Primary Arms is very proud to announce our newest micro red dot, the MD-RB-AD. “Microdot, Removable Base, Advanced” takes everything we’ve learned from our years of red dot experience and pushes it a step further.
What makes MD-RB-AD better?
This little micro dot has been a long time coming, and we are proud to bring it to our loyal customers for just $149.99. They are in stock and ready to ship today! You can find out more and get yours here, so check it out! https://goo.gl/eotL4a |

Very nice. I have two other PA red dots and they have held up well. I'll be ordering one in the near future.

You are going to sell a bunch of these. To me. After Christmas.

Way to easy to make the pocket book lighter

Looks like a promising site to use for training and range work, I'm down for one or two.

Argh!
This really makes another Aimpoint purchase much, much tougher . . . |

Looks incredible. Can’t wait to try one!

When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

I can see myself buying several of these.

|
Very nice, and I like the price as well!
|
|
|
These look great.
|
|
|
[sigh] I'll stick to the red dots with a circle/dot reticle, like the HS503c. Just prefer that configuration for fast target acquisition.

SO 100.00 holiday pricing sale???

Wow lifetime warranty and the dial, Maybe I'll get a few of these one for a .22 and one for a 12g since I cannot justify a Aimpoint for either. Maybe some black Friday pricing make me jump quicker.Looks good.

Jesus christ you guys need to use a different font for your company branding.

If you're like me and you're a high drag low speed chubby white dude who likes to knock over steel plates at 100 yards on a square range every other weekend, our optic should last a really really long time doing typical range day stuff like that. |

ETA: $69.99 "blem" MDS (read description in quote box below). The MD-RB-AD-SP comes with a removable 1913 MIL STD Picatinny base. With the base removed, the scope body is NOT compatible with industry standard micro mount systems. The scope body was machined incorrectly at the factory, so MD-RB-AD-SP is ONLY compatible with the removable base and riser mount that are included with it in the box, and will not fit other aftermarket mounts. MD-RB-AD-SP is considered a factory blemished optic for this reason. |

Does the blem one come with a taller mount and base in? If so, is it lower 1/3?

This PA Optic is good for 99.5% of the guys that have a 40hr a week job. Secret squirrels, black ops, super ninja, contractor no name tag guys are not 40 hr a week peeps. I have had my PA sight on my AK for 5 years. Still working and glad I paid the price for the item back then.
So PA here is my question for you........ what about the RDS that was purchased prior this this new awesome lifetime warranty? What if it happens to go down? Is the lifetime warranty avaliable? Just curious. |

Since I have my own milling machine, I'm kind of wondering if I can just machine my own base plate to adapt the "blem" version to a QD rail mount. Mine just arrived, and looks great! I have no problems using the supplied mount to stick it on a new pistol build, but it would be interesting to see where it's really out of spec, and if that can be surmounted.

So will it fit standard T1 mounts?

Any chance of this with the ACSS reticle? I love my ACSS reticle dots and would be in for a couple-few.

PA_Mike,
Will the KAC Aimpoint Micro Battery Cap work with the MD-RB-AD? Also, awesome post by the way (pressure differential)! |

If it does it would be PURE coincidence, I guarantee we don't intentionally match thread pitches to Aimpoint or anyone else. |

Mike I appreciate what you're saying when it comes to the this is no T1 it won't withstand a HALO jump into the ocean. While I understand the point you're making there, my question is would you consider this durable enough for LE patrol car work then?

Our best guess without doing further research is that you are probably going to be good to go until you get below -20F or so. At that point the rubber waterproofing O-ring in the illumination knob is likely to freeze up so solid that the knob won't want to turn and your illumination won't be adjustable anymore.

My rifle was too long, so I spent $200 and waited 6 months to make it shorter. Then it was too loud, so I spent another $200 and waited another 6 months to make it quieter. This made it longer again.
