Primary Arms

Tons of stuff in their Labor Day Deals with too many to list.

First…our new favorite LPVO (low power variable optic) is their SLx 1-6x Gen IV with Nova ACSS reticle which beat out their Gen III model we’ve loved for years.

For a few bucks more than the Gen III you now get daylight bright reticle that’s great for both ranging and holds.

See our full review for this best bang-for-the-buck LPVO and use the above link for a free mount (drop-down).

And of course our favorite pistol red dot with the ACSS reticle…see the full review.
