Hey, Primary Arms - continuing off of the SLX 1x microprism thread here. Any news on that 3x, even a rough ballpark timeline? I'd love to see a worthwhile ~$300 ACOG competitor that actually looks the part.
|
|
|
ditto
|
|
|
They do have their Gen 3 of the 3x prism optic.
Anyone have input on those? |
|
|
Be nice to see a 4x for once.

I’m not sure on this but primary arms could be holding off on releasing the 3x micro prism because they still have the SLX 3x gen 3 in 5.56 still on preorder. They probably don’t want the two competing at the same time. I myself am holding out for the micro 3x
|
|
|
|
I honestly wonder if they're using the same OEM supplier. I guess we'll see if the 3x also has 1 MOA adjustments like the Spitfire.
|
|
|
Aside from the reticle, the Vortex has HD glass but non daylight bright illumination. Last I saw PA said they were going to have daylight bright illumination in their’s.
I’m personally more interested in a 5X with an offset MRDS, not top mounted. My old PA 5X lost a ton of optical clarity at about 250 yards, so I’m REALLY hoping they improve the glass like Vortex did. |

So Burris was wise enough to sell it with a cantilever mount ?
I hope everyone else takes notes |

Not much better for sure. Flat brim wearers running the product design/marketing departments at both.

The GLX 3x is $369. That's not far off your ~$300 and the quality over the Slx line is considerable.

That thing is 15 and a half ounces. The Burris, Vortex and Primary Arms are only ~8 ounces with mount and battery. Not even in the same class. |

LOL @ everyone giving the 1x MP a hard time for 1x clicks when the competitors have 1x clicks on 3x magnified prisms..

I was looking at the Trihawk but that thing sits way too high for my liking. Vortex looks nice, but IIRC the battery life was something small like 150 hours... Sure it has an auto off but I dunno man.. Eww. Waiting on the PA Micro 3x |

But like I said earlier, the built-in non-removeable mount is what I hate about it and why it ended up on a Sig 522 instead of something centerfire. I don't know why they didn't design it with a removable Aimpont or ACOG pattern mount. It really makes no sense. It's a fantastic sight otherwise. |

If it was a GLX i would Get one but a SLX I’ll stick with a better prism like Steiner and Trijicon.
I am going to buy a few 2x GLX for the better half and I . |

PA says there is no glass quality upgrade.
So with the Vortex you get better glass and mount options, with the PA you get daylight brightness. Kind of a shame we can’t get all at once but nothing is free in this world. |

Man these prices kill it for me. I want one to replace a 403B. That's all the real estate on this one so it has to be micro for me, but $400+? No thanks. Was hoping for sub $200 or close
