EDIT: Yards PLXC is in stock RIGHT NOW, it's going to be gone ASAP. Sorry for the delay. This video is over 3mo old. FYI: I'm still using this scope now (along side the scope switch). It really is my favorite LPVO. Just be sure to focus the diopter to the 1x, and I think you'll be impressed as well An no, I bought this scope with my own money.

Also yeah the CQB or whatever ACSS reticle is my favorite, simple, useable, helpful, fast, clear.

Brass Facts has 2 moods: - Easy to follow, realistically minded gear review, with minimal bias and an understanding of what normal people can afford. - "DOG"

No argument here. Likewise C_Does agrees with you. Yes the Primary Arms 1-8x24 PLx-c is an outstanding scope for anyone that is interested in spending over 1,500 dollars. I’m waiting to see what Primary Arms does with an improved GLx-c version. Long story short - love the scope, but hate the price.

As a PLXc enjoyer, I’m looking forward to watching this on my break. Nothing like a bit of purchase validation as a treat. Edit: I’ve watched it. I agree on all points. The reticle and illumination is the only thing keeping this thing from perfection. If it had the FCDMX reticle and the illumination of a Nightforce, it would be 10/10. That said, the reticle is still totally usable and I was able to get very consistent hits at 380m with my 14.5”.

Yes this is THE BEST option out there in my opinion. I love mine!! The bezel is also amazing because the glass just floats out front. With no massive ring glaring into periphery

I’ve been using the EOtech vudu 1-10 SR5 for a few months now, ≈1,200rds at this point with about 35% at 1X, 30% 3-6X, 35% at 10X. Most of the shots are at a flat range but I’ve used the vudu hiking in the woods, when on the 1X I now have to search for the distortion otherwise I guess my brain has grown to it and learned to disregard it

I miss my razor 1-6 e , but I sold them both for NV and finishing my Hk416 and I’m happy but now that I’m back in the market for an LPVO this one consistently keeps coming up as something that is worth buying for sure. I keep hearing great things about this thing and I really want one, everyone I’ve seen with it seems to LOVE it

I own 2 of these with the Griffin mil reticles. One on top of my 14.5” AR15 and one on top of my 16” AR10. Both are outstanding and perform really well. Would not hesitate recommending it to anyone looking for an excellent LPVO.

It's so hot outside, this video gives me much needed chills.

Get the Meters bdc if you want a bigger horseshoe at 1x over the other two options. I believe its double the size in width, its alot less busy at higher mag and less in the way of your target then the mil griffin and yards bdc.

I have the older Gen version that I really like. The 1x reticle adjustments they did on this version look fantastic.

I’ve been a PA fan for several years and they continue to impress

Good dog at the end. Put a smile on my face seeing it enjoy the snow.

Great vid Brass Facts! I had the griffin mil version of the PLxC 1-8. I liked it, but returned it because I was losing illumination on recoil (SR-15 Upper). Simple defect I assume. When I had it, I compared it to my buddy's Vortex Razor 1-6SFP Gen II-e and the Vortex was more comfortable to get behind and more usable for me. As C_DOES and BF have mentioned the slight difference between the scope focus at 1 vs 8 power bothered me enough to look for other options. This was my first LPVO to provide some context, but I figured I would put this comment up here. Overall its a cool scope (weight & price) but I wasn't in love with it. PA customer service was awesome and I look forward to getting more products from them.

That reticle fade from real time to overview was beautiful

After seeing your review on the Primary Arms SLX I bought one for $305 with mount. I’m new to LPVOs and this was my first one. I’m very happy with it especially with the Nova reticle. I guess the PLX is the gold standard now and maybe one day I’ll have one. Optic technology is moving fast and it’s expensive trying to keep up.

You’re videos keep getting better and better brother

Ive taken this scope(meter version) out to 539yds on a 6arc and it did great. Plan was to replace it with a NF 3-18 but as well as it did im not going to change it out. I swapped out the top cap with the optional dial and im glad i did.

