Hey all, I have a meeting coming up about planning ahead for future optics projects for our brand. If you've posted up "Hey, why don't you guys build a ..." in the past or if you have a really cool idea for an optics product, here's your chance! What is the product that doesn't exist right now, that you would want to buy with the Primary Arms name etched on the side. And GO!

-Spotting scope with a mil grid reticle
-Rotary dial red dots with a circle dot and acss reticle -Orion reticle in the new 3-18s with illumination or upgrade the 4-14 to have illumination -expedite the 2-10 optics with lots of reticle options, grids and hud dmr especially -optics with green illumination - 1-8 and 1-6 FFPs -chevron tips instead of the dots in the 3&5x prisms That's a lot I know, I love yalls products, can't wait to see what's coming down the pipe! |
| I'd like to see the 4-14x44 ACSS scopes in Wolf Grey. Maybe something along those same lines with a big more magnification, say 5-20x50 with FFP and ACSS but somewhere around the $400-500 price point. I'd love to grab one of the 6-30x56 Platinums but I'd like to see something of that nature in a non-platinum version with more economical price. |

ACSS in the new red dot for sure. New red dot made in the U.S. like you talked about before 
Another idea is not for an optic but for a T1 micro mount - I like the idea of being able to have something like an Aimpoint QRP-2 for the Micro. That way you have something that you can tighten down and still be able to take it off easily if you need to instead of just having a QD lever. Make these and sell them for a good price to go with your red dots and a lot of people will buy them. I hate the idea of having to have a tool to take off my sight if it fails so I always get QD mounts but I don't mind the design of the QRP and it should be fairly easy to make something similar and nobody else has done it that I know of. If you make them sturdy enough you'd even have folks putting them on their Aimpoints too because a lot of people don't like that they can't tighten down a QD lever the way they like. And lastly another non optic but sight related idea - It would be cool if you guys made your own set of fixed BUIS. Wouldn't even have to be flip ups just a simple fixed front sight and perhaps even rear sight for us who like back ups. I know the Troy's are pretty nice for $50 or so but it's just another idea and something else that would sell if they were made decent and priced competitively. |

These are great so far, thank you guys! Keep 'em coming!
I'm happy to say that what you are saying matches up nicely with a lot of the stuff we talk about doing here. We are on the same page, and that makes me happy because it makes me feel like we are in tune with the people who use our products. |

Also a TA-11 with the ACSS, love the reticle, would really love it with the ta-11's eye relief, pretty please, in green
Although a PA 3x prism with a green ACSS reticle and a chevron tip could hold me over if it hit the market first

Quality that won't break the bank. Comparable size wise to the nightforce nxs compact. The new Acss mil grid thats in your 1-8 platinum. 2. Small, simple IR laser that uses the same l3 and dbal cable. Takes a AA battery. Like the Steiner otal. Or slaved with a green laser and cr123. Uses dbal mounts. I like to Larue or ADM just about everything. 3. 1.93" high mount for 30mm scopes. Same as yours now, just taller. 4. A 3x without the large koala bear horshoe. Just the inner horseshoe and replace the dot with a Chevron. |

Another thought I had on a product I wouldn't mind seeing progress is your 6x Magnifiers. I have seen so many generations of the 3x but prefer the 6x on my ACSS dot for the extra magnification. The 6x magnifier is nice but any advancements that could be made to it would be welcomed - more eye relief - greater field of view - etc. Keep up the good work guys!

2-10x32 with an ACSS reticle. Lightweight models using colored phosphorescent paint instead of electronic illumination. A deal worked out with Trijicon to use fiber optic illumination. A super light, super compact 1-4. Think the Weaver 1-3 that still sells like crazy, despite no illumination. |
1. An RMR/Reflex type sight...that I can mount on top of your prisms 
2. High-magnification (6-24X) value ($500) scope (Maybe the 3-18 will do it for me) 3. A continued increase in warranty length - love the lifetime warranty on some of the new scopes Other than that, keep up the great work! |
|
Water-resistant RMR type of sight for slide mounting on a pistol. No huge, clunky buttons, a slide out battery tray and long battery life, please! A "standard" mounting profile (same cut as an RMR, J-Point, or whatever) would be cool too, but not a deal breaker.

There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?
|
Low mount prism options for non ar rifles. More acss reticles in red dots. Keep on keeping on making optics tougher, clearer, and improving battery life for us budget minded folks. ****low light level settings on illuminated optics. The lowest setting on my 4x prism is way too bright and I can't see past the reticle when it just starts to get dark. A couple faintly visible in dark settings would be nice. 50k battery life would be cool too. |

The ACSS if we want to mount it on a rifle and a rmr style reticle if we want to mount it on a pistol (glock or M&P not AR pistol) I’d buy four of them right off the bat. Oh, NV compatible is a must. (Sorry to guys who think you’ll only get into a gun fight during daylight hours. Some of us train for all threats. Not just daylight ones. Oh, and again, while we are in dreamland please make a MAWL only price it at about $1000-1500. Like where the MAWL should be. Or maybe the new dbal a4 v2. Awesome ir illuminator with a 600-1000 lumen white light built in. Omfg I’m creaming in my pants just thinking about and affordable MAWL or a4 v2 |

The answer I've gotten from other people in the industry when I asked them was "It won't look like a tactical scope, if you put a big bell on the front it'll look like a hunting scope and the buyers will be confused and it wouldn't sell."
I won't say which company told me that but yeah. Wow. |
