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.

If Aimpoint moved to the US, just think how much cheaper they’d be. But no, they love their socialism and wish to continue supporting it. |

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.

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

True to an extent, but when it comes to prism optic technology, LED technology, and high output batteries, we’ve gone incredibly lazy in comparison. |

My cousin who is plagued with bad astigmatism and almost ever red dot is a bloom of red to him. He used my 5x PA prism optic and could see it when illuminated no issues. I believe all the prisms PA sells are etched reticle. |

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.  |

Presumably the tip of the chevron is sighted in at 100 yards, and the underside of the chevron is holdover for 200? |

Bottom bars are used for range estimation. If u can take an average height person and fit them into the top bar and lowest bar...they are 200Y away. |

Bottom bars are used for range estimation. 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. |