I think one of the reasons that LPVOs are so ideal on a 5.56 AR is that the ideal range for a 1-8 LPVOs is 25-600 yards. (Really more 50 yards on the low but who cares) this also lines up really well 5.56 ballistically where 25-500 is going to be relatively flat shooting and still have enough energy on target. You can push it to 700 with the rounds and a 1-8 but it's going to struggle.

I love when ScopeFacts uploads new video

Really like mine, meter version. Only tiny complaint is I wish the BDC verticle reticle was thinner. Had good experience with their warranty after moisture got in a 5X prism scope I bought years ago

Its an amazing scope! I have the meters version on my 14.5 and plan on getting a second one.

This optic is outstanding I'm slowly getting rid of my other lpvo's and ordering the PLX-C.

Thanks for the video, I agree about the 1x and bought an SLX NOVA because I didn't want to run a 1x scope and have to run a red dot too.

Been waiting for this review, gracias!

I genuinely look forward to your vids Happy Friday

PLXc user here. Not watched yet but I agree. I like it more than my Vortex 1-10. Only problem is daylight bright reticle.

Best LPVO on the market in any price range in my opinion. Good vid.

I got lucky snagging one of these a short bit ago and one of the best things I don't think you got to mention was how good the 1x is on these. It really is fantastic.

I shall be purchasing this. Thanks for the affirmation

oh that wonderful consistent trigger control.

Yessirrrrskiii, that whole set up 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Your video editing skills have come quite a long ways. It would be great for you to do a video on your video editing skills, what you use and how you put it all together because some of us out here would like to make videos but don't know anything about putting it all together.

100 % right . Plx c with the M8 raptor is the best. I was saying a year ago. The complex M8 reticle is the only reason why I would use an lpvo. If I wanted something simple, I would just stay with the Red Dot with the 6X magnifier. In that case I can remove the magnifier at night for a lighter gun. If I'm going to carry a pound and a half on top of the gun, it better have a complex reticle that gives me lots of information.

This has been on my radar for ages. Well not ages, but when they released em.

I wish I had people like you that lived around me. I get so bored doing this all on my own.

5/5 bonus doggo footage Review was excellent too, as always!

I loved their older simple reticle. They are out of control now

Press-ALL notifications. Love your videos. I tell myself you don’t live in a house. You live among the topography.

My next optic! I’ll buy that rail-mounted zoom adjuster too for the heck of it.

Thumbs-up for adorable dog in snow footage. I think you said something about a scope too.

Thanks again for the excellent video. If it weren't for the current geopolitical circumstances I would look forward to a future when we can design and apply our own reticles and have different ones for different ranges and conditions on the same scope.

Have had mine almost 2 months and I’m loving it. I got the yards reticle and used strelok for holds and it works like a charm. I was going to buy an offset but there is no point, the 1x is perfect. This scope will ruin your other LPVOS

Well I sought out a PST Gen II MRAD on your constant recommendation, 350 on UTG, tossed it in a sweet Reptilia AUS and I love it.

I'm just sticking with my PST gen II. Little heavy, but I love it. Super fast on 1x and super passable to 400yds, and I much prefer SFP. Super clear, great eyebox, I just dig it.. and it was $450 on sale lol

1x reticle is the main reticle on an LPVO imo.. it should be setup as such with good clarity, reticle to the user, and then a useable 6x/8x

Have you tried the Kahles yet? I love the K16, hoping to check out the K18 this summer.

The part when you showed the 1x performance felt like literal magic, it almost looked like a red dot sight. Also for some reason there's some slight buzzing/hissing sound jn the background audio.

Maybe it was just my PLx but from 0-10 yards I couldn’t adjust the diopter correctly to have both the reticle and the lens image clear at 1x. Went to the NX8 and it’s 1x benefits outweigh the eye box negatives with zero blurry image.

I was really hoping you’d do this soon. I have a razor 3 and I’ve been considering trying out the Vudu or this one. Wish there was somewhere I could go actually try them at. You said it was in your top 3, what others would you put there?

Mine is out for delivery right now per your recommendation a while back! Took 5 weeks on back order.

for the requirement of magnification and 1x the best options right now are probably this Primary Arms LPVO or a TA31 Acog with red dot mounted on top.

