- The Apollo is a MIL based reticle dedicated to the 6.5 Creedmoor. This reticle is designed to be sighted in at 100 yards then features holdovers out to 1000 yards. It also features wind leads for up to 20mph and .2MIL crosshair subtensions.

I love it.I just wish it had locking turrets.Thats its only drawback. Dimitri youre a Genius
Looks like I found the scope for my next build! Still love my Primary Arms 1-6x gen 2, and really like the new 1-6x gen 3 with the chevron. Keep up the good work man!!!! I love all of yalls product's and I'm only 2 hours away from you so basic shipping is super fast! Primary Arms is my go to shop for guns accessories. Thank you!!
I freaking love this scope!!!
Mine is being delivered Tuesday! Can’t wait.
Man, now I don't know between the Athena and the Apollo... thanks.
Another awesome reticle design. if it's in a 6-30 platinum it is the kind of scope you build a rifle around.
Holly crap this thing is on!! Getting hits all the way out to 1000 yards using 140eld and my RPR.
looks cool. i dont find it too busy or cluttered at all. i generally ignore everything but my actual aim point so for me id rather have as much info as possible in my reticle. as long as the lines arent too thick, the more targeting and ranging info the better.
i have the 4-14x ACSS R-grid which is very similiar to this new Apollo. its considered busy by some but ive never had issue with it. its actually my all time favorite reticle.
i also have both PA 1-8x ACSS models, the standard SFP scope and the platinum FFP scope.
i love them both and never find them cluttered at all.
all im looking at is that chevron 99% of the time.
now i will say the platinum FFP reticle is a bit too fine on 1x unless i use illumination, yet its too coarse and large on 8x. my main complaint about FFP optics
i much prefer the standard SFP reticle for 1-8x scopes and any scope less than 10x to 14x or so.
SFP just makes more sense to me especially on 1x to whatever tactical scopes but also for long range optics.
the reticle is always the same size and the perfect size.
just a thought.
btw im impatiently waiting for the new PA 3-18x ACSS R-grid 2 model to be released.
that will be my long range companion to my platinum 1-8x aboard my DD5V1.
i cant wait!
Dmitri - another amazing product! Well-done, sir, very well done! When do you sleep anyway, buddy? ; )
Dmitri, will the new ACSS Apollo be calibrated for Hornady's new ELD-M and ELD-X lines of 6.5 CM ammunition? In particular, the 147-grain ELD-M - which has a G1 B.C. of 0.690 - will it work with this reticle?
Hey Demitri is there a 6.5Creedmor ACSS HUD DMR version on the way?
I'm thinking the only reticle that would be better than this is either A: bdc only to 700 yds then mils out to 15 mils or B: mils only to 15 mils and wind dots, not mils. Then you wouldn't be limited to 6.5 cm. I keep checking almost every week to find this in stock though because it is a fantastic reticle design! I like the 50 yd increment change from the hud, as well as wind dots to 20 mph. Keep the reticles coming!! Best scope in the price range hands down imo.
heck yes how about an ACSS Apollo reticle for the 6.5 Grendel in this scope?
I love this scope and Reticle. Id like to see the turrets like on my Primary Arms Gold Line GLX - 6-24x50 ..I love those low profile fat short push button turrets.
Dimitri stop TEASING ME! The Apollo 6.5 CM's near-future home is my Savage FCP w/ 24" threaded barrel but every month that goes by she shits impatiently waiting for her soulmate optic.
ddyoder I have a similiar 10T its going on. Ive noticed some weak ejection on my rifle, hows yours?
You should always shit patiently, causes hemorrhoids otherwise...
I plan on adding at least one of these scopes (if not more). I'm knew at this and trying to get into the sport. Is there any really good tutorials/demonstrations on how to make the best of this reticle?
Very interesting. You never stop thinking, do you Dimitri?
Can this line up with a .25-06?
The trajectory on some loads are very similar to a 6.5cm
Thanks
Hey, didnt see a link. Are these available on your long range scopes?
