- The ACSS® H.U.D. 4-14XFFP scope is a hybrid part battle/ precision optic in one. Designed to solve the problems faced engaging targets in windy conditions with limited exposure/opportunity of unknown ranges and while moving. Increasing your first hit ratio and improving your time on target. H.U.D. stands for heads up display. Years of research have come to this point creating the most advanced reticle in the world. Everything you see is designed out of necessity solving the problems on hand. Targets don’t always stay still. They are there one second gone the next. Wind comes and goes changing direction. Sometimes there is no time to do the math or look at a data book. ACSS ® H.U.D. deals with reality of fast on the fly shots to complete firing solutions. The 4-14XFFP is very fast at 4X and very accurate at 14X remaining true in all magnifications.
I purchased a Savage 10 .308 on Memorial weekend. The poor thing sits lonely and unused in its box, while I've been trying to figure out what optic to put on it. I have zero experience with distance shooting, and had no real comprehension when I bought the rifle how much I'd have to educate myself on rifle scopes. Anyhow, I went to your website on a totally different mission (looking at a red dot) and very happily stumbled on THIS little gem. Short story long, I think I have found my optic!! Have a bonus check coming next week, and then it's "Merry Christmas to me!". :)
These ACSS Reticles are seriously the most badass thing I have EVER seen!
...? I mean, the reticle is cool and all.
But, if this is the coolest thing you’ve ever seen and it’s all down hill for you now, that kinda sucks.
I love this reticle! Got it sighted in, confirmed the trajectory out to 250 yards, got everything entered into StrelokPro and used the reticle features to drop my 6x7 bull elk at 650 yards with a 6.5 Grendel rifle! One behind the shoulder, one through the neck, it’s pretty amazing!
I have this in a Grendel and would love to know your set up
stroudads nothing crazy. I have a quality lower and got a 20” 6.5 Grendel upper from Palmetto State Armory. I sighted it in and entered everything into the StrelokPro app (ballistics calculator, recommended by the folks at Primary arms.) I sighted in at 43 yards, the first cross over for a 268 yard zero (recommended through the app for maximum point blank range with a 4” radius margin up or down) then confirmed the trajectory at 100 and 250 yards. It was all on, so the StrelokPro app was able to tell me exactly how to aim / hold over at 650 yards, and it was dead on!
I was lucky to have a dead wind, but wind estimation with the 6.5 mm projectile isn’t bad, as it doesn’t drift much. The app can help with that too.
I'm sure that Elk was very appreciative that you were so considerate and took so much consideration in murdering him. 😬😁
You spelled “Harvest” incorrectly! And yes, we do owe it to our prey to try to give them a fast death. I did just that. I’d definitely appreciate the same myself.
6.5 grendel at 600yds?!? Jeez not leaving much energy to play with
Wow i went from thinking it was to cluttered to feeling like a can't live without it.
Just bought an AR with this sight aboard. Didn't know what kind of deal I was getting. Very eager to get out and get comfy with this sight. Thanks.
Primary arms putting in WORK. Simplicity is powerful.
Dmitri - I went from Zeiss Conquest to Nikon Prostaff 5 to Vortex Viper PST to Falcon Menace until I saw your video. Needless to say I decided on the Primary Arms after the video since I am new to riflescopes. This reticle is not only authentic but very practical. I can't wait to throw some lead down range with confidence in my mark being true.
FINALLY, someone explains it all finally. This is one of the best Reticles for determining every factor on the fly
Just used it this weekend, and it is dead on with SMK 175g. A truly great optic for the money!
This is the most intuitive and thought out scope ever to hit the market for 7.62*51 nato from 100 to 1,000 meters.
I purchased two other scopes and after watching this video I ordered 2 - one for my AR and one for my Sig cross 308. Can’t wait to try them - should be a lot of fun.
You know what I like about Primary Arms? Y'all actually take time out of your day to talk to your customers. By the way, I've ordered many things from your site and have not been disappointed yet. Just got this scope in today. My only gripe was my overnight shipping actually took two nights. But I'll live. The most important thing is that your customer service and the products y'all offer are friggin awesome. Thanks.
