    Scope: Hunting 200 Yards and in.

    A lever gun is a light and trim rifle. It really needs a light and compact scope to complement it. My 30-30 has a Redfield (Leupold) 2-7 on it. It's a good match for the rifle size and capabilities. If I were buying today I'd look at the Burris 2-7 or if spending more maybe a 3-9 AccuPoint...

    If the manufacturer was listening, what realistic thing would you change about your favorite optic?

    I wish Primary Arms would sell the PLX-C 1-8 with a simple reticle. Remove half the "features" and all of the pubic hairs on the main stadia. Cut the mil holdover down to ~7-10 max. Basically use the FC DMx or Athlon 1-10 reticle. I'd even tolerate the Chevron if the rest of the reticle...

    Rifle Scopes [Late] PA PLX 1-8 Compact review

    I also have the PLX C with Mil reticle. The reticle is my number one gripe. Both the meter and yards BDC versions have their own negative quirks as well. It's a shame PA tries to be just a bit too clever with the reticle design. I keep looking at the FC-DMx longingly.

    Gear for 2-gun fun run

    I learned a hard lesson in one match. Shot a stage and the timer took a shit. My options were let the RO guess my time or re-shoot. Re-shoot wasn't an option with another 4 blind stages ahead of me. He guessed, I moved on. I typically carry an extra mag as a just in case option. Maybe a...

    Gear for 2-gun fun run

    Great job. Definitely keep your ammo on you. I only use a pack if I know I'll need extra water. My setup for the last many races: AWS LAB belt, ghetto rigged suspenders. Pouches L to R: BFG 10 speed double pistol pouch BFG 10 speed rifle pouch BFG 2x rifle pouch (usually 1x 55gr mag, 1x...

    Nxs 2.5-10 on a longer range hunting rifle?

    My 2.5-10x32 Mil Dot is one that I'll never let go of. I wish they'd update the X42 model with a newer reticle. I never warmed up to the Mil-R

    Gear for 2-gun fun run

    In my experience I run cooler with pants and long sleeves. I used to do the Pawnee OK run every year (10k and 20k depending on the year). Long exposure in the sun will smoke you. I got actual heat stroke one year(stopped sweating, lost consciousness, vomiting). In a long race, with long...

    Nxs 2.5-10 on a longer range hunting rifle?

    I have the older x32 version witha mildot reticle. The glass is more than adequate for shooting steel out to 1000 yards. I use it for hunting every year. I'll disagree with the poster above on FFP. If I'm shooting 500 yards I'll be cranked up to 10x. Otherwise hold under/over out to 300...

    Pa plxc 1-8, vudu 1-10, razor 1-10. Looking for real world input.

    Update on the PLX 1-8 Compact: I ran the River Bend Run'n'gun 10K a few weeks ago with the PLX 1-8 Griffin Mil. It was mounted to my 12.5" 5.56 AR with a Turbo K suppressor. Stages were 3-~500 yards. A single stage had ~200, ~300, and 500 yard targets while everything else was ~150 and in...

    MPOs now $699- a good budget choice ?

    Also curious to hear opinions of this vs a PST II 3-15. Very similar price now.

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP

    I've only seen the older FCDM in person. The X looks much cleaner in Strelok. Agree on the new reticle for the NXS. I'd like to see a better reticle in the 2.5-10x32. That's essentially the new Athlon Helos 2-12, but Chinese and 25oz. Maybe it's irrational but I love the old NXS 2.5-10x32...

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP

    Interesting. I haven't been able to look through a Razor 1-10. I've used the ATACR before and had a different impression, but it was in much better conditions which may have masked some of the performance drop off at 8x. Agree I think the ACSS isn't ideal. I like the doughnut and mil...

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP

    I was able to test my PLX-C 1-8 yesterday from 100-600 yards. Overall it seems like a high quality optic. I'm not convinced the tradeoffs are right for how I want to use it. Generally the optical performance degrades at over 6.5x. the conditions were poor(45 deg, heavy rain, 5-10mph wind)...

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP

    I do wish PA would make it easier to check a reticle before buying. Basic measurements would make the purchase decision a hell of a lot easier.

    Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP

    I read through a few of the recommended posts on the forum for how to set the diopter. Probably the biggest help was @koshkin suggestion to set it outdoors on a target ~10-15 yards away. Making the image flat in that 15 yard range vs the 5-7 yards I could get indoors is a much better setting...
