What's the AD mil pricing going to look like? I was considering the Swampfox Blade @ $207 shipped with mil pricing but this looks pretty good too.

Ready for pre order, excited for this optic. Thanks MRW for the pics and review.

Email sent to customer service! |

Does my card get charged now or later for a preorder? How can I confirm I’m getting mil pricing, I applied but have not seen anything back via email.

Quoted: You will see a pre auth show up when you place the preorder. That drops off and will not be on your monthly bill. We don't actually bill it until it ships. Did the Mil discount show in the cart when placed the order. PM me you email address and I can check View Quote Edit: Good to go, thanks! ???? |

Things still looking good with the pre-order and may shipment.
I already pre-ordered mine and am excited. |

Okay, I just went outside at dusk and took these pictures https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/5205/PA_2x_Reticle_Dusk_75_yards_small-1316160.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/5205/TA45_1_5x_ACOG_Reticle_Dusk_75_yards_sma-1316162.jpg Note the field of view (side to side breadth) of the 2.0x PA v the 1.5x ACOG. It deceptively looks like the ACOG has more magnification, but it doesn't. The 2.0x PA shows a much larger view AND has slightly more magnification. The ACOG field of view feels very tight by comparison. The image on the ACOG photograph is not as clear as the PA because the sun was setting and I took the ACOG picture last. I will try to get some photographs that show the clarity of the two optics during full daylight. Also note how large the horseshoe is compared to the full circular field of view. It is not tiny at all, which was my primary complaint of the Cyclops. Etched reticle, adjustable diopter, bight illumination, great glass. I think this optic is a winner View Quote Also a 4x prism in the GLx line with the the acss reticle from the 5x slx prism would be awesome to see. |

What RS regulate upper will this use ? |

Okay, an AK mount? I has 3 standard ACOG type mounting holes on the bottom of the optic housing.

Please offer an FDE model. Make it a darker FDE so no one bitches about the color match.

Ok, I give up. Putting in a pre-order. The resolution, chevron/donut sizing and field of view just tick all the boxes I want for my SBR, along with the weight. I'm almost tempted to put one on my WWSD build and stick the GLx 2.5-10 on my older dmr type upper again. I won't be able to see bullet holes in the target anymore, but it'll shave the extra weight back off and per the pics in this thread it's more than capable of what I want at 200 yards or more. It's not like the upper's a precision build that needs the 10x for more precise aim, it's a 1.5-2.5moa with most ammo build that is super light and fast. Seems ideal for one of these.
eta: had to pick which to at least start with. I guess I'm putting it on the lightweight 16" build because I got the 223/308 version not the 300blk/commie version. I'll definitely be doing some videos on it once it arrives, more in depth and in the field than for the 2.5-10 since it won't be a frozen wasteland. I'm still loving that 2.5-10 and everyone who uses it is impressed. |

I just had a friend over to shoot the breeze and let him see the 2x. He peeked through it and liked it. Then I handed him my 1.5x TA-45 ACOG and his reaction was great, wait-this is the ACOG? damn.
Edit: to be clear, he preferred the PA. |

@MARSH1 do you guys have a plan for an FDE model? I think this might be perfect for my 10.5.

I video of the camera behind the rear lens would be great.

Interested!
Am i reading there is a shake awake and sleep feature for illumination? Can we get more details on how that works? |

Quoted: Interested! Am i reading there is a shake awake and sleep feature for illumination? Can we get more details on how that works? View Quote Per the owners manual: "This GLx 2x Prism Scope features the AutoLive™ reticle illumination technology, which turns your illumination off after three minutes of stillness to save your battery life – then automatically back on again at the slightest motion." AutoLive is very handy...but not so good if this optic is intended to be used on a weapon that will be kept in a vehicle...in which case, you can turn the shake awake feature off by turning the illumination knob to "0" (off). |

Hmmm...this sounds like a reasonable replacement for the ACSS RDS and magnifier to me.

Quoted: Filed of view, size of reticle in the viewing window, and clarity and crispness of the glass. He said he did not think the ACOG glass is better, and I agree, at least looking around my neighborhood on a bright sunny day from inside my darkened garage. View Quote Cool, thanks, I've always had an itch for a TA44 but just couldn't justify the cost for what this would get used for, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this optic. |

Can we get this reticle added to Strelok? I want to check drops before adding to cart...
Or what is the moa appended by the tip of chevron to the bottom corners and then tip to dots? |

Quoted: Let's me think about that. 1: The factory was shut down for two months and is backlogged for months. 2: We are in the midsts of the greatest panic buying ever seen. View Quote Thanks for the thought ! Look if you need toilet paper I have some or I can send you one of my garden hoses if you think your going to run out . |

View Quote Edited to add more humor and make it clearer I didn't mean it as a jab. Marshall's a nice guy and all, but let's face it, business is business and toilet paper doesn't grow on trees.... waaaaait a minute. lol. It's already a damn good price for what we're getting if the reports are even remotely accurate, and I have no reason to believe otherwise. Personally I'm looking forward to getting mine in. It still blows my mind that the 2.5-10x GLx videos are my most popular, so maybe this will not just be another great optic for me but a boost for my channel. 1k views between the two videos and I only have 12 subscribers, so clearly folks were workin that search function. |
