Primary Arms v. Atibal

I have a 1-8 FFP SLx and a 1-8 FFP PLx scope- both with some form of mrad Christmas tree reticle. I know the PLx is a ‘better’ scope. But damn. For an unwashed like myself, the SLx is a lot of scope for the money.

The new FFP PLX Compact 1-8x24 is fantastic glass and overall just hard to beat for the price. It's one of the best balanced(balancing the important parts of what makes a good lpvo) LPVOs on the market imo.

Meaning new SLx scopes are coming out or ones currently up on their site are revamped? I'm in the same vertical as the OP right now so I'm curious.

The SLx 1–10x28 that I linked to is one of their new(er) and possibly one of the revamped models (@koshkin can probably give you better insight on that). All I know is the 34mm tube is nice, it’s a tank, the glass is clear and bright, the reticle is excellent, and It’s a lot of LPVO for the money. Having used both a good bit now, I’d pick the SLx 1-10x over my old Strike Eagle 1-8x SFP any day. Definitely worth the extra $50 more for the SLx.

If it's a mostly target rifle and you can spend 1500 bucks I'd buy something completely different with at least 15x on the top end.

I recently ordered a primary arms slx 1-6 ACSS because I have been doing a lot of plinking at steel and wanted to play with a 1-x type scope without blowing a ton of money. The strike eagle was the other one I looked at but I didn't like the reticule. My guess is most of these cheaper 1-X scopes are coming out of the same factory in China so durability and glass quality will be similar.

My limited experience with Atibal glass is that it is on par to a step below Vortex Strike Eagle quality. I read good things about PA for the price but haven't had any time behind one. Would be inclined to try PA, or low end Vortex, before Atibal.

The Primary Arms scopes aren't for everyone.
BUT I've got a bunch and like them & will buy more anytime I can get a crazy good deal on one.
The PLX line is very nice and feels and looks top notch
The SLX line gives you a lot of value for the money.

The reticles are love it or hate it. There seems to be no middle ground.
For what I want the rifles to be setup for, the reticles are perfect.
