Any idea when we might see a 1-8 FFP in the silver or gold lines?

maybe I am old school, but I love a 2 or 2.5-10 x 32 FFP MIL. I think it's just about perfect...it could be a 12 or 14 even, just not huge. The PST Gen2 is just about right IMHO, 32mm objective is plenty. Smaller would be better, closer to the Nightforce without being $1800.
Not sure if this setup is now irrelevant with 1-10X coming around, but IMHO an FFP at 1X, well, I have not seen it done right yet (I have tested SWFA 1-6 FFP, looked through the NightforceNX8, and read others saying the same about some of the 1-8 and 1-10 offerings. So, some firsthand plus corroborating evidence :) thanks! |

How about an illuminated 34mm SFP 1-4.5x with a specialized reticle and parallax focus for use in NRA / CMP High Power Service Rifle Competition for under $350.
You don't have anything like that and...it will sell. More and more competitors are switching from metallic sights to magnified optics since they've become legal for competition. |

GLx series with Athena, and/or R-Grid-2B in which the entire ret illuminates.
Using the tiny 0.5mil holds in brush doesn't work so well, however the scope is nearly flawless, otherwise. |

The gold line has taken care of most of my previous list so ill add a few things I've thought of since this thread started.
I love my 2.5-10 glx with the griffin mil reticle. id love to have a couple more but I cant buy but so many scopes in that price range (I'm sure I'm not alone), I would love to see a 2.5-10 in the silver line with turrets like the 3-18 or capped turrets. A short 34mm tube 1-4, ffp with a donut and chevron, daylight bright illumination and generous eye box. "green dot" models of your red dots and maybe a gold and platinum line of red dots with prices that still beat the shit out of competitive/comparable options. spotting scope with a mil grid A newer generation of the platinum line, maybe with some more compact high power optics like we are seeing from other brands now and definitely give them the turret features that the gold line got. |

There definitely needs to be a 1-8 FFP in the Gold line.
The ACSS Raptor reticle (both the 5.56/.308 and the 7.62-39/.300BO) as well as the Griffen MIL reticle. The 1-8 is just a VERY functional optic for so many purposes and would like to see it offered with better glass than the Silver series. (although Kudos to the 1-8 FFP SLx.....just picked one up and it looks much nicer than the normal SLx line scopes) |

Open center, open center with a dot, modern Christmas tree except without the chevron (sorry). I am waiting for GLx Athena to come back in stock, but if PA offered something like the EBR7C (except with 0.5mil holds like Athena and R-Grid) I'd buy it over everything else. Since I'm here, R-Grid needs 100% illum, like Athena. My GLx is awesome, but the 0.5mil dots are so small, they get lost on any soft of target with a background that is busy (terrain of any kind except a blanket of snow, tile roof, brush, etc). |

How about a 2-10x32mm SLx?
Or a 1-10x32mm, but no one seems interested in putting a reasonably sized objective lens on a 1-x. |

An affordable Primary Arms pistol optic that fits the RMR footprint would be a perfect pair to Palmetto State Armory's new affordable Glock 19 copy that they showed at Shot Show, now that Glock's patent has expired on the Gen 3.
Their basic version is $299. For $350, you get a version with RMR cut slide, suppressor height sights, and threaded barrel. So a Primary Arms pistol dot would make a budget Roland Special highly doable when paired with Palmetto's Glock copy, an affordable mounted light, and maybe either Primary Arms or Palmetto could make an affordable muzzle comp to go with it. If you coordinate with Palmetto about it, I'm sure you guys could make loads of sales putting it together as a package deal. A Palmetto Glock with a Primary Arms RMR, a comp, a flashlight, a few extra mags, some spare batteries for the RMR and light, and maybe a case of ammo, would sell out faster than you can put them in stock. Obviously you'd have to coordinate with Palmetto about rights to advertise the package on both of your websites, but I don't think that would be difficult to arrange. Also, EOTech's patent on the mechanism of a holographic sight has been expired for awhile now. When are we going to get a good affordable holographic sight, that actually uses a laser to project a reticle instead of an LED like normal red dots do? As far as I'm aware, the only other company that has taken advantage of EOTech's expired patent and marketed an actual holographic sight is Vortex, and theirs is still comparably priced to an EOTech. An affordable Primary Arms holographic sight with ACSS reticle would sell out faster than you can put them in stock. |

Daylight BRIGHT reticles in all your scopes with a physical reticle. Not daylight discernable, kind of. BRIGHT. Especially your first focal planes.
The poor battery life argument is irrelevant, as the physical reticle is always there in a dead battery scenario. And if someone needs their reticle nuclear bright all day and night long, they can find space to bring along a few spare 2032s. |

I love the HS503G joint venture w/ Holosun, but an update to it would be great. I have four, the latest of them (serial number wise) has a MUCH lower minimum brightness setting which is greatly appreciated for use under NV. Not sure if it is just variation between units or if the minimum brightness was intentionally reduced. Anyways, if PA were to make the following upgrades, it would just be wonderful
1. Drop the minimum brightness level to below what the naked eye can see. 2. Change the lens coatings to allow greater transmission of near-IR wavelengths. 3. Have a third setting where ONLY the chevron is on (better battery life and zero clutter) Those three things would greatly improve the product, especially for the growing number of us using MRDs for passive aiming under NVDs. In a perfect world, the following would absolutely knock it out of the park. 4. Integrate ranging stadia into the left and right side of the 65 MOA semi-circle like you do in some of your reticles (not sure if that is even possible w/ this type of optic) 5. Add protected windage/elevation turrets like in the HS503GU which is also a great optic. Please don't take this as me griping about the HS503G, I wouldn't have purchased numbers 2, 3, and 4 if I didn't like number 1 It's already a home run, why not turn it into a grand slam? |

I agree with this, one more great addition to the 3 & 5x prism scopes would be some direct mounting plate replacements for popular micro red dots that could replace the picatinny rail and be more streamlined. Biggest issue I see with the RT-3 is the integrated mount, so I agree with the above: make something similar that uses AP micro or MRO mounts and you'd have a winner. If the hight over bore has to be controlled for BDC usability then make it fit the mini-acog mounts. ETA: And I still want a lower cost alternative to the Vortex and Nightforce 2-10x32mm scopes. ACSS or mil/mil is fine. While I'm dreaming I'd like capped turrets and illumination, doesn't have to be daylight bright. Under $400 would be awesome. I'd probably buy at up to $500. |

No more buy 999999 from China cheap so you can offer lifetime no questions asked warranty and just swap out items from your enormous stock. Plan to sell 5000, order 7500. Everything will have to change. Will be interesting to see if, a year from now say, there is open hostility towards companies still manufacturing in China. Could cost mfg's a LOT of money in sales. "NOT Made in China" will be the new sales pitch. |

PA,
Dimitri has really outdone himself with the Griffin MOA reticle in your 1-8 Platinum scope, but have you guys thought about letting the reticle trickle down to the other 1-8 SFP and FFPs in your line up? I do understand that you'd want to save your best reticle for your premium models, but for a company that has built its reputation and made its living on the brilliance of its reticles, you really should make your masterpiece available to a broader market. I'm not talking about any of the features of the Platinum series scopes, just the Griffin MOA reticle. Transplanting that reticle exactly as it is into the cheaper 1-8s and 1-6s for those of us who can't swing the expensive models so we can enjoy that ingenious reticle design too. Consider it. Bill |
