Is there any plans for for a 1-8FFP scope?
|
|
1-8X in the works made in the absolute best factory in Japan. Yes it will sell for a little more than the 1-6X

Just so I'm clear, you've got a 1-8x coming out in the reasonably near future with the ACSS reticle and it's going to be of higher quality than the current 1-6x? And it'll be FFP? That will be amazing. Since the 1-6x is currently about the same price as the 4-14x ffp I'm guessing the new one would be in the $300+ range? What would be the objective size on the new one? |

So what in the world am I going to do with my 1x 4 and 1x6 when this comes out?!? Im getting tired of rezeroing the scopes as they keep traveling down the line to different guns!
|
|
COUNT ME IN! Guess its time to start putting a few bucks back here and there. Now what did I do with my "Al Bundy" box.
|
|
|
I just got my 1-6 mounted. If the 1-8 is the same quality I'm in!
|
|
haven't mounted my 1-6 yet, but do tell us more about the crosshair or ACSS (i prefer crosshairs)
it's why my 1-4 is the one that's mounted instead of the 1-6 (it's been sitting in the box for months now) |

I had to come way down, I had to hold the 700yard hash mark at the top of the 8inch target to get center hits. Adjusted down till I got the center dot centered on target. Amazingly I needed no windage adjustment at all. I had a couple of stuck cases do to my light crimp on my reloads so I did the whole hammer the buttstock while pulling down on the charging handle deal. No shift in POI. I love this scope. I'm using the 1-6 5.56 acss reticle on my 300blk so I'm sure the BDC won't line up. But until a 1-8 comes on for 300blk it will live on my 300blk. |

1-8.
I'll probably have to wait forever for it though due to your optics selling out like crazy.

Do want, especially if there is a Mil/Mil version where the reticle and turrets match.

Any chance of a fixed 8x or 10x ACSS in the future for my FAL?

When you go to a fixed power like that it slows you down because your FOV becomes so small. With the 4-14 you can be very fast at 4X and very accurate at 14. -Dimitri |

I want to see you guys do a chevron reticle Check out the 4-14 ACSS -Dimitri Care to elaborate? I love PA products, and am impressed with your ACSS reticle, but personally it was too busy for me on the 1-6x I tried, for the style of shooting I do. So (as an honest question) why would you recommend the 4-14 ACSS for someone that wants a 1-6x chevron reticle? What I love about the chevron - Zero at 50/200 at the tip of the triangle, use it for precise shooting in that range. For fast/close work just put the triangle on the target, for ~300yds use the chevron as a hat for headshots, 400 hat for torso |

Have you tested the ranging? -Dimitri View Quote I just want to be clear I'm not trying to ding your product or troll you guys, and when I returned it I mentioned my feedback Personally the reticle was too busy, I think in something like the 4-14 or even higher magnification it makes a ton of sense, (and I've seen the videos of you taking it out to 700yards) but in a 1-4/6x I'm looking for something quick and not complicated. I found the reticle somewhat distracting, I would have been more happy with just a simple horseshoe in that particular scope than the rest of the ACSS windage/holdovers/ranging guide. And I don't know if it was because so much had to be lit but the reticle washed out very easily shooting on a sunny day, and at that point actually worked better with the illumination turned off, but then lost out on a lot of speed vs a red dot. Obviously there is no need to cater an entire product line to the wants of one person, but for whatever it is worth what I would really like to see from you guys is a simple, lightweight 1-4/6x scope with a daylight visible reticle that is simple, and does not obstruct the view. Your horseshoe alone would probably make me buy it, but I really like the chevron reticles too, hence my original question about any chance at offering a chevron reticle |

I am very interested in a 1-6 or 1-8 scope. However the current reticle is way to busy for me. I would love to see something simple and fast like a chevron or even similar to the MTAC reticle. Is this a possibility? I would bet that everyone running an MTAC would swap over if you guys released a 1-6 or 1-8 with a simple reticle

I have the Burris MTAC 1.5-6x, two 6x ACSS and the 4-14x ACSS HUD. The 4-14x has a lot going on but, not to the point that it obscures the target or overwhelms me. I like shooting with the 6x the best though out of all my optics. It's ranging and leads work very well. And I find it less distracting then the Burris.
The Burris is a great piece of glass and I like the Ballistic CQ reticle. At known distance, it's spot on with 55gr and 62gr rounds. Would I trade it off for a chevron reticle, nope I sure wouldn't. The ACSS and the Ballistic CQ both have a place in my tool box. |

The ACSS is really pretty simple for all it does and is so effective. The ranging being off to the side is out of the way until you need it. The doughnut and dot are super fast for CQ work at 1X. We will offer a more conventional Mil based reticle in the 1-8X for long range use where you want to dial for distance. |

I get caught up with all the ranging marks and bullet drop compensation. I guess its just me but I would love to see just the doughnut and dot without too much else in the picture. Im not trying to bash anything primary arms, I am a proud supporter of yalls stuff, however the ACSS does not work for me. |

I'm putting my scope buying plans on hold. I'll just wait for this. It seems like everything I want, but haven't been able to find yet anywhere else for a reasonable price.

If the 1-6x was FFP, you'd already have my money...
A 1-8x FFP with ACSS, I will own one! Probably a couple if the price is right. I've been nothing short of thrilled with everything I own with the Primary Arms logo on it. |

A humble suggestion: If you're going to come out with very high quality glass in the over $1k+ range (even if it still crushes the competition in quality per dollar) you might want to come up with some sort of premium brand identifier. Primary Arms Elite, Premium, Advanced, etc.... It might be a bit jarring to otherwise come out with a scope that is roughly 4x the price of anything else you offer. For anyone who doesn't understand the finer points of optics, a 1-8x ffp that costs 4x as much as a 1-6x sfp of the same brand may seem out of place. I understand the difference, but I'm not sure others will. That being said, maybe those that won't understand aren't the target market to begin with, so there's that... |
