Since they don't have an industry page and maybe one of you heathens can answer this question...
 Primary Arms Advanced Micro Dot 2017 When is this being released and why is it $130 more than the push button model? |

All the respectable "budget" red dot guys on the market keep scaling up into fancier more expensive things, meanwhile Bushnell is gonna be laughing all the way to the bank on the TRS-25's consistent sub $80 awesomeness. |

WTF.
Are the industry links not alphabetical?? I searched I swear! oops |

According to the guy in the video (he is a friend of mine) he was confused on the price and it will be well under $200 and be released soon. OP hasn't asked this in our Industry Forums so I'll do my mea culpa here. I'm the goober in the video above, at the time of SHOT Show we just had a couple of prototypes of this optic and as far as I knew pricing was still up in the air and we hadn't gotten a straight answer on what the cost would be. So, the line about the price being under $300 was me basically going, "Well, it can't possibly be MORE than that, so when it's less than that people will be pleasantly surprised, might as well play it safe, right?" Now this optic is much much closer to release and I have access to correct information. Our current top of the line MD-ADS red dot sells for $169.99 with a 3-year warranty, and I'm here to tell you guys, the new one is an improved unit with better waterproofing, metal turret caps instead of plastic, and a lifetime warranty, and it will still be well under $200, not $300. You saw it here first. |

HAHAHAH Foreal though, you need to participate in our college football thread. We have it every year, and once it gets closer to the season it's one of the most active threads in GD. Usually goes over 200 pages. You would bring a very unique insight to the rest of us couch quarterbacks. Mostly though, its lots of shit talking.

| I have a PA advanced micro dot with the two rubber push buttons on my work carbine. I probably have 4 grand invested in the damn thing and I regularly trust my life to it. I choose the PA dot because I have several and they've proven themselves to be every bit as reliable as an Aimpoint T-1 but at a much more reasonable cost. |

I haven't seen a new one less than $90 in some time. Both through PA and Amazon. They're a great dot and I have owned several that have all been flawless, but the TRS-25 can be had all day for $60 to $65 on Amazon new and is just as good. Quoted:

I regularly see it for $60 I'm willing to pay the extra $100 for 47,000 hours more battery life, much better durability, and avoiding the ugliest battery compartment ever made. Oh, and you get PA's customer service... as evidenced in this thread. |

And how much pain might your wallet need to prepare for when you purchase the full-size red dot? Quoted:

Real soon. Like, soon enough that I need to be geting my wallet ready to buy one for myself, because I want to put one on my retro M4gery. We used my cheapie retro M4gery for some glamour shots with the prototype scope, and it just looked and felt so damn right I'm going to buy my own production model and maybe even the same mount, and it'll just live there. I love this job.

Eotech style reticle with a dot option would be great. Auto on/off... I'm not a fan. Just another potential point of failure. Quoted:

Will it have the auto off / on and eotech style reticle as an option? . You can see there are actually two "0" settings there, one next to the "10" and one next to "N1".

It's a 2 MOA dot only, and there's no auto on/off, but the rotary switch has been improved, and I love it. Let me explain a bit. The last time we did a full size red dot like this, the rotary switch on the back would just turn continuously in either direction, so you had to look at the numbers or be looking through the scope to know when it's off. This time, we built a stop into the rotary switch, and an "off" setting at the stop in both directions. So when you want to turn the unit off, you just rotate the switch in either direction until it stops, and you're golden. You don't need to look through the scope, or at the scope, at all, you can turn it off totally by feel now. Way better. You can see there are actually two "0" settings there, one next to the "10" and one next to "N1". http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h50/PrimaryArmsLLC/PA30MMRD-AD_2_zpsauj2nj5o.jpg Quoted:

@PA_Mike Any updates on the release of the new micro? . |

Quoted:
Not sure. Working on back end stuff to get PA30MMRD-AD (the big one) ready today. I try to take these one at a time, there's a lot to do. But I know the micro looks great in black or in FDE and I'm putting the black one on my Krinkov. :) Thanks. I'm authorizing over time for you so you can get the big ones done and move on to the micro's. Just tell the boss man that I said it was okay. LOL. Thanks again. I'm really looking forward to the new micro release. . |

Will the lifetime warranty be coming to your prism sights?
Will you be updating the PA logo with a more Tier 1 font or logo on the red dot?
Do you guys anticipate ever being able to accomplish a RMR that's pistol rugged, long battery life, and at your famous price points? |
