every factor on the fly

[@AngelofDeath1432]

This is the most intuitive and thought out scope ever to hit the market for 7.62*51 nato from 100 to 1,000 meters.

[@717Chris]

Wow i went from thinking it was to cluttered to feeling like a can't live without it.

[@michaelberry530]

Just used it this weekend, and it is dead on with SMK 175g. A truly great optic for the money!

[@GunRunnersActual]

Thats awesome for a dmr/spr set up. Good work, Dimitri

[@priestof1]

Just had a chance to take this scope out to zero it in. AMAZING SCOPE!!!!!!! If I ever need to buy again I'm coming back. Clear as a bell, the light up reticle is unbelievably helpful, the installation is si.ple flowing you're instructions, just an all out fan of it. Great great scope.

[@protrump1285]

2022 I am now using the mill dots as well as the B.D.C. Fucking Love this

[@hardtail52]

Finally in stock today ordered as soon as I got the e-mail very very excited about this scope and getting out and put it to work great presentation finally a scope that won't break the bank and easy to use . Thanks Primary Arms

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

Totally slick. Some serious though and knowledge went into this.

[@cavscout62]

Know a guy who has this scope on his 6.5CM and after shooting his I ordered one for myself. Can’t wait to get it up and running!

[@brandoM78]

Primary Arms shipped my 4-14x44 acss scope w in 3 business days. I can't wait to zero it in on my DB10 ... Great scope Great company 💯!!

[@lostnlooking2]

great explanation of this reticle & how to use! thanks! I have been looking for months at scopes for my rifles I've looked at everything from A to Zeiss & I'm sold on Primary Arms scopes! I believe that you give the best possible prices on scopes! I've seen prices that are alot more & the quality is the same.... thanks again! thanks for making it possible for a person to get quality at a prices I can afford!

[@ROGER98SS]

Very well presented Sir, thanks for the lesson.

[@TacticoolNinja]

Thanks for taking the time to explain.

[@CMJ559]

Video is very helpful. Thanks for making it. I do have one of these and really like it. Can't say I have enough rounds shot with it yet to be 100% sold on it, but I do like it so far and would totally recommend it. Definitely wouldn't call it a cheap scope, in referring to the quality. Maybe affordable would be a better word. My only complaint, and it's not a big complaint, is that at max magnification the eye relief is pretty unforgiving.

[@ICanDoItMyself]

I love primary arms reticles. I won't be using any others for scopes. Would love to see some more in the red dot area. I think Holosun has one of primary arms' reticles in one of their sights. Would like to see more options. I have the 1-6 on my Kel-tec RDB and a 1-8 on my Desert Tech MDRX. Excellent combinations.

[@scubaguy007]

I’ve not yet gotten an ACSS for my 556, but I did get the one for my 22lr and I love it. It’s so perfect it makes it not even a challenge. Eventually I’ll get a 556 version, but for now everything is within red dot ranges. And the Aimpoint PRO is doing the trick. So much so I have them on 3 of my AR rifles.

[@Dissension249]

I used a 25 yard 300 zero paper from when I was in the army. My point of aim when zeroing was the 300 holdover on the reticle. My way didn’t seem to be wrong

[@ArmyMatt79]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my HUD Scope!!! The Reticle is PERFECT!!!!😃

[@indyguy8686]

excellent video. Best tutorial yet. Thank you

[@rtek777]

I almost bought one of the older ACSS reticule scopes till today I found out about this one. Now I am definitely going to buy the 3x18 scope with this ridicule. This design is perfect for so many different scenarios. Thanks Dimitri for the excellent work.

[@stevenkennedy4130]

I'm buying one today! Thanks for the share!!

[@joshv06]

You guys are really innovative. I want to get this for my new LR-308. Props from Houston

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

I have 2 of them the 4-14x44 I call it old faithful because I had to sell my first one. But when I picked up the second one it was even better. I believe it is better because the first one I owned was used. And it was one of the first to be released to the public. Not saying that it’s a bad thing at all whatsoever. I DID NOT WANT TO SELL IT however I needed money to fix my truck. At any rate as soon as I was able to replace it I did. It’s on my 20” AR and believe you me that rifle is surgical. With this scope and my rifle 300 yards is nothing not joking at all whatsoever. Well I decided to put together a AR10 in 308 and picked up the 3-18x50 ACSS. Same deal just as accurate just as easy to use. My next ACSS for my bolt will be the 4-16x50 ACSS I believe it will make a great combination. Especially with everything I have experienced with the other 3 I have owned and currently own. Seriously anybody who is considering getting something from primary arms. I don’t think your going to be disappointed they truly do make affordable QUALITY scopes in my opinion.

[@wadehgarrett9269]

Nice scope. Just bought one for my .308 yesterday.

