Primary Arms Platinum 1-8X - looking for feedback

Really close to buying one of these with their mil reticle.  Just a little reserved as PA is not one of the big name manufactures.   Anyone have any experience with this optic?  I read Alaskapopo's review and it was excellent.  Looking for more info, another perspective.  What you liked, didn't like, etc.  I had a Razor G2 1-6X with JM reticle, but didn't care for the BDC reticle and at 500 yards I was looking for a little more magnification.   This will go on a JP15 or a 16" .308 gas gun.  Thanks, Nick-

Wow- 50 views and no responses.  Can't believe no one in this forum has tried this optic.  Oh well, worth a try. 

I have a Razor,

You also have a Razor.

The glass and is so good on it I don't think two more power on any scope is going to give you the result you want.

My opinion.

PA has a large thread on this optic over on arfcom. 

 

It's a pretty heavy piece of glass. Durable, but it's heavy.

About the same as the Vortex Razor which is a very popular 3 gun scope. I like my PA 1-8

I have no personal experience, BUT, I've read The Experts here say many times that

clarity, sharpness and brightness  in a 5-6 power might be better for 3-gun than a poorer

quality 8x scope.

To get the same quality in an 8x scope, you're paying a LOT of $$$$.
