Let me check on Monday which retices are in house.@marsh1 Is that for all 3 models that are available for pre-order now?
Will there be a Sfp?Let me check on Monday which retices are in house.

No the only one that is in house that I can ship with partial packaging is the Raptor yard version. I will work on other ETAsAll three reticle versions are now available for pre-order on their website.
Eventually but mid next year at bestWill there be a Sfp?
They had this to say about it in the comment section when asked about it:Didn't touch on the eye box but that just tells me it was a non issue for them.
I agree 100% with that assessmentThey had this to say about it in the comment section when asked about it:
"Hey man, eyebox sits somewhere between Razor 1-6 and NF NX8. It’s not as red-dot competitive at 1x as Razor but you can see Max has no problem shooting it support shoulder and at 8x, it is not that sensitive to alignment as the NX8 or even the Vortex 1-10. I don’t think eyebox will be the deciding issue on this optic"
Sounds like a winner to me. I'm glad PA sent one to SupersetCa because honestly a lot of PA youtube reviews feel like infomercials lol. Now I have to find a rifle to put it on
Yup. But when I commented with that, all three reticle versions were on the website showing they could be pre-ordered.No the only one that is in house that I can ship with partial packaging is the Raptor yard version. I will work on other ETAs
The Meter BDC and Griffin Mil grid can be pre ordered for Q3 delivery. I am waiting on a more specific ETA. The Griffin was not in all the different ways you can search. I am fixing that now but here is a link to itYup. But when I commented with that, all three reticle versions were on the website showing they could be pre-ordered.
SuperSetCA has a review out on this optic and it's very positive.
I get what your saying, but I respectfully disagree having looked through both now. For what I want, the NX8 would never be on my list. I like red dot bright in my LPVOs, but the NX8 is way to finicky in the eyebox, also the small FOV at it's price is disappointing. Yes it's illumination is brighter, but that's not enough to outweigh it's cons side by side with the PA compact.Its pretty obvious that Primary Arms aimed this optic squarely at the Nightforce NX8. The size, weight, and several specs are "just" slightly better then the NX8, on paper at least.
Which might explain why Nightforce is now offering the capped elevation turret and FC-DMX reticles on the NX8.
Personally, I'd take the NX8 over the PA. The NX8 illumination is probably twice as bright as what the PA scope can achieve. And I suspect the Nightforce will also be tougher and more reliable.
Thanks, really looking forward to the Griffin model. If you get a more precise ETA on that please let us know. Also, if it comes without the fancy packaging when they get in house that'd be just fine as well.The Meter BDC and Griffin Mil grid can be pre ordered for Q3 delivery.

If you can afford it, order both and compare... honestly wish I would have done more of that in the past, would have saved me money in the long run.The NX8 and PLx-C are definitely in competitionX The only things holding me back from pre-ordering a PLx-C today:
1. The NX8 just came out with the FC-DMx reticle. I’ve been waiting on that for a while.
2. Durability unknown. The PLx Compact is probably durable, but the Nightforce is a known quantity and only time will tell for the PLx-C. As it’s an optic I may take OCONUS, it’s a key factor.
3. Those damn chevrons. I know Dimitry will arrogantly scoff at me for dismissing chevrons, but they don’t work for me and I very much prefer dots or crosshairs. I’m not faster with chevrons, their tip is too ambiguous to my eyes, and the rest occludes too much of the target. Even with the ACOG back in the day, I went with my own crosshair version.
But there are few things that preventing me from ordering an NX8 today.
1. Even without the PLx-C’s fantastic field of view, the NX8’s field of view is sub-par. Not terrible like the Accupoint 1-4, but definitely below average.
2. The ranging and BDC features of the PLx-C would be much more useful to me OCONUS than the FC-DMx. I wouldn’t be swapping it between different calibers.
The illumination isn’t really a factor for me, as long as the reticle is designed correctly. Thank god the Plx-C finally has tall crosshairs that are easily visible at 1x instead of the floating horseshoe in the center. With those crosshairs, illumination is only needed for aiming into dark areas. For that, you don’t need a nuclear bright dot like the NX8 has.
It’s a tough call and I may just order both.
Has anybody heard of anyone actually using the PA optics 90 day return thing? Do they actually honor it and is the only cost to the consumer return shipping?If you can afford it, order both and compare... honestly wish I would have done more of that in the past, would have saved me money in the long run.
Yes and we pay the return shipping.Has anybody heard of anyone actually using the PA optics 90 day return thing? Do they actually honor it and is the only cost to the consumer return shipping?
Do you know if the measurements have been submitted? I keep checking for the M8s when Strelok pushes an update.We are trying to get all the new reticles in Strelok

That's good to hear. Just spent some time behind a 8x VCOG today and it was truly dreadful considering it's price.At room distances on 1x I get slight distortions while panning, but not bad. Better than a VCOG I had.
It also weights 32oz which is more than a Mark5 5-25That's good to hear. Just spent some time behind a 8x VCOG today and it was truly dreadful considering it's price.
Dang. Didn't realize they were that heavy. If you figure that includes the mount which could otherwise be 5-9oz it doesn't sound as bad.It also weights 32oz which is more than a Mark5 5-25
That includes the mount. Add 6-11oz to any scope for most popular mounts depending on style.It also weights 32oz which is more than a Mark5 5-25
That is including the standard Trijicon mount.Dang. Didn't realize they were that heavy. If you figure that includes the mount which could otherwise be 5-9oz it doesn't sound as bad.
Isn't that what I said?That is including the standard Trijicon mount.
Take off 7oz and it’s still 25oz of optic, which is pretty porky for a 1-8.Dang. Didn't realize they were that heavy. If you figure that includes the mount which could otherwise be 5-9oz it doesn't sound as bad.
We found the included sun shade all that was needed but let me check the thread pitch@marsh1 what's the thread pitch on the objective?
Any plans to offer an ARD for this? For a combat-type optic like this I probably would have rather had one of those than a chode sun shade
Any updates on availability of reticle dimensions? I’ve got a meters version on order, but I don’t have use for an optic if I don’t have its drop data.Checking now

Thanks. I’ll keep an eye out for the next couple Strelok updates.All data has been supplied to Strelok.
Any luck with this info? Thanks!We found the included sun shade all that was needed but let me check the thread pitch
Thanks for the reminder!! It was not in the specs and we asked the factory for the measurement. Following up now.Any luck with this info? Thanks!
No the patent holder of the reticle will not release the full files but he will do a custom drop chart if you have velocity data. Also the beauty of the ACSS reticles is you zero according to the manual and your drops are onI know you're releasing the reticle drawings to Strelok, but will this be released to everyone?
The reticles haven't appeared in Strelok yet.
