$1,999.99 is the asking price
Can it compete with Vortex, Nightforce, Leupold, etc? Can it be better?

The specs look awesome and I'm hopeful for it. The price is $2-300 higher than I expected.

Glad I ordered my NX6.

Had been eying this one and the new NF NX6 2-12.  The 2-12 is couple hundred bucks less and a better reticle  to me.  But still very interested in the PA given what it is.  Gonna wait a bit and see how the feedback from the community looks.

I came to the same conclusion as this.

I will also add the potential durability issues with the PA PLXc, specifically looseness in the mag ring and how PA has stated that is normal has me sitting this one out.

The way they do sales, clearances and open box demos all the time, I would never pay full price for any optic from them.

This.

PA makes some good optics.  They make some bad optics.

Definitely not worth the risk finding out the hard way when this may be blown out for 650 bucks early 2027.

Wish they had gone up to a 40mm instead of stopping at 36mm.

I like it's illumination design more than the NX6.

Waiting for a reviewer to do long term durability test before I decide between it and the NX6.

Agree, especially for $2k. Rather just buy another Leupold or try a Nightforce for that $. I do love their microprism optics. Have them on several of my firearms.

I bet it’ll be nice. At 1.8k even with my .mil discount, and especially pre-tax, we’ll just have to see man lol

For me it’d be replacing a 2-12 Steiner, and minus the different illum I really like the Steiner.

have been playing with one since SHOT and I rather like it.  I would probably prefer a different reticle and a zero stop elevation turret, but that would make the price higher.

As is, the reticle is very workable for typical SPR-ish applications and the illumination makes it surprisingly quick on 1.5x.  It works well with thermal clip-ons as well.

I posted an initial video on it a while back.

No zero stop on this?

Not on the current version.  It has standard covered turrets.  They do have good clicks and good tracking, but the intent with this scope as currently configured is to keep the turrets covered and use the reticle.

Why did YouTube remove your video?? It was great. Is there another link to it from a different video platform? I did end up ordering a NF NX6 2-12x MRAD scope though.
