This soundtrack never gets old.. LOVE IT!

Great review, I've been waiting for this since you posted a few months back that you planned to review it. I've been a holdout on the LPVO and just used the 4X ACOG for years on my intermediate rifle, glad to see that everyone thinks so highly of this. Stay cool

Been waiting on this review. Thanks! I’m very excited about this optic.

I have been looking for an lpvo for a year this is a sign thanks for the review.

Plan on saving up for this, thanks taking the time get familiar behind the scope to do a review!

Your review confirmed for me what others have said. I've been trying to decide which lpvo to mount on my DD v7 SLW. After watching multiple reviews and doing some comps, your endorsement sealed the deal for me. Ordered it from Optics Planet last night and got a decent discount. I'll post a follow up after I receive it. Thanks very much for the in-depth review!

You cant go wrong with PA ACSS optics. I own both the SLX and PLX 1-8x ACSS models and LOVE them both. I will say though, as great as the platinum series is, the lighter, more compact and less expensive SLX model gets the nod for me. Its 2nd focal plane reticle just makes more sense for any LPVO of 10x and under and its glass and overall performance is so close to the much pricier models it really isnt a factor. One thing for sure, whether silver class or platinum, the ACSS reticle systems are the best in the industry!

This is what I'm talking about!! Hearing this is such a great LPVO (from someone that really knows what they're doing) is invaluable. I hate it when reviewers get you with clickbait and then tell you "your use case will determine if something is worth the money or not". Thank you for the transparency, and the simple answer. Sounds like I need to go shake the couch cushions again!

How far out do you think MrGunsnGear is shooting ? I'd venture a guess and say, not any further than his corn/tobacco field lets him. This means that he's not out there shooting this out to 750/800 yards and therefore he can't say much about how it's doing at those distances. Just sayin.

@rascalmatt6713 Using a few other context clues, I'd agree. I don't think anyone with half a brain and an AR chambered in 5.56 is trying to shoot beyond 500-600 yards at most. The reticle in this optic is another good clue as it has a BDC solution for 5.56. I now own one of these and can attest to its great build quality and usability out to reasonable distances.

Perfect timing man just about done with an 18 inch build and going to need another optic... Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

I got one this past week and have it mounted. I have not shot with it yet but everything from the packaging and the features on the scope seem like a good upgrade. So far I would buy again. Eye box is good at one power and tight at 8 power but very usable. It is a good compromise of features. Definitely did not seem like they cut corners which worried me at first since they are known for more budget products.

I have their 1x6 aces raptor and love it. FFP as well

A 30mm vs 34mm comparison would be great!

I have the FFP 1-6 (it's an SLx) and I was getting out to 550 yds with no problem. PA makes some good stuff. I know this 1-8 is probably awesome.

I’ve just been waiting to jump on the LPVO game until one around this size comes about. And boy am I excited to see what’s about to come

i have been following this scope for a few months now. this will be my next purchase.

The Razor Gen II 1-6 is still the fastest LPVO on the market all these years later. As clever and well done these ACSS reticles are, they still aren’t as fast as a good SFP reticle and super bright illuminated dot. Where the PLx-C really shines over the Razor is the light weight and the medium-long range capability. The glass quality is about equal on both, the Razor has better eye relief and more forgiving eye box. Basically the top LPVO choices right now are Razor HD Gen II for $1k (on sale) or PLx-C 1-8 for $1.5k. The PLx ain’t never going on sale lol. So you have the option to spend an additional $500 for an optic that is slightly better at longer ranges without compromising much at short range.

@@proverbialmind_spread9421 It's literally a roll of the dice, no matter what company you buy from. EVERY company (the major ones anyway) has a 10-15% return rate, at least. So you were just unlucky, just like I was. My first Primary Arms 1x prism, the screws that held the optic to the mount broke, on my first several shots while I was sighting it in. Broken screws inside the optic, 3 out of 4. It took 21 emails and 4 weeks to get a return label. Crap happens. But it can happen with other companies too.

I just picked up one of the previous gen plx 1-8x 4-5 months before this came out. Needless to say i was pretty salty about that lol. Definitely want one of these.

