Primary Arms ACSS Raptor 1-6x vs. Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x

I’m considering buying a budget friendly LPVO and I wanted to get opinions from people that have used any of these. I like the primary arms reticle, but I am concerned about what I hear about the brightness of the illuminated reticle. I would like something that was daylight bright and could work well as a red dot style optic at 1x.

Look at Swampfox optics, the glass is brighter and clearer than others in the same price range.

I have the Raptor and use it as you are intending to. I think it's great, and the adjustable brightness range (11 different brightness levels) covers all light situations you would be shooting in

Primary Arms reticle is sweet.
Swamp Fox sells a product very similar I believe which also is highly rated.

Primary arms ACSS reticle is great. I have the 1-6 on my AR. It’s plenty bright in the brightest of days. I’m pleased with mine.

I had a couple 1 - 6 Strike Eagle scopes. Nice scopes, decent glass, The reticle is a little thick but plenty bright. They held zero from the first time I sighted them in. Solid purchase. A lot of people love the Strike Eagle and the Primary Arms ACSS. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I had the Strike Eagles on a DD AR15 and the other on a SCAR17. I decided to get rid of them due to weight/intended purpose. The Strike Eagle weighs in at 18.5 oz. + the mount/rings.
Below providing you're interested
My purpose for the DD & SCAR changed. I have several rifles and pistols w/SB braces for close up stuff, love the red/green dots for those applications. I also have a quick detach 3x magnifier if needed.
The DD and SCAR are now used for intermediate stuff. I originally had a Leupold MarkAR Mod 1 (before the Strike Eagles) it bounced from the AR to the SCAR & later found a home on a bolt action 22 mag. I went back to that model being I feel it's an excellent scope for the price point as it checked all the boxes "for me." Decent middle of the road 3 x 9 optic that weighs in at 12.4 oz.
Trust me I wanted something sexier but couldn't justify the cost/weight knowing how much I liked the Leupold Mark AR Mod1 w/Fire Dot so now I have three.
Best of success LSUGent!
