Has anyone used a Primary Arms 3x Micro Prism on SCAR 17 (pics 29 Nov) Login/Join

I recently purchased a SCAR 17 at a killer price and have this optic laying around and not being used. I want to keep the gun light and not make it 15lbs with optics, mounts and bipod. This will be used out to 500 yds max. It is a battle rifle and I have a Noveske 308 that is set up for longer ranges. I also plan to run a offset dot for close up. Has anyone used theirs on a SCAR 17 or any 308? PA states they are tested to 7k on a SCAR 17.

Please don’t tell me to spend 2K on an optic because I spent over 2K on the gun. Not every gun needs a high end optic Smile. My 3x is mounted in a MI QD mount, so it should not be beat to death by the SCAR 17 recoil.

I wouldn't hesitate to. I'm in the same situation with an LMT being the pig and wanting to keep the Scar light.

I recently put a T1 on it, and I honestly don't want to take it off. It's so handy, and I can do a lot with a 2MOA dot. My LPVO is 19 oz and weighs it down.

I don't see why not. If you feel comfortable with it, that's all that matters.

I dig it. Looks like a handy "jack of all trades" setup for a .308 battle rifle.

Primary arms says on their site that they put one of these on a scar 17s and fired 7k rounds without a problem, I wouldn’t worry one bit

I took mine shooting today. I bought an ADM QD micro ACOG mount because I like QD. I used the supplied cantilever and just added the ADM at the bottom.

Great optic. I would say a great optic for the price but that implies it’s good for the price. It’s actually just good good.

I kind of screwed up though. I had every intention of zeroing slightly (1.5 inches roughly) low at 50 yards to get the 100 yard zero. In my new optic excitement though I forgot and just straight up zeroed it at 50 so all the BDC stuff is now off. I will fix that next time.

Would you mind sharing what you paid for that scar? I’m tracking sale prices and have been watching these things drop a bit.

I purchased this gun NIB from a buddy going through a divorce with 4 mags, custom fitted rolling hard case and Barnes ammo for $2800. Not a fair comparison since you would be buying from a dealer at market price.
