Primary Arms Optics is proud to introduce the newest addition to the award-winning SLx® lineup: the SLx Compact 4-16x44mm First Focal Plane Rifle Scope. Designed for those who want dependable mid-power precision without the associated weight or length, the new 4-16x44mm model delivers a remarkably compact profile, measuring just 10.1 inches in length and weighing 20.5 oz. Built for hunters, practical marksmen, and anyone who needs an agile rifle setup, this scope blends high performance with outstanding portability.
The new 4-16 is designed to feel equally at home atop a light hunting rifle or a compact DMR. Its 4-16x magnification range offers enough top-end power to stretch the legs of heavy-hitting cartridges, while the generous eye box and high-quality glass make quick shots and target transitions feel natural. The FFP (First Focal Plane) design ensures accurate measurements and holdovers at every magnification, and the wide adjustable parallax—from 10 yards to infinity—means this scope can be used on anything from rimfire to full-power rifle cartridges.
Users can choose from three specialized reticle options, each built around Primary Arms' signature ACSS® technology.
The ACSS DEKA G2 reticle provides a clean MIL-based crosshair with a precise 0.1 MIL center dot and an intuitive ranging system usable from 300 to 1000 meters. It's built for those who want an uncluttered, traditional aiming system that still offers the full features of an ACSS precision reticle.
A mainstay of our precision scopes, the ACSS Athena BPR MIL reticle returns with a finely tuned MIL-grid layout, an infinitely precise chevron tip, extended holds for those who shoot long distance. Its built-in ranging features allow quick distance estimation without breaking position.
For those who prefer a BDC option, the ACSS HUD DMR .308 reticle provides a complete firing solution with compensation to 1,000 yards, moving target leads, wind holds, and a bold horseshoe for fast target acquisition. Designed around .308 Winchester and similar cartridges, it excels in scenarios where speed and precision are equally important.
Regardless of reticle, the new SLx 4-16x44mm FFP rifle scope brings a guarantee of quality, backed by extensive field testing. It is shockproof, waterproof, fog-resistant, and backed by Primary Arms Optics' industry-leading Lifetime Warranty, so you can count on it to last.
"Our goal was to build a truly compact, lightweight mid-power scope without sacrificing optical performance," says Stephen Morgan, Director of Product Marketing at Primary Arms Optics. "The SLx 4-16x44 delivers on that promise, and at a price accessible to most enthusiasts. So, whether you're hunting deep country or tightening groups at long range, this optic will give you confidence in every shot."
Priced at $349.99, the SLx 4-16x44mm FFP Rifle Scope is available now with all three reticle options through Primary Arms and other authorized dealers.
