But the good news is that even if you decide to run a model with a different caliber than the host firearm, the SLx 3x Micro Prism can still be utilized to engage targets out to whatever desired distance – you’ll just have to zero it to that distance and learn your holdovers. That, or figure out the proper battle sight zero for your given caliber to make sure you’re only a few inches high or low out to a given distance – but that’s another article in and of itself. KR-103 SFS AK with Primary Arms SLx 3x MicroPrism scope. Here’s where the SLx 3x really shines – features and included accessories. When you open the box, it’s impossible not to notice the sheer amount of ‘stuff’ jam-packed inside. This includes three different risers – a low, medium, and cantilever style, as well as a two-bolt Picatinny mount that includes a special hex key designed to prevent over-tightening. One thing I really liked about the included features is that the mounting bolts themselves feature non-permanent Loctite – which is a God-send when running a serious-use optic on a heaver-caliber firearm. A Springfield Hellion with the SLx 3x MicroPrism mounted far to the rear. On the top and right side of the SLx, the optic features low-profile turrets with 80 MOA of adjustment for both windage and elevation in quarter-MOA clicks. So despite being a fairly low-magnification optic, it still allows a shooter to perfectly dial in their specific firearm and load. On the left side, the SLx 3x features a knob that adjusts the brightness of the ACSS reticle from one to 13, with the bottom settings being designed for use with night vision devices. The Slx 3x held zero flawlessly even on this 7.62x39mm AR-15 SBR. IMG Jim Grant SLx 3x Testingįor the review, I mounted the SLx 3x MicroPrism on five different firearms – an IWI Galil ACE. 308 pistol, a TAVOR-7, a Kalashnikov-USA KR-103 SFS, a parts-built 7.62x39mm AR SBR, and a Springfield Hellion. And on every test gun, the SLx 3x MicroPrism held zero fine throughout the duration of every test. In the simplest terms, the SLx 3x MicroPrism just works – and it works incredibly well at that. Just a great all-around optic that strikes the perfect balance of magnification, weight/size, and light reception. After all my time with the optic, it has definitely become an indispensable part of my arsenal to the point where it would be one of the last optics I would ever sell if I had to.

I also really enjoyed “Chances Are” as well as the “Give In To Me” duet between Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester.įor me, their music was more of a star of the movie than Gwyneth’s songs. This surprised me a bit because I was actually, strangely excited to see hear Gwyneth’s songs. In fact, I have to admit that I was making fun of this movie until I saw Gwyneth on Glee. She was awesome on Glee, and I thought to myself, well, maybe this won’t be so awful after all. When I saw that Country Strong has 39 songs in it, the soundtrack addict in me started to get a bit excited for the movie.