It would be nice to see the reticle without embellishment and separately with illumination, and is it red/green or just red?
Please update the 3x and 5x Prism scopes calibrated to 5.56/308 to CHEVRON instead of dot.. Love the reticle you gave the AK/300blk guys.. The 7.62x39 reticle in the Prism scopes is an arguably better design. Its been several years now and its really time to update the entire laser etched reticle line over to Chevron.. Otherwise no complaints. BTW, what's the ETA on those 1x Cyclops prisms?
Mine is on its way😄
You should introduce these reticles into the video game industry.
Will this BDC reticule still be usable if the rifle its on is fitted with a 20 moa scope rail? Or will the 20 moa tilt make the BDC marks no longer serve their intended purpose at each distance?
What should I zero my acss apollo scope at using the 6.5 creedmoor 129 hornady interlock and 125 bthp? I also use some ELD Match.
Wondering because I only have access to a 50 yard indoor. So when I take the drive to shoot long range I hate setting up all over again.
@Meh in the last year, many many things have changed. (Hand loading)
Also, "ELDM = ELD match. Extreme Low Drag, match. A round clearly NOT for hunting.
I was simply asking about the hunting load because, well, you can hunt with the rifle also. I wouldn't take game past 300 yards anyhow.
I appreciate your response none the less.
:)
My Aero Precision 6.5 appears to be thinking.
Ideal for untrained novice shooters who are in some sort of fantasy land. For a trained marksman the mil dot reticle paired with MOA dials can get the job done in lightening speed. Now, the most important thing about wind is a understanding of its velocity and direction which can be easily countered from calculation using the MOA wind constant formula applied to hold or windage adjustment.
Oh God.. stop
now if you would make a reticle for us grendel folks?
Grendel with 123gr SST should be able to match the DMR 308 reticles (using Strelok+ program) 24" barrel 2580fps bc .510 zero at 100y then adjust .2 mil high is a perfect match less than +/- 10 feet ranging error out 1000 yards, 20" barrel may be close enough for steel +/- 20 feet ranging error zero at 100y then adjust .5 mil high, 18" adjust .7 mil high +/- 30 feet ranging error and 16" won't work well.
Demitri I have the 4x14x44 ACSS .308 scope that I’d like to use on a Tika 6.5 creedmore until I put the money together for the Apollo. Do you have a program & suggested adjustments?
You ever end up mouthing that on your 6.5?
What compensation do you have to make to use it with .224 Valkyrie
Hi Guys, new to long range shooting. How will I need to adjust the recticle if mounted on a 20 moa rail for cm 140 grn. Thank you
Hey Dmitri, when are you going to make a reticle for the 6.5 Grendel?
It's available now.
I will buy this scope. But I am curious, how would the range finder work in hunting situations on deer or coyote?
shawn burch need answers @primaryarms
Thy made a separate video for this. czcams.com/video/DkNDLzbZ2Sw/video.html
Just got it but haven't got a chance to use yet. What shooting app do you suggest?
I am looking for a scope like this for 6.5 grendel. Can you tell me, would the bdc of this scope be effective?
What length barrel and what grain projectile is this setup for? Thanks
Will this work for a 6.5 prc? Or do y'all make something specific for the 6.5 prc?
Can we buy this yet? Just picked up a bolt action 6.5 Creedmoor rifle yesterday.
Torn between this or a standard mil-dot reticle. I want to learn to use the standard mil-dot for ranging but this reticle is obviously extremely convenient to have. I know it has that small section that can be used as a standard mil reticle, but not sure that would be enough.
It’s enough and why its there
Would it make a great hunting scope
i prefer 6.5-308 ASquare (aka .260 Rem) so, this should be compatible...Thanks !
What load is this balistics reticle tuned for?
MOA !!!!
When does this scope come out?
What barrel length is this designed for or it doesn't matter
Is this future product?
Dimitri, I am having issues with my 3-18 ACSS 6.5 Apollo scope and have not been able to get it resolved and it has been sent back already. Can you help?
