Unfortunately this is an all too frequent occurrence. Usually Primary Arms and SWFA have comparable prices, true in stock notice and ship promptly.

Nebwake Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Its really close to daylight bright on 11. If you look directly into a bright sky you will lose the red but it'll show up just fine on a bright day when looking at a target though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I also compared it to my MTAC and the glass is as good, maybe a bit better but the 6 power really stands out. the eyebox is a little more forgiving as well. Only gripe is the reticle adjust doesnt have an off setting between each power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are back ordered for awhile they call to confirm you want to wait. Unfortunately SWFA and Primary Arms don't sponsor several major 3-gun matches or any 3-gun competitors.

CrusaderUSA Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hey, for those of you who have one of these in hand, can you relay how easily the variable power ring turns? I'm hoping for something easy enough to turn in the middle of a stage when moving from a target at 150 to 480 yards. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhr1986 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 easy to turn fast with the sv-4 throw lever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusaderUSA Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 easy to turn fast with the sv-4 throw lever Thanks jhr! That's all I needed to know. I think I've just cleared up any excuse to not get one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) This thing is badass for $300. Vortex left 2 bones on the table with this scope. Hit me up if you wanna 10% off discount code to get one from Optics Planet for under $300. Edited July 20, 2015 by Jesse Tischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc1094 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 2 guys on my squad this weekend had these, and they both likd them. Only trouble they seemed to have was the long range stage, targets at 325, 350, 425 and 490. Neither of them got all four targets, both said the hash marks were off so hey have to go back and figure out were its hitting with their ammo. Other than that they loved them!

The BDC in the scope is set for one data set. Chances are your rifle/ammo is different and you need to understand the difference.

Other than that they loved them!How big where the targets? If they where as generously sized as most long range 3 gun targets your BDC can be off a ways and you can still make easy hits using it. Any chance these guys where just missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc1094 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 They are both good shots. Maybe it was the lack of time with a new scope, or it could have been the wind. It was blowing around 15mph from right to left across the targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 15mph is a big deal with 223. See what I mean about being able to be sloppy with a BDC and it still being close enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was blowing around 15mph from right to left across the targets. I have shot maybe 3 matches in the past 6 years where the wind caused me to miss a target. Our target presentations are generous enough that wind barely causes us to hold off target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSky Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) The reticle is calibrated upon 60 gr V max. Does anyone have any info on how the reticle matches up with PMC 223 55gr FMJBT? Edited July 21, 2015 by RobSky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your velocity on the PMC? Should be close enough to the 60gr vmax to hit the generously sized targets we see in 3-gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
