The Primary Arms PLxC 1.5-12x36mm FFP Riflescope (brand part no. 610230) is a compact, first-focal-plane precision optic built around premium Japanese extra-low dispersion glass for a bright, flat image across its full magnification range. Primary Arms pairs this scope with the ACSS Griffin MIL Gen 2 reticle, a purpose-built holdover reticle for low- and mid-powered variable optics, and adds AutoLive automatic illumination that activates the reticle when the scope senses motion, conserving battery life between shots. Housed in a 30mm tube and finished under 10 inches long, the PLxC brings full-size scope capability into a genuinely compact package. Among our gun scopes, the PLxC suits 3-gun competitors and precision rifle shooters who want first-focal-plane holdover accuracy without the bulk of a full-size scope.

Key Specifications

• The magnification range is 1.5-12x.

• The reticle is the ACSS Griffin MIL Gen 2, built for low- and mid-power variable optics.
• The illumination system is AutoLive, which activates automatically when the scope detects motion.
• The tube diameter is 30mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a first or second focal plane scope? First focal plane, so the ACSS Griffin reticle’s holdover references stay accurate at any magnification setting.

How does AutoLive illumination work? It automatically activates the illuminated reticle when the scope senses motion, then powers down when the rifle sits still to save battery life.

What is the ACSS Griffin reticle designed for? It’s a MIL-based holdover reticle purpose-built for low- and mid-power variable optics like this one.