When will it be available and for how much
Also take out the chevron an put in a .04 dot maybe able to illuminate only that dot reticule would be perfect
Patrick Smith .04 of a dot? The chevron is perfect! It’s an infinite aiming point. My groups are way tighter
ACSS 6.5 Creedmoor Apollo not on Primary Arms website.
click the link under the video.....I just realized this myself after months of waiting..and it has been here all along...They have a separate site for optics only...
From that new website About "New Building:
Primary Arms Optics continues to grow. In the summer of 2017 we expanded our operations into an all-new 50,000+ sq. ft. facility. Custom designed to maximize efficiency, our new home gives us room to expand operations in the future."
I don't see a link in the description...
Must have changed. Here it is primaryarmsoptics.com/
I see nowhere to buy it off that site. It has a store locator but there are no stores anywhere around that carry it. Then most of the sites carry PA optics don't have this model...
Can this be adapted to any 6.5 Grendel loads?
I was looking at the Ballistics of this (trying to pick a scope as well) .thebiggamehuntingblog.com/6-5-grendel-vs-6-5-creedmoor/
Probably out to 300 yds, (2.1"), at 500y, there is a 2.2Mil difference ( the Grendel drops 11" more). I'm between this, and the Athena , which seems to be pure mil (no bdc).
What 6.5mm creedmoor bullet BC and FPS is the reticle calibrated for ???????
Ive been dying to know this as well
I do believe its 2,750 fps with g1 bc. .646 140 grn !
@@bretnmannn where did you get those nimbers from? if you dont mind me asking.
@@matthewfulkerson6449 primary arms websight apallo description down in the pictures section i called and asked them
Any update on this scope?
Are there any dope cards or cheat sheets available?
@1:02 if wind is blowing right to left at 5 mph why hold on the LEFT 5 mph mark? Would one not hold at the Right 5 mph market? So wind would push bullet on target. Best
The reason you hold on the left dot is that it causes your rifle to aim to the right. You're not aiming your rifle at the dot, you're aiming the dot at the target. Lining up a left dot on the target will cause your rifle to shoot to the right. This compensates for your round being pushed to the left by the wind. Just visualize yourself looking through this scope on the range and setting that first left dot on the target and I think you'll see what I mean.
Why does it use yards for bdc but mils for adjustment?
Any word on when this will become available?
which optic for my tutu for valkyrie
my 224 Valkyrie what optic
click the link under the vid...as Dimitri said..don't worry..I missed it also..
Any word on when this will be available? Will it be part of the Platinum Series?
March 2019
Will this scope also work for 308?
Whats the best way to quickly aim and shoot say 30 to 50 yds (sudden up close) when predator hunting with this 6.5 scope?
Robbie CaptMilkbone Baxter depends on how high the scope is over the bore of your rifle and what you zero it at. In the military the 25 meter zero is the same as the 300 meter zero . So you can hit a human sized target from 25-300 if you hold center mass. Your best bet is to set up a 30 yard target a 50 yard target and shoot them with your current zero and see where you hit. I’ve had this issue with coyotes in the past as well. I just got to the point where I set a shotgun beside me. If they are coming in that fast and close...you’ll be able to get away with a little movement.
Does this work with ffp or sfp?
Any way to preorder?
will this be 3-18x or 6-30x ?
7th Legion 3-18
How closely would this match .224 Valkyrie?
Is this no longer? Nothing on website
Use the link in the video description. They have another website for optics...
Smashed Hulk there is no link

Smashed Hulk thanks! Found it but didn't locate one anywhere.
Any updated on availability?

Apparently he doesn't answer questions after all
The scope would be better if it used meters and not yards.
yeah but i hate how you are to just GUESS at 200 yards
The swamps biggest fear is a united people.Let’s go Brandon.
I'm thinking the only reticle that would be better than this is either A: bdc only to 700 yds then mils out to 15 mils or B: mils only to 15 mils and wind dots, not mils.