[@captainamer71]

Amazing I love this scope so much! Three friends have them now

[@luisdeleon4546]

I've got a budget bolt action rifle in 270 with its factory stock scope. First things first, I want to see how well the rifle shoots. I've free floated the barrel. Heading to the range to try a few different brands and loads. Then replace that scope with an ACSS scope. Probably not this one. This model is going on a 308 I'm currently building. I am considering selling off my other, older optics and replacing them all with ACSS optics!

[@chuckroer9202]

System looks great and simple .

[@w.c.wilson8753]

4:00 minute mark: Shouldn’t I hold left when wind is left to right?

[@martelmitchell]

he did hold left...using the windage dots on the right makes you hold left

[@xSK0RCHx]

Brilliant design! 👏👏👏

[@jobane2]

Can't wait to try it :-) Thanks for a great system... The scope is coming in on Monday!

[@WhatHavU]

Thank u for the review of your product. Cant wait to buy my first Primary Arms optic/scope

[@claytonshruga5893]

Which part of the chevron is the 200 yard mark exactly? Is it the inside tip, or is it the flat part of the base of the chevron where the opening/mouth of the chevron is?

[@kelvynfurniel7272]

Love it final i can understan this scopes... Will be calling to ask a few other things..please make more videos like that .thank you.

[@jaj3238]

Just ordered it. Thanks for the breakdown.

[@PKD253]

Thank you ***** (Dimitri) I just placed my order!

[@dangerclose95]

Great explanation will buy this scope for sure.

[@RhinoCable]

Great explanation

[@mannkeitha]

IS there a version with Metric distances forthcoming or are yards all that there will be. Very nice product.

[@darktrojan00]

What I would prefer would be ranging an entire person's height much like the Russian PSO, yes I know it would be less accurate due to the various heights but instead of two torso ranging tools repeated on both sides I would just have one side for ranging torso and one for height, that way I can range height which I find easier and then confirm with any of the other ranging tools if I choose to. Other than that, amazing reticle.

[@Adventcha]

Awesome!, done well with this reticle 👍

[@carsonliby2436]

Great video! Instructions were clear and easy to understand. Just have one question though. can the range estimation be used for hunting. Say deer and coyote?

[@PrimaryArmsOptics]

+Carson Liby yes coyote is 18" hip to shoulder so use center mass portion, deer is 36" from hoof to top of back. It's in the instuctions

[@warnerparedes7629]

Awesome. Hope these scopes are all waterproof and not just resistant. Will be looking for my SPR

[@MatthewRobinson]

Man, I can't wait. I've gone through the video three times already, but I'm watching it again now because my shipment got delayed (by UPS, not Primary Arms) by a day, so I don't have my scope yet. Thanks for the super fast processing, by the way! I ordered on Saturday night, and my scope was on its way Monday. Can't wait to get it mounted on my .308 AR and hit the range with it. I'm working my load up tomorrow using Hornady Match brass, Benchmark, and the 168 gr. SMK - any suggestions?

[@765outdoors]

millitary arms channel actually sold you probably quiet a few of scopes. i know i never heard of you guys until the 1000 yards 1000$ challenge and i know i went to your website and seen this reticle and i just had to have it.

[@MustangGuru]

What about spindrift.

[@theramseykid]

Looks awesome thinking about picking one up

[@SuperLinc0ln]

Hi how do I zero the acss with only a 25 yard range facility?

[@Brandon-zw3hw]

very well thought out product! I'll take 1 :)

[@rebsarge]

Outstanding. The only thing that bothered me is that I had a devil of a time finding your cursor, and had to keep "rewinding" to find it. Otherwise, really great!

[@UpAnd2TheRight]

I’m putting this on my APC308 for sure. What a reticle lol wow

[@TheOnlySgtRock]

Great video. What are the black dots that lie on the Vertical centerline in-between the horizontal range marking lines for?

[@PurcellAdam]

This is kind of brilliant.

[@monolithtac8837]

Would this scope's BDC possibly be compatible with 7.62x54r caliber? I was looking to put one of your scopes on my PSL/FPK Rifle. I'd be using 147 grain light ball surplus. BTW I have your 1x6 ACSS 7.62x39 scope for my Ak and love it!!!

[@OhioPrepperOne]

Outstanding explanation, I need to get me one, thx!

[@gabemondry]

When can we find a 6mm ARC reticle, or at least, what would work best with the caliber? Or would you suggest using a 6.5creedmoor/.224 Valkyrie specific optic?

[@tdoc2651]

It seems like this scope is mainly meant for shooting at 300+ yards since there are no windage or run/walk dots for 100/200.

[@davejan744]

I dont "get" mils at all. But this made more sence than all the other vids Ive seen yet. THANKS!! Converting "torso" to "coyote" is gonna be interesting. What would 1 click equal in inches?

[@Rocketrich88]

Well Done Brother

[@youngtrav8696]

What's the lines on the elevation turret? The 0 1 2 3 add you loosen it tighten it??

[@matthewnorris8732]

alright I finally bought it with a adm mount for an M&P10!