Primary Arms shipped my 4-14x44 acss scope w in 3 business days. I can't wait to zero it in on my DB10 ... Great scope Great company 💯!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my HUD Scope!!! The Reticle is PERFECT!!!!😃
Totally slick. Some serious though and knowledge went into this.
Video is very helpful. Thanks for making it. I do have one of these and really like it. Can't say I have enough rounds shot with it yet to be 100% sold on it, but I do like it so far and would totally recommend it. Definitely wouldn't call it a cheap scope, in referring to the quality. Maybe affordable would be a better word. My only complaint, and it's not a big complaint, is that at max magnification the eye relief is pretty unforgiving.
Thats awesome for a dmr/spr set up. Good work, Dimitri
How will it line up with 6.5 grendel w/18" barrel. 100 and 120 grain loads?
Would this scope's BDC possibly be compatible with 7.62x54r caliber? I was looking to put one of your scopes on my PSL/FPK Rifle. I'd be using 147 grain light ball surplus.
BTW I have your 1x6 ACSS 7.62x39 scope for my Ak and love it!!!
Which part of the chevron is the 200 yard mark exactly? Is it the inside tip, or is it the flat part of the base of the chevron where the opening/mouth of the chevron is?
Know a guy who has this scope on his 6.5CM and after shooting his I ordered one for myself. Can’t wait to get it up and running!
bought this for my 20" 5.56. will it work for 55 and 62gr. ? or should i get something else?
2022 I am now using the mill dots as well as the B.D.C. Fucking Love this
Just had a chance to take this scope out to zero it in.
AMAZING SCOPE!!!!!!! If I ever need to buy again I'm coming back. Clear as a bell, the light up reticle is unbelievably helpful, the installation is si.ple flowing you're instructions, just an all out fan of it. Great great scope.
I love primary arms reticles. I won't be using any others for scopes. Would love to see some more in the red dot area. I think Holosun has one of primary arms' reticles in one of their sights. Would like to see more options. I have the 1-6 on my Kel-tec RDB and a 1-8 on my Desert Tech MDRX. Excellent combinations.
I have 2 of them the 4-14x44 I call it old faithful because I had to sell my first one. But when I picked up the second one it was even better. I believe it is better because the first one I owned was used. And it was one of the first to be released to the public. Not saying that it’s a bad thing at all whatsoever. I DID NOT WANT TO SELL IT however I needed money to fix my truck. At any rate as soon as I was able to replace it I did. It’s on my 20” AR and believe you me that rifle is surgical. With this scope and my rifle 300 yards is nothing not joking at all whatsoever. Well I decided to put together a AR10 in 308 and picked up the 3-18x50 ACSS. Same deal just as accurate just as easy to use. My next ACSS for my bolt will be the 4-16x50 ACSS I believe it will make a great combination. Especially with everything I have experienced with the other 3 I have owned and currently own. Seriously anybody who is considering getting something from primary arms. I don’t think your going to be disappointed they truly do make affordable QUALITY scopes in my opinion.
Thanks for taking the time to explain.
I'm buying one today! Thanks for the share!!
great explanation of this reticle & how to use! thanks! I have been looking for months at scopes for my rifles I've looked at everything from A to Zeiss & I'm sold on Primary Arms scopes! I believe that you give the best possible prices on scopes! I've seen prices that are alot more & the quality is the same.... thanks again! thanks for making it possible for a person to get quality at a prices I can afford!
Finally in stock today ordered as soon as I got the e-mail very very excited about this scope and getting out and put it to work great presentation finally a scope that won't break the bank and easy to use . Thanks Primary Arms
Man, I can't wait. I've gone through the video three times already, but I'm watching it again now because my shipment got delayed (by UPS, not Primary Arms) by a day, so I don't have my scope yet.
Thanks for the super fast processing, by the way! I ordered on Saturday night, and my scope was on its way Monday. Can't wait to get it mounted on my .308 AR and hit the range with it.
I'm working my load up tomorrow using Hornady Match brass, Benchmark, and the 168 gr. SMK - any suggestions?
IS there a version with Metric distances forthcoming or are yards all that there will be. Very nice product.
