Primary Arms 1-6X Scope, Fool Proof Scope for the AR15 "With a Budget Price Tag"

I got a new scope for Christmas 2013. Unfortunately the illumination lasted less than 30 shots. Not sure what the issue is but with a new battery installed, it still failed to turn on. It has been sent back to Primary Arms for an exchange but as of today April 2014, they are currently out of stock. So I put my Bresser back on my AR15 rifle for the Texas Multigun this month.



CONS:
Aside from the illumination quitting... I did notice some distortion in the scope with some fish eye effect. Also, the 1x setting is very close to 1x but with the distortion it is not as clear as my Bresser that functions like a red dot scope on 1X. Another quirk I ran into was the eyepiece adjustment for getting the reticule in focus for the shooter. The eye-bell / focus for the scope appears to be somewhat loose and allows for the reticule to wiggle inside the scope. This can possibly change the point of impact. I hope my sample was just a bad apple and not representative of this scope.

PROS:
I found this reticule very easy to use. I was able to consistently hit my targets out to 400 yards with little effort other than trigger control. Once I receive my replacement, I will work on farther distances. I am keeping my fingers crossed for my replacement to be much better because I really like this ACSS reticule and the over all price point of the scope.

ACSS "Advanced Combined Sighting System" combining Bullet Drop Compensation, Range Estimation, Wind and Leads in one easy to use system.
