The world still needs a T1 base that will clamp on to a 22 dovetail mount. Lots of marlin 60s need a PA MRD

A very lightweight 1-3 or 1-4 power scope, most likely 1" tube for weight. Basic, simplified ACSS reticle. The microdot of LPVO's. |

In order of interest, an LPVO that is:
- daylight bright (true for all mag. ranges) - 1-10 - has bars/German reticle/whatever you want to call it +ACSS (which is the bee's knees) And if I'm getting really pushy, expand the FDE offerings or, dare I say it, tanodize Also: - Throw levers pls |

I mean, I know boomers go to bed early, but it gets dark at like 5pm this time of year. On topic: I'd like to see a GLx 4X I like everything about the GLx 2X, but I want a 4x I've got one of the (first gen?) PA Compact 4X prisms, and like it, but would love something lighter and even more rugged, especially if you could incorporate a larger fov like you did with the 2x. |

I'm sure you guys have tons of projects going on, but any chance of a monocular (8x or 10x) that has the ACSS reticle in it?
Something small and pocket-able like the Vortex Solo, Brunton Echo, Bushnell / Bear Grylls monocular size wise Would be useful like a golf scope, practice your range estimations, spot a friends fall of shot at moderate distances |
|

any way primary arms develops a pistol red dot with a common footprint as rmr, a similar auto on/off feature, and amazing battery life? maybe even fully enclosed?
|
|
|
How about some teaser pics of a 1-10x LPVO!
|
|

A Holosun 510C that's made by you here in the USA. That thing checks every box, except that is from china, which really sucks. I'd buy four right now if there were a US equivalent.

You'd be able to mount Primary Arms Micros to telescopes to use as a star finder scope! IIRC they also use the same dovetail as 22lr rifles. An Advanced Micro would probably work well on my Meade telescope |

How about an extended eye relief prism? Something like your MD-25 and a bigger chevron for use on scout rifles, M1A Scout Squad, lever actions with XS sights Lever Scout mounts.

Pushing button at night with gloves on is impossible (unless you're wearing latex). With half offs one click either way will get you on target at night. Can't count the times pigs showed and I dialed the wrong way from zero (MFer). |

A Gold-series (GLx) 1-6 or 1-8 FFP LPVO with acceptable illumination, weighing ideally 1lb or less, capped turrets, and a chevron-center ACSS reticle.
My money is waiting. |

ETA: I know it seems picky, but I already have a 1-6 FFP that weighs right around 22oz before the mount. The only real gripe I have about it is the weight. PA's SLx 1-6 FFP is listed at around 17.5-17.6oz, and I was kinda hoping for a figure closer to that. |

I posted this in a 300 blk thread:
I would like a single optic with two separate emitters, one red, one green. It would have a switch that went off, red, green. The two emitters would have separate zeroing turrets. zero the red for supers and the green for subs. |

@MARSH1
Have you guys considered creating some binoculars with ACSS ranging capabilities? Maybe something like a 10x42 with horizontal and vertical mil dots, shoulder width marks, height marks, head circle size, Orion Deer/Hog body lines, etc. There are a number of instances where I'd like to be able to range with my bino's, without having to point my rifle at the "target". At least not at first... Or maybe a spotting scope would be more appropriate? Personally I'd prefer the bino's. |
|

How hard would it be to laser etch some "alignment" hash marks on the scope bodies (at least the GLx and PLx lines)?
Similar to how Odin Works makes an alignment hash on their gas blocks and barrels to get them lined up easy peasy. This way, if there was a mark at Top-dead-center you could at least get it very close to aligned with the American Defense and Larue style mounts that clamp from the sides. Maybe a has at 9, 12, and 3 |

double tap

also, It seems like the 6.5 Creedmoor reticle in the GLx and PLx lines is popular (I just got a PLx with the 6.5 reticle....In fact, the reviews of the scope are what made me not only buy the scope....but buy a 6.5CM barrel and loading dies that I've been on the fence about for almost two years!!!!!!) Usually you buy the rifle then get a scope......your scope made me excited to try this new caliber.
That said.....6.5 Grendel is also widely popular in the last 4 years and still gaining ground. How about an Apollo or a Raptor reticle specifically for the Grendel? |

A 1.93” and 2.26” mount for the microdot.
A lightweight GLX, 1”, 3-9x40 with a FFP ACSS Griff X Mil. Illuminated of course. |
|
|
How about an ACSS Vulcan with a Romeo1Pro/DPP base to fit Sig P320's without needing an adapter plate?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while.
A PLX series 3-18x(42-44) FFP with an an illuminated ACSS 22lr reticle with the tree like on the Apollo for the 6.5 Creedmoor. So, basically the same scope parameters as the PLx 6-30x56mm FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated ACSS-Apollo-6.5CR but setup with a .22lr ACSS tree in the 3-18 range, also with appropriate adjustable parallax range. Intended use is .22 target shooting. |