I’ve not yet gotten an ACSS for my 556, but I did get the one for my 22lr and I love it. It’s so perfect it makes it not even a challenge. Eventually I’ll get a 556 version, but for now everything is within red dot ranges. And the Aimpoint PRO is doing the trick. So much so I have them on 3 of my AR rifles.
Very well presented Sir, thanks for the lesson.
Great video! Instructions were clear and easy to understand. Just have one question though. can the range estimation be used for hunting. Say deer and coyote?
+Carson Liby yes coyote is 18" hip to shoulder so use center mass portion, deer is 36" from hoof to top of back. It's in the instuctions
I used a 25 yard 300 zero paper from when I was in the army. My point of aim when zeroing was the 300 holdover on the reticle. My way didn’t seem to be wrong
When can we find a 6mm ARC reticle, or at least, what would work best with the caliber? Or would you suggest using a 6.5creedmoor/.224 Valkyrie specific optic?
You guys are really innovative. I want to get this for my new LR-308. Props from Houston
excellent video. Best tutorial yet.
Thank you
I almost bought one of the older ACSS reticule scopes till today I found out about this one. Now I am definitely going to buy the 3x18 scope with this ridicule. This design is perfect for so many different scenarios. Thanks Dimitri for the excellent work.
do you think this would be a good optic for putting on a AR-10 and firing from the shoulder? (Not bench shooting)
Nice scope. Just bought one for my .308 yesterday.
Awesome. Hope these scopes are all waterproof and not just resistant. Will be looking for my SPR
Thank you ***** (Dimitri) I just placed my order!
dmitry- I already have and love your 1-6 acss, am looking at buying a scope for my new remington 700 lr 30-06...do u recommend this or the orion? it would be used for both long range shooting and hunting. I'm assuming this will work with popular 30-06 loads as well?
What is your experience with the 4-14XFFP ACSS HUD and 300 win mag. Will it hold up? I have seen people including you use it on a 300WM . PA says it not rated for magnums. Would appreciate your opinion. Will a muzzle break help the scope to handle the recoil at all. Shooting 150 grain. Thank you
I've got a budget bolt action rifle in 270 with its factory stock scope. First things first, I want to see how well the rifle shoots. I've free floated the barrel. Heading to the range to try a few different brands and loads. Then replace that scope with an ACSS scope. Probably not this one. This model is going on a 308 I'm currently building. I am considering selling off my other, older optics and replacing them all with ACSS optics!
Dmitri- I have a 7.62x39 AK and was wondering how significant the BDC would be if I were to use the 2.5x for.308 caliber? I will not be shooting any further than 200 yards with the majority of my shots being within 100 yards.
How would the leads work with ranges below 300 yards? Do we use the horseshoe reticle edges and the upper hashmarks?
Quick question would any of this ranging stuff work at all if I put this on a .243? Since its defined specifically around the .308 cartridge.
Brilliant design! 👏👏👏
Love it final i can understan this scopes...
Will be calling to ask a few other things..please make more videos like that .thank you.
I have a few rifles that I shoot 75gr or 77gr .223/5.56 from.. varying barrel lengths. Will this reticle work for a 16" or 18" barrel for those heavier .223/5.56 rounds? Or does it assume a 20"+ barrel? I appreciate any feedback
Hi how do I zero the acss with only a 25 yard range facility?
Amazing
I love this scope so much! Three friends have them now
System looks great and simple .
Outstanding. The only thing that bothered me is that I had a devil of a time finding your cursor, and had to keep "rewinding" to find it. Otherwise, really great!
Is this set up around a specific weight or velocity or will it work with even a short (16 inch) .308?
Can't wait to try it :-) Thanks for a great system... The scope is coming in on Monday!
Hi Dmitry! I have a question I was hoping you could answer for me. I'm shooting a 16 in 308 with 175 grain Sierra matchking 2446 FPS. How should I adjust my hundred-yard zero to make the ballistic reticle match up? Ty!!! love my new Gold Line 6x24!
I want to purchase one of these for an AR-15 but am hesitant due to this being designed for .308. You mention that the website has ballistics for different loads but what website and where can this be found? I want to shoot a variety of 5.56/.223 loads from the lower grains to the higher grains, how much point of impact difference would be expected and can the bdc be used? Thanks
Great video. What are the black dots that lie on the Vertical centerline in-between the horizontal range marking lines for?
