329.99?
Wow. Lower then I expected for a 1-6. Either way. The market needed a lower priced 1-6. Not that it matters but I wonder of its even close to a true 1x? Or more along the lines of a Chinese leupold VX3 clone at 1.5-5.6 |

Wow, I almost bought a 1-4x PST yesterday, but this seems a lot closer to what I'm actually looking for.

No chance of FFP? Still for that price point, nice optic.

I'll probably pick one up if they turn out to be decent. The older I get the more I appreciate magnified optics.

I would imagine this will be a pretty popular scope among AR users considering the features and the price. Hell, they even have an unconditional lifetime warranty on the scope, so it isn't like giving one a shot will be a financial risk.

I'm not arguing any of that. I was just saying that an inexpensive, quality 1-6 is not new to the market. |

I'm not arguing any of that. I was just saying that an inexpensive, quality 1-6 is not new to the market. Considering the unavailability of the product until this last month, I barely consider the primary arms scope to be a viable "product". I highly doubt the Vortex production will be so low, as to sell out their handful of scopes in a day, and have a silly "one per household" limit. Hopefully the glass is a lot better than the PA scopes as well, which is far from impressive. The 1-8x PA scope with the better glass and manufacturer has my interest though. |

ETA Shutupandtakemymoney.jpg I shoot 3-gun and hunt grouses and both of my rifles has exposed turrets in their scopes(Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 in 3-gun AR and Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50 in CZ 527 .223 bird rifle) and I never had any problems of accidental adjusting, Vortex turrets has pretty stiff clicks. Also, I don´t like BDC reticles because they are always dedicated for certain loads. For quick elevation correction I prefer reticle with mrad markings. Let´s say that BDC reticle has marks that matches with 55gr 3000fps load and the ammo that I´m using is 77gr 2600fps, so the reticle´s range marks are for quite random ranges at that point. But, that´s just like my opinion, man. 
Probably I´m gonna buy that scope even with capped turrets. |
