The Primary Arms GLx 2X Prism – PA-GLX-2XP-ACSS-5.56 is a fixed-power optic that delivers the clarity of a scope, the speed of a red dot, and the precision of an etched ballistic reticle—all in a durable, lightweight body designed for AR-platform rifles.
At the heart of the optic is the ACSS CQB-M5 reticle, a powerful reticle system that offers ranging, bullet drop compensation, wind holds, and moving target leads, all scaled specifically for 5.56 NATO, .308 Win, and 5.45x39mm. The reticle is etched into the glass, so it’s always visible — even without illumination.
This GLx model features 11 illumination settings, including NV-compatible levels, powered by a CR2032 battery. The daylight-bright red illumination ensures maximum reticle visibility in any lighting condition.
Built from 7075-T6 aluminum, the GLx 2X is highly durable yet compact, with a short overall length and generous eye relief. The enhanced optical system provides exceptional clarity and is ideal for close to mid-range use, whether you’re training, competing, or deployed.