Thank u for the review of your product. Cant wait to buy my first Primary Arms optic/scope
I’m putting this on my APC308 for sure. What a reticle lol wow
Do you think this BDC would work with the 7.62x54?
I ask because I have two of these types of scopes and I love them. And, I have three Veprs for that caliber and I'd like to get another one.
Please let me know.
Great explanation will buy this scope for sure.
I dont "get" mils at all. But this made more sence than all the other vids Ive seen yet. THANKS!! Converting "torso" to "coyote" is gonna be interesting. What would 1 click equal in inches?
Just picked up a Savage 10FP and was going to pick up the MIL/MIL FFP from the 1000 yard for $1000 video but since this is for sale now I'm not sure what i should do. ***** Do you suggest i get the Mil/Mil or the ACSS for my new bolt gun. I can still get precision groups with the ACSS like a standard Mil dot but this reticle is just more advanced right?
how does this scope handle 6.5 Grendel? Couldn't find any bdc info in the manual.
Thanks
millitary arms channel actually sold you probably quiet a few of scopes. i know i never heard of you guys until the 1000 yards 1000$ challenge and i know i went to your website and seen this reticle and i just had to have it.
I just want to say thank you for putting such a good product out there at an afffordable cost! I have spent many hours looking for an effordable 1-4x scope, Then I stumbled upon you on u-tube. Any idea when the 1-6x will be back in stock? And is their a waiting list? By the way your little boy is awsome, he gives me hope that I can hit some to with your scope. Thanks agian, for all your hard work!
dimitri , how long until the rgrid is coming back out? i wanted to get one when they first came out but didnt have the funds . they were gone by the time i had the cash .
How's the reticle work with swiss k31 rifle and gp 11 ammo? 174 grain @2560 fps.
Just ordered it. Thanks for the breakdown.
Question: In ranging center mass does the width include the arms or is it just the torso?
Thanks.
Barry Justice I know it's been a year but in case other people are wondering when you range a person you do it from shoulder to shoulder on the outside. If they were wearing military rank on their sleeve it would be rank to rank for example.
Awesome!, done well with this reticle 👍
Nice! I really like this! Gonna pick one up for my .308. Do u guys recommend a specific magnification power for the .308 and this reticicle? Also, do you have one for the .300 win mag or other calibers?
How does the scope compensate for when someone uses the magnification as it will change the size of the target? Does all of the target ranging work etc need to be done at 4x?
That is incredible. You just sold another one!
First focal plane. So the reticle works at all magnification settings
How do I use this with something other than the caliber and load it was calibrated for? And just from an intuitive aspect wouldn’t it make more sense if the longer distance vertical lines were toward the edge and the closer ones toward the center?
I couldn’t follow a lot of what you were saying because the cursor disappeared. Either off the edge of the screen or just blended in with the background. By the time I would find it you were on to the next point.
I understand the basic ACSS, but much beyond that I get lost. What if you are shooting heavier or lighter bullets than it was calibrated with? Doesn’t that skew all of the waypoints? If not why would it not work with every load in every caliber?
I hate to sound stupid here, maybe I am, but I am clearly missing something conceptual.
I will be setting up a rifle to hunt with in 280 Ackley Improved. It shoots a bit flatter than 308 or 30-06. For hunting I won’t need to range beyond 600 yds at the very most.
I have tried to watch all of your videos and the 36 inch high thing fits or fits close enough for reasonable ranging.
I realize I am not sticking to this particular video. I also realize the original ACSS was a combat sight. It makes sense just as it is for that purpose. Now, when we clutter it up with the mil or MOA in addition, it gets confusing.
I am thinking that ballistic coefficient really only matters a distances well beyond most hunting scenarios. Sure it is important for long distance target shooters and military snipers. But for the rest of us dumbasses that do most of our shooting inside of 250 yards we need something that is based of of known SIZE. The 3 inch clay pigeon is a great example. The bottle not so much. A 12 oz bottle, a 20 oz bottle, a one liter bottle? What size bottle. A foot square rectangle would work a 15 inch diameter circle would work. I can’t remember the old deal about height measurements based off the average size of a human head..,but what ever it is something similar could give us that reference to validate the other measurement.
