Dang, Primary Arms is getting into the Made in USA/Europe price range. Hard pass. View Quote The next closest thing to this kind of optic that is US made costs over three times as much. While $250 is a lot for a Chinese optic, I'd say this one stands out from the rest. It's still cheaper than the Burris AR332 too. Though Burris is coming out with a new line of prism sights, I don't expect their prices to drop either. Looks like any doubt of them coming from the same factory is gone too, as the new Burris has the same updated body. Burris is supposedly going to have a 1X, 3X, and a 5X option with their XTR horseshoe. |

Burris is supposedly going to have a 1X, 3X, and a 5X option with their XTR horseshoe. Burris set the bar for lower priced prism scopes and we will continue to support their brand as well. We took a different approach with this and the new 4X. I wanted a better product than our previous 3X and did not want anyone to thing we copied someones design. The factory these come out of never made this kind of product before. They are used to making a variety of high quality product on higher quality machines than the traditional China scope factory. Dimitri designed a world class reticle and I am happy with the outcome. We continue to offer the highest quality US and European brands and are not saying these are anywhere near Acog quality. That said I think once the reviews start coming in the $249 price will be seen as the bargain it is. |

While I have no doubt this scope is worth all of $250, and there will be one on my Christmas list, your past low prices for optics has us all spoiled.

any pics with the QD mount? Already have the PA red dot...and I have a feeling I'd be swapping them a lot depending on my mood for the day!

Is that the PA reflex ?
I can't wait to purchase my 2.5X -- will be buying this week ! |

Burris FastFire. To show the accessory rail. I don't think you will need or want a accessory 1X red dot but the platform will accommodate one, |

I like it.
And I find the lack of retarded rails on it to be refreshing!!! |

Finger adjustable turrets?
Zero locking or resetting? Maybe too much to ask, I know.... |

Would this sight coexist with a Troy Micro Tritium BUIS system?

|
Hey marshall, would those fit THIS mount?
Assuming those are real those are a great deal and would be sweet on that optic |

Your previous products were "disclaimer"-able due to low price ("not intended for combat" etc)
At 250$ I'd expect some torture testing, repeatability, durability-claims. You've earned your name and I'm sure we'll believe you if you claim it's good to go. But my first impression is very Daily show like; where the left wing indoctrinator can always fall back on "I am a comedian, it's a Comedy show take it easy " if he goes to far. I doubt we'll see many issues with any of yor products. But at 250$ It is going to be hard to fall back on "we are primary arms, this is not a combat ready scope". If this is 50-60$ less than entry level mil spec products (eotech 512 aim point c3) then it better be just that much short of their quality too. In sum: this is exactly the scope I'd want, And you won't Have to convince me that I need to spend $250 to get it what I want. But you will have to convince me to spend $250 on a primary arms scope |

Not sure where you are seeing $300 EOtechs and you are comparing a non magnifier optic to a prism scope. Our red dots sell for the same price they always have. Military Grade Prism scopes (Acogs) sell for $850 and up. It has been extensively tested. Dimitri has posted some of those videos. The reticle just flat out works as advertised. It is not Acog quality and could not pass torture tests that a Acog could pass. It is exactly $71 more than the Primary Arms product that is replaces. That was our most popular product of all time This one is better in every respect and we pay a royalty to use the Patent Pending reticle . I still would not recommend a $250 scope for duty use. Would you??? As previously mentioned duty scopes are in a completely different price range. We stock, sell and use plenty of them. If someone has the budget for a Acog that is the way to go. You say it is exactly the scope you want? Is it for duty use? Like many of our products people that think they might want a higher end product (in this case an Acog) will start with one of these. They will verify that a low power fixed with BDC reticle is what works for them and then upgrade. Put the entry level product on another rifle or sell it. Since we discontinued the 3X I have seen them sell for more than our orig selling price. For many it will continue to fit their needs. If anyone on AR15.com want to try one it will be at no risk. If want to try it for 30 days and if you don't like it we will take it back and eat all the shipping. |

I just meant to give over my first impressions of that price.

So about these "auto-lead" dots..... thats twice the average walking speed and half again more than average jogging speed and at the high end of running speed.
But more to the point, at what range? |

View Quote The leads are set to 8.6 it's the average speed of a sprinting target holding a weapon. The leads are effective from 50-300 yards. the outer edges of the small horseshoe are at walking speed. Snipers use this lead to control insurgents from crossing roads. It's really handy when engaging targets with lateral movement. If your targets is moving slower or faster simple hold less or more. the lead difference between 50-300 yards is about 2 moa and the size of the dots. At 300 yards it's over a 4' hold so it really helps with knowing where to aim. Dimitri |

I have one on order. It is going on a Bushmaster .308 MOE rifle I have on the way.
BTW, they are having a Christmas sale on these wherein you order the scope at its normal price, and you can get a free quick detach mount for nothing with it. The QD mount is like $70.00 by itself. |
