look forward to it. Is this one also going to have that weird purge port plug?Late March/Early April
Is the GLX 1-10 being made in the Philippines with sourced Japanese glass? I'm just curious as to why it's in the GLX like not the PLX? Thanks
Nol Completely new design that uses internal leaf springs to eliminate the need for the protruding pluglook forward to it. Is this one also going to have that weird purge port plug?
That makes total sense, I'm really looking forward to this. I wasn't planning on getting a 1-10 but at that price I may change my mind. I'm assuming glass etched reticle and led illumination, what is the Weight/FOV going to be or has that been officially worked out yet?Glx vs PLx is not COO. Think oif our tiers as Good SLx, Better GLx and best PLx. It is made in Japan with Japanese glass but is not made in the same (best of the best OEM factory) as our PLx scopes. Also quality of coatings is not at the level of our new PLx. Our goal was to make it as good as we could but not go over $1,000

Not sure if you meant the PLx 1-8 or the GLx, but this is from the catalog for the PLx. Has the reticle at 1x and 8x, also included the specs...that's a really nice FOV at 100 yards, 121 feet!Can we see high res versions of the reticles? Please.
Yes and it is very easy to find the sweet spot.Will the PLx have a similar "disappearing" type scope effect when behind it like a few others on the market, or was the eyepiece not configured that way?
And... WHY oh WHY is the 1-10x a SFP?!?
I like horseshoe retcles, but at 1x from the pic is not really usable, I like how the new Eotech 1-10 used a biggger ring at 1x that is usable from the pics and disappears at 10x to use the cross hairs. I realize you can’t make everyone happy and that scopes are geared towards a market.What’s the point of the hash marks outside of the horseshoe? Seems like the verticals marks are overkill. Thanks
I don’t mind the horseshoe as long as it gives a good dot on 1x (I think it’s a great way to make a bright reticle) but it’s the lines on the left and right if the horseshoe I don’t understandI like horseshoe retcles, but at 1x from the pic is not really usable, I like how the new Eotech 1-10 used a biggger ring at 1x that is usable from the pics and disappears at 10x to use the cross hairs.

WAIT….WHAT!!!??? The GLX 1-10 is SFP?The new 1-8x looks awesome (on paper). Eager to see how it compares to the Nightforce NX8 1-8x, which I really like.

It's First focal planeWAIT….WHAT!!!??? The GLX 1-10 is SFP?
That’s a a massive error on PA
Just took that scope off my want list.
Yes and to clear up some things shown above. The made in Japan GLx FFP 1-10X will be available May-June.Did we ever get an expected release date for the GLX?
Pretty sure LOW makes the EoTech scopes.BDC are slower less intuitive and just plain stupid outside of the examples I already gave.
Who the fuck wants to know that 1 means 143 yards 2 means 185 yards 3 means 264 yards 4 means 381 and 5 means 675. Your buddy who is spotting tells you are off 1.5mils. Sorry bubba how many mils is in each "BDC" unit? Oh your 6.5cm requires 7.5 mils at 1K. How many BDC's is that?
There is a reason we use Mils (and even Moa for the boomers). Its a universal measurement that we all speak.
You aren't noticing 4 oz on a fully kitted carbine/rifle. As someone who has humped hundreds of miles with one, its negligible. Maybe lift some weights or something.
1-6FFP is 95% as effective as a 1-10. The extra 4 on the top aren't as useful as your think, especially since you have no parallax adjustment. The LOW brands stopped making the 1-6FFP because they were mostly dogshit. They were not daylight bright, they had terrible reticles and abysmal eyeboxes. Eotech which is a Jappense OEM has a 1-6 that is a superior design. Now they have a 1-10.
The catalog screen shots at the top of this page show a shake awake feature. It's partially cut-off, but it looks like these have it (as a first for the PLX line).@marsh1 don't think I've seen anyone ask if there's an auto shutoff/shake awake tech. If you've already answered this I apologize, I only skimmed back through the thread.
As best I can tell, LOW makes LPVOs for:Pretty sure LOW makes the EoTech scopes.

Is this the new PLx 1-8? I really like that through the scope shot at the beginning. Looks good and the reticle seems very easy to pick up at 1x.
Man, y'all are just gunning for my money, I salute you sir, I don't need it...but the want is increasing to a dangerous level.Yes that video is the new PLx compact 1-8
My thoughts exactly. CrabsAndFootball was/is something else!Hello, are you the same user who used to post here as CrabsAndFootball (or some other combination of capitals in that handle)?
Genuine question, and nothing implied.
Forgot to add: the new PLxC that is sitting in front of me has the "METERS" version of the BDC reticle. I measured it on the collimator. It seems to make sense to me. For personal use I prefer mrad, but I would guess that well more than half of the LPVOs sell with BDC reticles, so this is probably the one that is relevant to most people.

Provided a T2, Primary Arms new 3x magnifier, and Scalarworks mounts, the red dot/magnifier combo would be ~12.92 ounces.How is the PLxC's weight compared to a red dot and magnifier combo?
The yard BDC reticle version is already available for pre-order. But not the mil or meters BDC yet.Do we have an exact date for the drop or the pre order? I don't want to miss out.
Darn, Was hoping I could order the meters BDC. Guess I'll wait a bit more.The yard BDC reticle version is already available for pre-order. But not the mil or meters BDC yet.
I think I saw PA mention on ARFCOM that it will be another couple months for the mil and meters BDC versions.
Yeah, looks like they're trying to offload their old 1-8 PLX's for $1299 and they're taking preorders on the new ones for next quarter.Home

1299 had always been the price for the PLX 1-8.Yeah, looks like they're trying to offload their old 1-8 PLX's for $1299 and they're taking preorders on the new ones for next quarter.
PA also has some juicy blem/open box sales that stack with the mil discount. I got my PLx 1-8 as an open box for $860 out the door with tax/shipping. If the same sales apply, getting this new PLxC for ~$1k could be a steal.1299 had always been the price for the PLX 1-8.
A couple years ago they were "offloading" their older style reticle models for 950. If that were the price for those now, then yeah, I would say they are offloading them.
I haven't tried shooting in the snow with it.
I guess that must be a lot worse than the noon Texas summer sun on light coloured dirt all around you which is what I've tried mine with.
So now I'm curious, what scopes actually have this level of extreme illumination for the reticle?
It was the reticle we put in the first prototypes for testing. Some of the feedback from T&E was would be nice to add the bar. Because the reticle factory has long lead times and the meter reticles were already slated for production we didn't want add to the lead time by making a change.For the meters version, how come the veritcal and horizontal line are further away from the horseshoe?