The chevron is a stroke of genius. That works much better than anything that might subtend the target at distance, I would suggest either green or yellow instead of red. The eye picks it up easier. The donut and chevron should replace the red dot in every sight.
I noticed the 22 reticle is second focal plane...for consistency a FFP 22 scope would be helpful.
As to a desirable variable for hunters. A 2-10 or 12 power would be great. I can see no need for anything stronger. A 3 to 9 can work, but 2 power on the low end is ideal. A 1 to 8 power could work as well. But the objective lens needs to be bigger than 24mm. The bigger the better.
I am sure I am annoying folks, so I will stop. Just please give us something dead simple that is not limited to a single load. Thanks from the math challenged horde.
Great explanation
Would any part of the range estimating work if mounted on a .243 since calibrated for .308? Not as concerned with bullet drop. Sorry for the repeat question my other account was linked to an email that Ino longer could check on a regular basis for a reply.
This is kind of brilliant.
Can you tell me the difference between the 4-14 SLx with this reticle and the 4-14 OPMOD (optics planet modification) that optics planet offers with the same reticle?
If I run a 6.8spc with 110gr loads, which reticle do you recommend? The 223 or 308?
How different are the 308 and 223? Accidentally bought the wrong one...
What I would prefer would be ranging an entire person's height much like the Russian PSO, yes I know it would be less accurate due to the various heights but instead of two torso ranging tools repeated on both sides I would just have one side for ranging torso and one for height, that way I can range height which I find easier and then confirm with any of the other ranging tools if I choose to. Other than that, amazing reticle.
very well thought out product! I'll take 1 :)
It seems like this scope is mainly meant for shooting at 300+ yards since there are no windage or run/walk dots for 100/200.
I have this scope mounted on my Mossberg ATR 243 win & zeroed with Remington 243 PSP 100 grain at 100 yds. I also hand load this cartridge with Hornady VMax 87 grain BC=0.400 @ 3000fps average. What do I need to do to adjust the BDC for a specific bullet weight keeping the max bullet at 100 gr Sierra SBT BC= .406 @ 2800 fps average?
Is the reticle electronic or permanent? I have an astigmatism, and I can't use red dot scopes because they blur out and are not circles through my eyes.
Very cool, now I Just have to wait for the in stock AK scope. Thanks for the response.
It's there a 7.62x54R?
You said the chevron tip is 100 yards but it looks like the chevron tip is supposed to be your 200 yard zero, and the inside top of the horseshoe is 100?
What is the height above bore that this is calibrated for? I'm looking to get a 308 and have put in all the calculations into Strelok+ and I can't find any round that matches. I've already bought the scope for my 30-06 and the BDC is accurate to 500 with the right zero. I was looking to trade it for a 308 but again, right now I cant find any round in 308 that matches up any better than my 30-06. I'm loving the scope though!!!
Strelok has the reticle and will show you the distances for the marks on the reticle.
I have a question, would this scope, be viable with 5.56(55grain)
4:00 minute mark: Shouldn’t I hold left when wind is left to right?
he did hold left...using the windage dots on the right makes you hold left
What's the lines on the elevation turret? The 0 1 2 3 add you loosen it tighten it??
Is there a special designation for 308? because I'm not finding them clearly listed on websites.
Looks awesome thinking about picking one up
Question/Concern: You mentioned that you used a chevron for better visibility of the target, but you only have the chevron on the section for the closest range targets where visibility would be best. Then all the others have obscuring lines and dots. Would it not be better to have chevrons in those areas too? At least have it on the vertical for the 300-1000yd markers and get rid of the obscuring lines there.
So he kind of addressed this. Use the bdc if you need quick rounds on target, but most long range shooters should have their distances memorized, so the exposed turrets allow you to dial for the range and take a well placed shot. You get tons of options with this system
what round is this reticle calibrated to?
I tried in JBM Ballistics using 175SMK at 2580fps and can't work it out
