I am looking to get one of your Primary Arm red dots with a 3X Magnifier. I am looking for something with good battery life and a 2MOA or 3MOA dot. Was hoping to see what the good folks at Primary Arms are thinking. This is a work gun and doing the optic on a budget. I've heard great things about ya'lls optics but they have changed a lot over the last year or so.

I'm looking at the Primary Arms AA Battery Red Dot (GEN 3) and want a 3X Magnifier with a flip away mount or at least QD. not sure which mount of the optic I need to get at his point and which on of the Magnifier mounts are good to go.

Work as in LE? Then EOtech or Aimpoint for the red dot. Our 3X LER in a ADM, LaRue or Sampson flip mount if you have to keep the overall cost down.

Yes Marsh1 in LE. My is my long term buy is a Aimpoint PRO had bad luck in the military with the EOtech. I was looking for a short term work sight which would be moved to my play gun in about 10 months. Also my agency has been kicking the idea around to put cheap bushnells on all the guns but not sure if they were still thinking about it or not. I showed y'alls webpage to him and he was wanting to see one and play with it.

Ours are in the same class as the Bushnell. Our new models offer several advantages but if you are putting your life on the line look for the best deal on an Aimpoint PRO.

Any chance of those Aimpoint PRO's going on sale any time soon?

Im curious what exactly drIves you to say that?
I'm not saying your wrong. You know better than we, but whybrid exactly?

Especially after watching that guyv who shot the older red dot twice with a shotgun and it kept working and zero.

Lower failure rate. We have gotten pretty damn good but when you life is on the line a .001% in failure rate could make a big difference!!
