Primary Arms Debuts $199 LPVO Built for Rimfire AR Shooters

Primary Arms has built a dedicated LPVO for rimfire AR owners, pairing its CLx 1-6x24mm scope with a new ACSS 22LR G2 reticle designed specifically for .22 LR ballistics rather than borrowing a centerfire reticle and hoping it's close enough.

Key points

• Reticle calibration: The second-focal-plane ACSS 22LR G2 reticle is tuned for 36-40 grain bullets at 1,000-1,200 fps, with a 50-yard zero and holds in 25-yard increments out to 200 yards.
• Extra functions: Horizontal dots on each BDC line give 5 mph wind holds, and the stadia lines double as a range estimator sized to a clay pigeon's width at distance.
• Build and illumination: The scope uses a 6063 aluminum body that's nitrogen purged, waterproof and rated to IP67, with an 11-setting illuminated center dot powered by a CR2032 battery.
• Size and handling: It runs a 30mm tube, 0.5-MOA click turrets, and an extended magnification lever, weighing just over a pound at 17.21 ounces and measuring 10.6 inches long.
• Price: Primary Arms lists MSRP at $199, positioning it as a budget-friendly option for rimfire MSR shooters.

Quick take

Rimfire ARs have carved out a real niche for training and plinking, and a purpose-built reticle beats guessing holds with a centerfire scope. At $199, this looks like a sensible match for shooters who already run an LPVO on their duty rifle and want similar glass on the .22 trainer.
