Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

S

So this idea that Nightforce optics are more durable/shock-resistant/etc. than other brands...just marketing hype?

Not trying to start a fight; I'm genuinely curious. "Duty optics" have a whole industry of YouTubers abusing them in reasonably standardized/scientific ways to evaluate their durability and performance (Sage Dynamics and similar), but I haven't seen similar evaluations of these sorts of higher-magnification scopes.
Pretty much. Except there isn’t a single YouTuber abusing anything in a remotely standardized or scientific way.

Nightforce waqs absolutely instrumental in getting LOW to learn how to build robust scopes when they were just starting.

That differentiation is long gone.

They build nice scoeps with very good QC. The rest is legacy marketing.

Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

The Gen1 is really repeatable!


Got back from vacation yesterday and finally got to try it. Two groups on my 223 boltgun at 100 with and without the C35. Same offset I set it to for my AR.

Took it off, put it on the AR to bang some steel, then put it back on the boltgun.

The image is photo-like! These don't do it justice at all!

The NV bridge picatinny is at about 1.25" below optical center. Still worked. Could only see half the menus. If I moved my head around I could actually see around/under the thermal. AR scope I set the offset for was a standard 1.5x" height AR mount.

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

This^^^^..again.
Its easy to avoid GMO, corn, soybean products, and wheat are something you should eat very little to none of anyway. Bang, just like that you cut out the most common GMOs.
The other big one is tomatos.
The greens are generally safe for now. You should be growingvyour pwn lettuce. Any idiot can keep a fresh supply of lettuce growing, even with the smallest of city yards.

There are lots of easy to grow, quick to mature crops that are still unmodified. It takes effort and dedication.

I am the zinnia boss.
A few months after banning seed oils (vegetable oil, corn oil, peanut oil, ect) from all products in our home and using *gasp* butter, lard, tallow, avocado and coconut oil products the difference in my life quality is startling. That shit is absolutely trying to kill you and your family. If you only do one thing, stop using this poison (not you specifically Joe) 😅

Animal based eating, fat forward (dirty carnivore for me) and keep additives out. Look at ingredients, can’t pronounce it or don’t know what that shit is? Don’t put it in your body.

Seems like common sense.

Leveling a scope is dumb

I have a tendency to cant the rifle inboard in the prone position, and while sitting, kneeling, or otherwise behind the rifle. Both of my PRS rifles have butt plates adjustable for cant. You’ll just have to take my word for it that the top of both are canted inboard, matching my natural cant. The result of the butt plate cant is that I shoulder the rifle more or less plum to gravity. And, the bubble level on my scope confirms this.

Why cant? Probably some function of chest/shoulder musculature and face shape.

SOLD Bergara HMR 6.5 creedmore w/carbon barrel

Clearing out space and since my nrl hunter build is wrapping up I don’t need this guy anymore. Bergara b14 6.5creedmore with carbon barrel. Has 3-400 rounds through it and shoots great. Only thing is it’s a 22” barrel so it’s right there on the boarder for nrl hunter power factor so I built a full custom with a 24” barrel. Great hunting rifle or one to dip your toes into the long range game.
$1100 shipped to your FFL.
Scope (Burris XTR 3 5.5-30 illuminated) is not included but can be added for $900View attachment 8660096View attachment IMG_6039.jpegView attachment IMG_6041.jpeg

Gas Block Problem

Must have gotten one of the barrels mark made on a Friday. A sub .0625 sized gas port? Thats some QC for ya.

Return the barrel as defective for a refund and buy a craddock.
A hex wrench isn’t exactly a precision measuring instrument. And as they are measured from flat to flat, the size of the wrench isn’t giving a true numerical value for the port diameter.