I was looking hard at this scope for quite a while, but just couldn’t get past the (lack of) daylight brightness. I found a NIB Razor 1-10 locally for $1,900 and jumped all over that instead. At 1x it’s full Aimpoint bright. If PA ever figures that aspect out, I’ll be happy to put one on my next build

Great info

I would like to see a comparison between the the old plx and new plx and if you include the new glx in the review that wold be awesome 👌

Primary Arms is really making some great products and at a reasonable price. Their SLx 1x and 3x micro prism red dots are amazing and I believe the lightest you can get.

Dang it! I bought the first Gen 1-8x, as Carl (MSGT Green Beret) from Tactical Rifleman recommended it as the scope that he’d take to war with no questions or doubt! I prefer the mil-radian so that’s the one I purchased, and I love it. I total agree with Carl based on my use. Then they come out with this one! I should of waited. I wait for all you KZreadrs to ring out the flaws, then I’ll pick one up when PA corrects them. If it’s as good as the first gen, then I’ll pick one up. IMO, Primary Arms has great glass for the price. Maybe not the best, but definitely good enough for the average & precision shooter/first line/civil defense/militia/preparedness types. I do think, hands down they have the best Reticles on the market!

@andreivaldez2929

Жыл бұрын

I'd disagree about not needing illumination in daylight. Having a black reticle can sometimes make it hard to see it when there isn't contrasting colors behind, or if you're transitioning targets often. The illumination just helps the reticle stand out that much more.

Just bought it with the save 12% site wide deal… hope I do not regret the reticle in Yards. Was trying to wait for the Mil or Griffin but lost patients. Save 193$ because brought the taxes down from 105$ to 92$

The last Gen of this was heavy but man is it incredible. On my scar.

It’s a nice scope and I like it. A negative is that the eye relief is awful beyond 6x so much I rarely use 7-8 power.

Sadly, I ordered one a few days before I found your channel!

I know primary arms is pretty stubborn about “daylight bright” illumination in a etched sight.. They say it’s not meant to be bright during the day it’s only for low light..

I swear, sometimes I believe my phone can hear my thoughts. I just released a video just a couple of days ago and in that video I said I am in the market for a new LPVO. By the way, great video as usual 🤙🏼

Awesome video, I'm convinced now which optic to buy! My wife says I "deserve" this 😂

I've gravitated towards the credo and accupower 1-8s as light transmission is pretty high up on my list as I shoot in low light quite a bit. It's pretty crazy to me that a 30mm can match or beat it. I wonder if the shorter body plays a part?

Thank you 😊

Thanks!

I’d be really interested in a comparison between the older and newer model. Yes the older one is heavy by 10oz but the 34mm tube provides a much more generous exit pupil diameter. I feel exit pupil is the most often overlooked feature as it’s very helpful for unorthodox shooting positions. I’d also like to see a long comparison between this and every other LPVO you own!

I was waiting for you to do this review. Thank you. I have two of these on my DD AR's. Shooting with this is just flat out enjoyable. It is by far the best LPVO I ever looked through and that includes the Vortex Razor Gen 3 1-10, and yes I had I used a rifle that had it on. That is a nice scope but I wouldnt purchase it if it were the same price as the PA Compact. I like the Compact that much. Opinions may vary. I have read the PA Compact is a non starter for some because the reticle is not day light bright. That factors very little in my assessment. Its bright enough, and considering what you are getting its not enough to deter the purchase. In daylight I use the reticle alone. I watched SupersetCA’s review, and he called it "almost perfect". The daylight bright was holding it back from perfect. I also read/heard ...dont remember where - that the PA Compact 1-8 is on the cutting edge of the technology. I have only shot it out to 200 yards thus far but the drop from the Chevron at 100 to the bottom of the Chevron at 200 is spot on. Cant wait to take it out further. Bottom line I bought two of them and havent regretted it at all. It was a great purchase and look forward to every range visit when I use them. It is expensive for sure but you without a doubt get more than what you paid for. That doesnt happen every day.
