The GLx 4-16 × 50 was specially designed for shooters who like the exotic 6.5 Creedmore and .224 Valkyrie ammunition. It is a sight with a reticle in the optical foreground, which means that it is in front of the magnifying lens. In practice, the cross will grow larger as the magnification level increases, which greatly improves its usability at intermediate magnification levels. Speaking of reticles, the new GLx 4-16 × 50 uses the partially illuminated ACSS Apollo reticle that will be well known to users of other Primary Arms scopes.
The scope has a one-piece 6061-T6 aluminum housing, the main tube is 30mm wide and the whole thing weighs 666 grams. Primary Arms has decided to use multi-layer glass with low light dispersion. Each click of the steel turrets is a reticle shift of 1/10 MIL. The turrets can also be locked to prevent accidental change of adjustments.
The fin of the magnification ring is movable and can be removed if one prefer low-profile solutions. Overall, it looks like this could be a great option for those looking to get into long-range shooting but don't want to take out a second mortgage.