Good review! Just wrapping up mine. I love that reticle though... But I'm a griffin fan boy haha -Walsh

If they come out with a day light bright one like their newest SLX that they just released, I'll be first in line to snag one.

Currently still running their budget 1-8 sfp. Been thinking of upgrading but haven’t nailed down what i want. This is pretty close on the list

When i was looking for an lpvo my main purpose was to replace a red dot and magnifier combo. I ended up with the Trijicon accupoint 1-4 with the simple triangle post reticle and it has served me very well. The eyebox is generous, the 1x is great, its super light at just over 14oz, and the tritium fiberoptic combo is bright as shit when you need it and is dialable when you don't (no electricle tape required).

Best part was your dog pulling his best SCARFACE impersonation.😂

💯% agree about the modern PA’s reticles being a victim of feature creep and waaay too busy. I love PA’s stuff, especially their prism scopes, but yeah………….

I wish theyd make this scope with the ACSS M2 reticle, the 3x I currently run has it and I generally find it to be a nicer reticle than the M8.

We need more videos of nova larping on the flat range man! But good video I really enjoyed it!

That backdrop @7:58 is amazing

Have you looked at the Marsh one to 10 Shorty dual plane?

Finished work, and now it's time to feed the algorithm.

Have the PA PLX-C on my HCS Mk12 Mod H right now. Digging it.

Good stuff. I think the weak illumination deserves a mention in context of 1x performance. Like you point out in the beginning, folks want LPVOs to function as an 'almost red dot' on 1x. The reticle features that help draw your eye to the center are useful, but a super bright dot is useful-er. I had a NX8 for a while and couldn't get over some of its flaws, but really appreciated the brightness of the reticle. I'm not a huge Vortex fan, but the Razors shine in the brightness feature, which is a huge plus at 1x. In this price bracket, I think I'd still opt for a Gen 2-e over the PLXC for the 1x performance + brightness. The weight savings and extra 2x are big pluses for the PA, but I can get over an LPVO being SFP as I'm typically gonna crank up to max mag on an LPVO if I'm shooting far enough to need hold data.

Excellent video! Subscribing for sure.

Bought this as my first lvpo. I love it although admittedly I have a lot to learn. Just got to stretch it out to 400 yards with green tip. Any tips on prone shooting? Neck always feels off and overall it just feels awkward.

I cant help but think that your over all impression may have been different with the Meters version vs the yards. The meters reticle is much cleaner and easier to use at range.

That giant chevron (and chevrons in general) just ruin it for me. It blocks so much of your sight picture when trying to shoot in the 200-300 yard/meter range with wind. But I do appreciate that PA finally added tall crosshairs that help you find the center on 1x without illumination.

For an lpvo, I prefer sfp. I do really like my razor gen 2-e. If they could put a better reticle in there with the same illumination and then magically knock it down to 15-18 oz, that would be as close to perfect as an lpvo can get.

I have the predecessor 1-8 plx acss griffin. I prefer it. Its not as busy its built for dialing and crystal clear. It is longer and heavier but i dont mind that for my purposes.

Question for Professor Brock. What lpvo scope would you suggest that does have adjustable parallax?

To make it perfect, take aluminum black to the logo. It takes a while but it looks badass.

I love Primary Arms hope I can afford the SLx 1-8x24 FFP with ACSS for .308 sooner rather than later or maybe the 2-10x with the MD-25 on top.

Thanks for all the great shots against the environment of what I'm guessing may be Utah? Looks like the west desert here. I've been trying to decide on a camo for that area, and was torn. Looks like Multicam is the one 👍

Keep up the no-nonsense video + cute dog shots. We'll even overlook your LARPing intro 😂

I'm doing a fairly high end 14.5" build and was going to just get a budget end sub $500 Lvpo just to get shooting. Was considering the Arken Ep-8 or one of the cheaper Primary Arms models but stumbled across the Athlon Ares ETR FFP 1-10-24 Lvpo on Optics Planet 28% off for about $750. My Dad has one of their high end long range optics and that thing is crispy. Definitely excited and hoping to get some good price/performance out of the Athlon.

i feel that the aurora is the best compromise for their reticles sans going to a mill grid and do-doing M A T H... lol if they DROP THE CHEVRON AND GIVE US THE AURORA DOT imo it would be the best

See this scope was made for people like me, im weird because i like reticles that most people would call "busy" and im not a fan of very barebones reticles. Your main gripe is my biggest selling point. It gives me a "donut of death" on a good 1x and then if i dial in for a more precise shot i have the reticle to assist in that extra precision. It also helps that i live in a *VERY* green world instead of a reddish-brown one so i dont need as much contrast to highlight my reticle. This might be the "perfect" LPVO for people who do live in a "green" world.

