Ehhh y’all see leupold brought back the mark 4 series but is a SIGNIFICANTLY more cost effective mark5 essentially? I wanted a mark 5 so bad last year but the 500 for adding illumination made me so soft. I ended up with a nightforce nx8 2.5-20x50 instead. Had leupold released the 2.5-10 mark 4 in illumination ffp for only 1200 like they have now ida also bought a sandman s with the extra money I had leftover. Leupold is killing the game this year. But what do you expect when you get DOD contracts as your bread and butter? I’d be like LMT and go zero money in marketing because those who know, know it’s the best you can possibly buy which is why the best have them. Can’t really blame AimPoint and leupold for staying at the top of the food chain. However that sig Romeo 4 XT pro has officially won my heart as my piggyback optic and I thank Sig for twisting my arm into liking them post the Swiss to usa move.

The thing is, a lot of our traditional favorites dispise the civilians that buy their products and focus on military and " law enforcement" organizations. They mostly refuse to sell the new stuff to disgusting civilians. They also refuse to allow the gross into their armory classes to learn their products.

Thumbs up to Primary Arms! If you're listening to customers then please make a mount for your magnifier that flips the magnifier either into position or out of the way and that also has a Quick Disconnect release. Many of us want the ability to take off the magnifier when it isn't needed, but also have the ability to quickly put it back on when needed and without using a tool.

@brandonrupp5880 6 ай бұрын

Please put a locking elevation turret on the plx-c. It's got enough magnification to shoot at distances where wind matters. I'd love to be able to run it up 3-4 mils and just hold for wind.

Please allow me to be among the first to congratulate you [Primary Arms] for listening. I am one of those individuals that _relentlessly_ badgered you for an expanded line of GLx optics. The GLx series has quickly become my preferred optics line for general purpose configurations. FWIW, I reserve the PLx optics for serious applications only along with another manufacturer that shall remain nameless. Clearly you take what you have learned from the SLx series and applied that to the GLx. This begs the question: What would a PLx Prism even look like?! I will be waiting for your response come Shot Show 2025. Nevertheless, Thank You in triplicate. Stay classy my friends. Side note - You can fit a surprising amount of stuff in the C8 Corvette.

I very much appreciate companies like PSA and holosun. Yeah, I dont personally own any of their products. Triarc, bcm, trijicon, surefire, steiner, etc is the stuff I got post military when I got into guns as a hobby. It's expensive and it took me years to acquire/afford that stuff. Looking back on it now... a ton of that stuff is needlessly overpriced (government contracts, american made, and juicy proft margins all play a part). I mean, its great stuff (triarc did take a massive dump after I bought from them tbf). Seeing companies like PSA, holosun and primary arms really bridging the gap and bringing quality, capable stuff to the market at more affordable prices makes me happy af. Is it all "just as good?" Maybe, maybe not. But it seems like it's getting damn close at significantly lower prices. And honestly...I'm thinking of making my next build using stuff primarily from these companies. Worst case scenario, I end up with a capable setup at a fraction of the cost of a more gucci build. Best case scenario...I kick myself for spending as much as I have on gucci stuff when I could've saved more of my hard earned money.

You know what I'd like to see? I would like to see them at the BDC to the 507 C Vulcan handgun sight. If they can make it to where you can turn it on and turn it off that would be even better but I'm shooting my Glock 19 out to 300 yds I'm just kind of holding up in the air somewhere. Once you get it you get it but that initial figuring it out process with no reference point sucks. Plus it would be good for the people that we use these for pcc"s

With this reticle technology you can not have floating elements. It is not an etching. to have floating elements you have to change to a different illumination or a dual focal plain. Both of those options are vastly more expensive.

This is going to be my sticking point. I'm newish to the world of LVPO and the eyebox is where I'm losing time at my current skill level. While I can surely train through it, at the moment, I'm way quicker to first shot with my red dot. When get o. The gun for the LVPO, I'm only seeing black or partial black, then I have to move my eye into position. However many tenths of a second that is, I don't have to take that additional time with the dot. I'd already be on target and maybe even shooting already.

Their new prisms dont have a mount like their previous prism models, and their PLx scope cap with a red dot mount is A) only for the PLx mount B) only for RMR, so you cant piggyback over a prism or over a scope if you go through PA.