[@glaciermtf]

bought this for my 20" 5.56. will it work for 55 and 62gr. ? or should i get something else?

[@neoc03]

How does the scope compensate for when someone uses the magnification as it will change the size of the target? Does all of the target ranging work etc need to be done at 4x?

[@neoc03]

That is incredible. You just sold another one!

[@captainamer71]

First focal plane. So the reticle works at all magnification settings

[@jeffadams9807]

I Have This Scope On My Remington 700 PSS In .308 & It Is "DEADLY" From 100-1000yds...

[@nativejuicevapors]

Amazing optic thank you guys

[@prymal77]

how does this scope handle 6.5 Grendel? Couldn't find any bdc info in the manual.

[@prymal77]

Thanks

[@rontate7719]

Where can we buy this???? 10-25-2024

[@pandasnizzle559]

Optics planet or primary arms I think

[@thomasloks]

Thank you

[@AshGreen359]

It's there a 7.62x54R?

[@TheRealCalijokes01]

Still don’t get it if they are running how do you line it up in real time and in which direction

[@cadkoncepts4572]

You said the chevron tip is 100 yards but it looks like the chevron tip is supposed to be your 200 yard zero, and the inside top of the horseshoe is 100?

[@johnwaddell1915]

I just want to say thank you for putting such a good product out there at an afffordable cost! I have spent many hours looking for an effordable 1-4x scope, Then I stumbled upon you on u-tube. Any idea when the 1-6x will be back in stock? And is their a waiting list? By the way your little boy is awsome, he gives me hope that I can hit some to with your scope. Thanks agian, for all your hard work!

[@thomasmonahan1675]

This thing is awesome.

[@phillipg2953]

Dmitri- I have a 7.62x39 AK and was wondering how significant the BDC would be if I were to use the 2.5x for.308 caliber? I will not be shooting any further than 200 yards with the majority of my shots being within 100 yards.

[@hectormorales5306]

Is this for 147 gr 7.62 ×51??? Or what gr??

[@robertwest4299]

Can you tell me the difference between the 4-14 SLx with this reticle and the 4-14 OPMOD (optics planet modification) that optics planet offers with the same reticle?

[@c.j.singleton3609]

You guys make the best optics for the money and have the best tactical reticles in the industry bar none the only thing that comes close to this are the reticles from the Leupold mk 6 and mk 8 both of those optic lines cost more than 2k

[@ripl0x]

Question/Concern: You mentioned that you used a chevron for better visibility of the target, but you only have the chevron on the section for the closest range targets where visibility would be best. Then all the others have obscuring lines and dots. Would it not be better to have chevrons in those areas too? At least have it on the vertical for the 300-1000yd markers and get rid of the obscuring lines there.

[@joeditz48]

So he kind of addressed this. Use the bdc if you need quick rounds on target, but most long range shooters should have their distances memorized, so the exposed turrets allow you to dial for the range and take a well placed shot. You get tons of options with this system

[@5822Bella]

Anyone know where one could purchase a 3-18x50 with HUD 5.56 reticle? Primary Arms says they're discontinued.

[@dillonuebel8106]

I want to purchase one of these for an AR-15 but am hesitant due to this being designed for .308. You mention that the website has ballistics for different loads but what website and where can this be found? I want to shoot a variety of 5.56/.223 loads from the lower grains to the higher grains, how much point of impact difference would be expected and can the bdc be used? Thanks

[@157dixon]

How do you protect your trade secrets when you are producing in China?

[@goobermintheretik1454]

I once worked for NOAA - National Organization for Advancement of Acronyms but Ive never know what ACSS stands for?

[@nicholasscholten4838]

Did you just say left to right wind and then move the adjustment to the "right"?

[@KaizenLife]

How would the leads work with ranges below 300 yards? Do we use the horseshoe reticle edges and the upper hashmarks?

[@aabehzadi]

Will the BDC work for the 6.5 Grendel 123 gr.?

[@dunbar1471]

Would any part of the range estimating work if mounted on a .243 since calibrated for .308? Not as concerned with bullet drop. Sorry for the repeat question my other account was linked to an email that Ino longer could check on a regular basis for a reply.

[@TheOldGunsmith58]

dimitri , how long until the rgrid is coming back out? i wanted to get one when they first came out but didnt have the funds . they were gone by the time i had the cash .

[@paladin7284]

How close would this scope be for 300 wsm?

[@jasondunbar3667]

Quick question would any of this ranging stuff work at all if I put this on a .243? Since its defined specifically around the .308 cartridge.

[@kesselster]

Do you think this BDC would work with the 7.62x54? I ask because I have two of these types of scopes and I love them. And, I have three Veprs for that caliber and I'd like to get another one. Please let me know.

[@Dakkon1882]

How different are the 308 and 223? Accidentally bought the wrong one...

[@bradisaacson4656]

I wish you could brighten up the image. It's a bit dark.