Hey man, just started watching you and Hop a lot and just wanted to say I really enjoy your content and it's been really helpful in sorting through the weeds of equipment, especially when it comes to NODs. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more content from ya! Quick question since you're the PDW man with the PDW plan, I've been setting up my PTR 9KT (PTR's MP5K clone) to do my best at filling the PDW role you've brought up before since I already had it, I've got an Eotech EXPS 3-4 and Surefire M300V on it atm and want to add a small IR laser so that the gun is also technically fully night capable (though I'm not expecting any laser I can fit on here to be particularly powerful at distance, it's going on a PDW anyways) and was wondering if you had any ideas/recommendations? Current plan in my head is mounting the M300V in the 9 o'clock position, a TNVC TOR-MINI IR to the 6 o'clock, and pressure switch for the Surefire to the 3 o'clock (context: I am also a lefty and prefer to grip the MP5K by the magwell, acts as makeshift VFG and I don't deal with the gun's heat after sustained firing as much) Also yes I know the 9KT is pushing it on the viability in the role and I do want to get a Flux Raider in the future, it does look sick after all, but this is what I've got *now* so figured I'd roll with it as best I can and make it work.

With all those stadia lines, i feel like if you were looking from a distance into heavy brush or a tree line, it may be difficult to detect slight movements due to not being able to recognize actual movement because it may look like something is moving if a line/lines move by a branch or shadow. Now that im done with that run on sentence, id say its way too busy. It may work for bench rest shooters but not practical for defense

You, Hop, and Deltathirtyfour have such stellar info. You all need 10m subs

As an owner of the older PLX 1-8, the PLXc is very compelling, especially in that weight category with a 30mm body. But I think I'll wait for the inevitable PLX Nova before I go for one or the other.

Just picked up the newly released peanut butter pickle fde model....excited

What's the best way to level your scope?

Nice work.

Id love to see a 1x6 plxc with a simplified acss reticle horseshoe dot. Bump up the illumination intesity

Do you think that LVPO's like the Steiner P41x or the Trijicon tr24 are still relevant? If so, which one of those two do you think is the better option?

I really like the Trijicon Credo 1-6 Red. I own two of them and they're crystal clear edge to edge and the best 1 to 1 I've ever looked through. The only thing I don't like about them is they don't have a parallax adjustment. But for an AR that's shooting out to 30-450 yds, I don't see that being a problem. But for a DMR I'd get one with a parallax adjustment and probably something in the 4-16 range anyway.

Great content BF! Curious if you have the Atibal HYBRID 1-12x32 FFP Plumb Reticle GEN II (MPVO) in your list of future reviews. Although a little busy the side parallax seems like a game changer. Thoughts?

Good information.

Have you looked at the March 1-10? I'm really interested in it as it's an lpvo with parallax adjustment.

Could you do a video giving your best recommendations of LPVO by price tier

They need a gen2 with daylight brightness like the nova. It's _so_ close.

I'm waiting for one with the nova reticle.

Saving up for a march 1-10 shorty.

ACSS like all innovations are subject to “cramming” - sticking in “features” nobody asked for but engineering can do. My fave long black rifle reticle for sure but don’t overshoot market expectations just to get upgrades.

Thank you

I'm using the vortex razor 1x6 gen 2 e I believe it will do what I need it to do the first focal plan thing don't bother me because if I'm shooting out to 200 were I have it zero it's going to hit were I aim on any power any thing over 200 I just jump it straight to 6 then all my drops are the same hold all the time as to were I have done figured my holds out so it's all good as long as that thing keeps its zero
