Obligatory pic of the new 4-14FFP with ACSS reticle. This scope is pretty damn solid. The turrets have a loud, audible click, the side focus is stellar, and from my inexperienced eye, the glass is nice and clear. I do wish the turrets had more of a stop with each click. But so far, that is the only con for me. This scope seems to be well with the $280 price tag. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/slowmethinks/IMAG1541_zpspeki8bhd.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/slowmethinks/IMAG1542_zps1pzvpdp6.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/slowmethinks/IMAG1544_zpsbpkinhcl.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/slowmethinks/IMAG1521_zpseck5r6ai.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c395/slowmethinks/IMAG1543_zps7950j0kf.jpg View Quote Wait until you stretch it out a bit -D |

Hello,
I asked this in the larue form but wanted to ask here as well.. What larue mount do you guys recommend when i use this on a dmps low profile spec 308 upper. Thanks |
|
Any std AR height mount like LT 104 is fine. They have a few new ones at slightly different height. If you have an adjustable stock not a big deal.
-Dimitri |

any idea of when these will be back in stock? Its currently late november, and this scope would be a nice black friday deal......

Just got my scope today and gotta say im pretty impressed.. Glass seems to be just as good if not better then my Nikons.. So far this scope is worth every penny. I just need to finish my 308 build lol

Looking to replace an older super sniper 16x in a Larue mount with this for a 20 in 566 precision rig.
Any moa/moa version, or mil/ moa? Can you explain how this works with mk 262/ 77 gn the drop chart confused me. Tell me like I'm a second grader. Thanks |

got it the other day. seems solid. nothing really to compare to so far. awaiting new barrel to mount.

Got my 4-14x ACSS today. Mounted it, but won't get to shoot it for a bit. Overall the scope seems solid. Reticle is sharp and glass looks pretty darn good. Illumination seems good in low light (haven't been able to check it during a sunny day yet, but don't really care for it then anyhow). Illumination dial was tight and fairly crisp. Turrets as some have reported are a bit mushy but they do have defined clicks which are audible. I'll see how they track once I get it to the range. Shipping from Primary Arms was fast. One thing that caught my attention was that the magnification adjustment seems opposite from most scopes I've used (Vortex, Leupold, Nikon, etc). Those others would move to higher magnification if you moved a throw lever from left to right, but this one is reversed...not bad, just will take a bit of time to get used to operating backwards.
My plan is to use it on a 16" barreled .308 with 168gr ballistic tips and CFE223. So I'll have an initial velocity very close to or slightly higher than the 175gr design example (and most other 168gr loads out of this length barrel too), but will have a lower BC, so hopefully within 600-700yds the reticle should be fairly close once I get a proper zero set... looking forward to seeing how it works :) This will mostly be a hunting gun, but will also be used for practicing on steel within 700yds. If this reticle can get me hits on 10" steel at those kinds of distances combined with not having to think about it much by using the fast ranging ability it looks to have I'm going to be giddy! Update (had time for a short range trip): Well, got to the range and I really like this scope overall. Only 100yds, so this was really just to get it zeroed. Groups were consistent with what I was expecting based on the ammo being used. I really like the chevron in the reticle. Didn't try any real tests on the turrets. I almost would prefer capped turrets on a scope with a reticle like this to be honest. For the money...so far I'm very glad I got it! |

What is the scope tube length? I want to mount one on a Savage 110 in 7mm RemMag, and I have a two piece scope base. Outside to outside the rings are measuring just over 6".

Just a few quick questions.
1. Which Primary Arms mount is recommended for my Remington 700 SPS AAC-SD w/ 20" barrel? 2. Will this scope hold up to being cerakoted and oven cured? What about the sunshade? 3. Will a moa/moa option ever be available? If I like this scope enough I may pick up another for my Mega MATEN build! |

We recommend rings On the 700 you need to find out what sight height fits you, most go low-med https://www.primaryarms.com/category_s/4199.htm 2. It should but that all depends on how hot you get it so do at your own risk. 3.I am not aware of an MOA MOA version. -Dimitri |

I bought the 4-14X44 FFP Scope with ACSS® HUD DMR Reticle. I just love the cross hairs if you can call them cross hairs. I replaced a Nikon M308 with this scope. Nikon would not talk, just leave it at that. My only problem I am having is the elimination knob is so tight I can hardly turn it with my left hand. I had a stroke last year and it took out my left side. The strength in my left hand is just not there. Does anyone know where I can get a knob that will go over the elimination knob.

Has anyone done a box test on this scope yet? View Quote I did one last weekend. I also used the method Dimitri used from primary Arms. Both passed to my standards. Dialing in a mil at a time and seeing it hit exactly a mil at 100 was impressive. Also did the box test too. No issues with either test. I will do another this weekend and post pics for you. Doc |

As far as mils I got 36.6 miles on both elevation and windage. I put it in mechanical zero exactly half way on both ele/win and was on paper without bore sighting at 50 2 shots to zero it. Then took it to 100. 3rds to zero at 100 and then did box and true mil test.
Both tests passed with flying colors. Then I just dialed it all the way out till it stopped clicking and returned to my zero and was still dead on. Primary arms makes a great product for the money. Just wished they offered a 5 or even 7yr warranty. But I guess for 239.00 three years will be more than enough. Doc |

OOS till end of month early july...waiting on another shipment from across the ocean?
Is there any updates with this new batch? |
|

These are in stock and didn't show up in the July 4th sale (big surprise ) so I bit the bullet and ordered one.

Implementing zero stop

View Quote Kinda cool, fits in with the budget aspect of the PA FFP. I just bought the 4X14 FFP, and my magnification adjuster ring seems crazy tight - do they loosen up a bit over time, or it that just the way they are? I can turn it, but it definitely requires some oompth to move it. :( Maybe I need one of those folding cat tail levers or similar? |

Are you talking about the side adjustment or the ring on the eyepiece?

I found video and posted here, just for info. My scope is in transit. Bought shims and I want to implement same zero stop for my scope. About magnfication adjuster may be Dimitri or Marsh can help you. |

Quoted: Are you talking about the side adjustment or the ring on the eyepiece? View Quote Marshall, the 4-14 adjustment ring is what I'm referring too. It turns, but you're not going to reach up with two fingers and turn it... it take, for me at least, a bit of a stronger claw grip going to get it moving. Just wasn't sure if normal, or if it would loosen up a bit with some use... Thanks, |

Sounds like it is a tighter than most but one adjusted you don't want it to be easily moved. |

Ie would is allow the magnification ring to turn any easier? |

Comparing the 4-16x44 illuminated and the 4-14x44 FFP, does the FFP model have better glass clarity?

Edit - Just also wanted to add, Chad at PA sent me out a replacement before I even returned the one I had, so I had no downtime. Great CS which convinced me to buy another PA Scope last night lol. |

Do you know how well the ranging on the reticle works for 6.5 Grendel? Building a Grendel for longer shots.

Got this scope a few weeks ago, have to say that I like it and the reticle is great, but I'm having an issue with the image. I sent an email about a week ago to via the website, but haven't heard anything back, so asking here. I've put a bit over 90 rounds of .308 through it, and I'm getting small black spots(?) developing in the image. When I took the rifle out today, I noticed that a few more have popped up on the image. They are visible when not focusing on the reticle, so needless to say, they can be a bit distracting. This is my first foray into any real optics, so I really don't know what's going on.
I can also try to take a picture of them if it helps. Edit: Nothing? |
