Patiently waiting. . .luckily I don't have to hold my breath much longer because I trust PA to release a product with a pretty good schedule, unlike PSA where we need to wait 87 years for a product to release after it's announced.

Quoted: Will the spacers for the Cyclops 1.0 work with this? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes I doubt it. Those spacers are for T1 style optics/mounts.

View Quote Aimpoint isn’t an American company, and the country of origin is what is considered the socialist utopia of the world. 68% of the money you give Aimpoint goes straight to their government.

I'm very fond of it so far. I'm working to compare it to a first generation primary arms cyclops, a traditional aim point red dot T1, and a couple of other optics in the same class.

Holy gerbil. That look sexy as hell. How is the eye relief? FOV?

Does the reticle brightness actually compare to the red-dots that this optic is intended to compete with?

I can confirm that the ranging hash for 200 yards is dead on, tested on my unknowing distant neighbor while in his driveway at a measured 200 yards.
No, the optic was not mounted to a firearm at the time. |

If u can take an average height person and fit them into the top bar and lowest bar...they are 200Y away. Understood. I have other PA range-estimating scopes. But the drop from 100 to 200 is about 2 inches. If my presumption of 100/200 is correct then (on a 1X optic) the tip of the chevron to the underside of the chevron represents 2 inches at 200 yards. Are yo usaying tat the tip of the chevron to the first hash mark represents 2 inches at 200 yards? That can't be right, unless the etching is microscopic--but hey, maybe. I could believe the tip of the chevron to the UNDERSIDE of the chevron being the 200 yard drop--and perhaps the open horseshoe bottom being 300? |

no, the horizontal hash marks are not for aiming reference points, only range finding. The top ranging bar is for 200 yards.
On the aiming reticle, for a 556 16" barrel, the top tip of the chevron is 100 yards, the interior corner (the crotch?) is 300 yards, and the bottom of the legs is 400 yards. There is no 200 yard aiming mark. |
