Welcome to my master list of all Primary Arms rifle scopes, prism scopes, red dots, and magnifiers. Primary Arms is a Texas company that markets rifle scopes, red dot reflex sights, prism scopes, and mounts. Updated: December 22, 2020, 27 optics, 67 reticles.
Primary Arms is well-known for the ACSS series of reticles. Trijicon and Holosun are now also using the Primary Arms reticles in some of their products. The Primary Arms warranty is a lifetime, three-year, or one-year warranty (varies by product) that covers defects.

Where are Primary Arms rifle scopes made?
Generally, Platinum series rifle scopes (PLx) are manufactured in Japan, Gold series (GLx) in the Phillipines, and Silver series (SLx) in China. PLx rifle scopes are made by LOW Japan. SLx rifle scopes and optics are sourced in China from (at least) Galaxier, Aimbond, and SAM Electric. In most cases for Primary Arms, I’ve been able to figure out the OEM by identifying similar products from other brands with known OEM sources. For example, the SLx 4-14×44 FFP is strikingly similar to the Athlon Talos 4-14×44 FFP rifle scope, with very similar scope bodies and specification statistics (e.g., identical FOV). Since we know the Athlon Talos is made by SAM Electrical in China, I can guess the Primary Arms SLx 4-14×44 FFP is also made by SAM Electrical.
