So once available will PA be smart enough to put them on a smaller boat heading towards a gulf of Mexico port or maybe Florida, or will they have them sit off the west coast for four or five months waiting to unload followed by a couple more months before a truck is available?

I'll have something more detailed coming out in the next few weeks. In the meantime, based on the 3x I have been playing with, PA will make a killing with this new 3x.
I know many people have been disappointed that it is a part of the SLx line, but both 1x and 3x SLx microprisms are really exceptional for the money. The GLx 2x I have here is still better, but it is a larger prism design, so it is supposed to be. I hope PA is planning to make a 4x GLx to add to the 2x. They are really doing good things with these. I want a good quality compact 4x prismatic to use with a thermal clip-on for pig hunting. The 3x is a hair too short for the way I set these up or I'd use that one. ILya |

Looks like Guns America got their hands on one a little bit back. The reticle looks like the 1X with readjusted BDC which I like a LOT.

The Vortex's glass is also supposed to be superior compared to the SLx (allegedly). If the PA reticle is similar in size and (allegedly) worse glass, that may be concerning. But, I have not personally looked through the SLx 1x yet and it is getting pretty rave reviews in terms of reticle size and glass quality. Hopefully that carries over to the 3x! |

Assuming the POV picture in the Guns America article is real, it looks like they increased the reticle size like they did the 1X. I hated the old PA 3X. It was small and big in the worst of ways. It would have been a great reticle for a FFP LPVO, but fixed at 3X I wasn’t a fan. |

For them to use the bdc dots on these reticles, you have to think of it as a first focal plane scope. The lower the scope power, the smaller the reticle. I bought both the 1x and 2x and the dots and chevron on the 2x are pretty small. I can make out the chevron on the 1x. For the 3x, they should be more usable.

It is drilled for irons and fully dropped tested to not shift! |
