This top-tier optic, part of Primary Arms' acclaimed PLx series, represents the pinnacle of professional-grade rifle scopes. Designed and manufactured in Japan with meticulous attention to detail, the PLx5 6-30x56mm FFP scope offers a formidable combination of world-class optical clarity, robust construction, and an incredibly intuitive reticle system. It's purpose-built for those critical moments when every milliradian counts, ensuring you dominate in tactical scenarios, high-stakes competitions, or challenging hunting expeditions.

Unlocking Unparalleled Accuracy: The PLx5 Advantage

The Primary Arms PLx5 series is distinguished as our flagship line, crafted to meet the rigorous demands of professional use. This 6-30x56mm model exemplifies that commitment, providing not just an optic, but a comprehensive aiming solution for medium to extreme long-range engagements.

Key features that set the PLx5 apart include:

  • Exceptional Japanese Glass: The heart of any premium optic lies in its glass, and the PLx5 delivers with top-of-the-line Japanese glass. This superior optical system provides enhanced clarity, exceptional light transmission, and true-to-life color reproduction, ensuring a bright, sharp image even in challenging lighting conditions. This allows for superior target identification and precise shot placement at vast distances.
  • First Focal Plane (FFP) Design: For serious long-range shooters, a First Focal Plane reticle is essential. The ACSS Apollo reticle scales proportionally with your magnification, meaning all holdovers, ranging cues, and windage leads remain true and accurate across the entire 6x to 30x magnification range. This eliminates the need for complex calculations or memorizing different subtensions at various power settings, streamlining your shooting process.
  • Heavy-Duty, High-Strength Construction: Built to withstand the harshest environments, the PLx5 features a robust 34mm main tube. This larger tube diameter not only provides superior structural integrity but also allows for a generous amount of internal elevation and windage adjustment, crucial for dialing in those extreme long-range shots. The durable hardcoat anodized black finish protects against scratches and corrosion, maintaining its professional appearance through years of rugged use.
  • Versatile Reticle Illumination: The full red reticle illumination system offers unparalleled versatility. On its lowest settings, it is night vision compatible, providing a discreet aiming point for low-light operations. On the highest settings, it becomes daylight bright, ensuring your reticle is clearly visible against any background, from bright snow to dense foliage.
  • Precise and Repeatable Adjustments: Accuracy hinges on consistent adjustments. The PLx5 boasts tactile, audible, and incredibly precise 0.1 MIL click adjustments. Each click provides positive feedback, allowing shooters to make confident and repeatable adjustments without looking away from the target.
  • User-Friendly Zero-Resettable Turrets: Once you've achieved your perfect zero, the finger-adjustable turrets can be easily reset to "0." This invaluable feature allows for quick and intuitive tracking of future adjustments, making it simple to return to your base zero or to dial in specific ranges with confidence.
  • Wide Magnification Range: With a 6-30x magnification range, this scope is ideally suited for shooters who regularly engage targets beyond the 600-yard line. The lower 6x setting offers a wide field of view for spotting and closer engagements, while the powerful 30x magnification provides the necessary detail for precision work at extreme distances.
  • All-Weather Reliability: The PLx5 is meticulously sealed and purged, making it completely waterproof, shock-resistant, and fog-resistant. This ensures reliable performance in diverse weather conditions, from torrential rain to freezing temperatures, without compromising optical clarity or mechanical function.
  • Comprehensive Lifetime Warranty: Primary Arms stands behind the exceptional quality of the PLx5 with a comprehensive lifetime warranty, providing peace of mind and protecting your investment for years to come.

The Heart of Accuracy: ACSS Apollo 6.5CM/.224V Reticle Deep Dive

One of the most revolutionary aspects of this PLx5 scope is its integration of the First Focal Plane ACSS Apollo 6.5CM/.224V reticle. This isn't just any reticle; it's a sophisticated ballistic system designed to simplify complex long-range shooting. For those wondering, "How can I make long-range shooting with 6.5 Creedmoor or .224 Valkyrie easier and more intuitive?", the ACSS Apollo is the answer.

The ACSS Apollo is specifically tuned and optimized for the popular 6.5 Creedmoor and .224 Valkyrie cartridges. This means that once you sight in at 100 yards, you are ready to engage targets anywhere out to 1,000 yards without requiring any complex math or constant turret adjustments. The reticle provides intuitive holdovers for various distances, integrating windage leads for crosswinds up to 20 mph.

Key elements of the ACSS Apollo 6.5CM/.224V Reticle include:

  • Integrated Range Estimation: Quickly and accurately estimate distances to known-sized targets, allowing for rapid engagement without external rangefinders in many scenarios.
  • Comprehensive Holdover Field: A clean yet highly effective series of holdover points provides precise aiming solutions for various distances, allowing for swift target acquisition and engagement.
  • Infinitely Precise Chevron Tip Aiming Point: The primary aiming point is a fine chevron tip, offering unmatched precision for pinpoint accuracy on even the smallest targets at extreme ranges.
  • .2 MIL Crosshair Subtensions: Fine subtensions allow for precise windage corrections and further refinement of holdovers, empowering the shooter with granular control over their shot.
  • Seamless Ballistic Integration: This reticle takes the guesswork out of ballistic drop compensation (BDC) and wind calls. By simply using the etched markings, you can achieve a firing solution at any distance, even with a moderate crosswind. This dramatically reduces engagement time and enhances first-round hit probability.

Whether you're engaging steel targets at a precision rifle match, putting down a trophy buck at extended range, or ensuring the safety of your team in a tactical environment, the ACSS Apollo reticle eliminates much of the mental load, allowing you to focus on fundamental marksmanship.
