Will there be a pre-order?
Rifle Scopes New Primary Arms PLXC 1-8 FFP
- Thread starter 308ftWIN
- Start date
look forward to it. Is this one also going to have that weird purge port plug?
Glx vs PLx is not COO. Think oif our tiers as Good SLx, Better GLx and best PLx. It is made in Japan with Japanese glass but is not made in the same (best of the best OEM factory) as our PLx scopes. Also quality of coatings is not at the level of our new PLx. Our goal was to make it as good as we could but not go over $1,000
Nol Completely new design that uses internal leaf springs to eliminate the need for the protruding plug
That makes total sense, I'm really looking forward to this. I wasn't planning on getting a 1-10 but at that price I may change my mind. I'm assuming glass etched reticle and led illumination, what is the Weight/FOV going to be or has that been officially worked out yet?
Can we see high res versions of the reticles? Please.
This is the GLx 1-10 FFP
FOV: 104 at 1X
9.6' at 10X
Click value .1 Mil
weight 23.3oz
length 11.44"
30mm tube

Not sure if you meant the PLx 1-8 or the GLx, but this is from the catalog for the PLx. Has the reticle at 1x and 8x, also included the specs...that's a really nice FOV at 100 yards, 121 feet!

This is gonna give the NX8 a run for its money. Similar weight and dimensions but a better reticle and capped turrets. Not sure why NF only gave the ATACR a good reticle and the NX8 such a lame one.
The new 1-8x looks awesome (on paper). Eager to see how it compares to the Nightforce NX8 1-8x, which I really like.
And... WHY oh WHY is the 1-10x a SFP?!?

My thoughts exactly. If I had to guess, it is to keep the cost down on the Glx line. I am definitely getting the new Vudu 1-10 when they come out.

I like horseshoe retcles, but at 1x from the pic is not really usable, I like how the new Eotech 1-10 used a biggger ring at 1x that is usable from the pics and disappears at 10x to use the cross hairs. I realize you can’t make everyone happy and that scopes are geared towards a market.
I don’t mind the horseshoe as long as it gives a good dot on 1x (I think it’s a great way to make a bright reticle) but it’s the lines on the left and right if the horseshoe I don’t understand
WAIT….WHAT!!!??? The GLX 1-10 is SFP?
That’s a a massive error on PA
Just took that scope off my want list.
Not sure if it’s the lines your talking about, but those verticals on the left and right are ranging “height” markers

Yes and to clear up some things shown above. The made in Japan GLx FFP 1-10X will be available May-June.
The outside bars give you a duplex like reticle at 1X
Some of the confusion could be that we do and a new SFP SLx 1-10 out of China that will be a much lower price that is coming around the same time. .
Pretty sure LOW makes the EoTech scopes.
The catalog screen shots at the top of this page show a shake awake feature. It's partially cut-off, but it looks like these have it (as a first for the PLX line).
As best I can tell, LOW makes LPVOs for:
- Vortex Razor
- Athlon Cronus
- Trijicon
- Eotech
- Sig
- Sightmark Pinnacle
- Primary Arms (duh...)
- Delta Stryker
- GPO
- SWFA
- Tract
- Bushnell Elite (discontinued)
- Burris XTR2 (discontinued)
It should be noted, there's a good amount of variation in the optical and turret designs.
Edit: But, the optical formulas are common between some of them.

Man, y'all are just gunning for my money, I salute you sir, I don't need it...but the want is increasing to a dangerous level.
My thoughts exactly. CrabsAndFootball was/is something else!
How is the PLxC's weight compared to a red dot and magnifier combo?
Provided a T2, Primary Arms new 3x magnifier, and Scalarworks mounts, the red dot/magnifier combo would be ~12.92 ounces.
The new PLx 1-8x with Scalarworks mount would be ~22.43oz.
A hair over half a pound difference.
I’m not trying to cherry pick anything, just picking the setup I’d probably do if I did one of these two right now.
Can't figure out how to embed videos but MAC has a video out giving first impressions.
Do we have an exact date for the drop or the pre order? I don't want to miss out.
The yard BDC reticle version is already available for pre-order. But not the mil or meters BDC yet.
I think I saw PA mention on ARFCOM that it will be another couple months for the mil and meters BDC versions.
Darn, Was hoping I could order the meters BDC. Guess I'll wait a bit more.
Anyone know a link where you can pre-order one of these?
I can't find them on the PA site.

Yeah, looks like they're trying to offload their old 1-8 PLX's for $1299 and they're taking preorders on the new ones for next quarter.
1299 had always been the price for the PLX 1-8.
A couple years ago they were "offloading" their older style reticle models for 950. If that were the price for those now, then yeah, I would say they are offloading them.
PA also has some juicy blem/open box sales that stack with the mil discount. I got my PLx 1-8 as an open box for $860 out the door with tax/shipping. If the same sales apply, getting this new PLxC for ~$1k could be a steal.
I have a PLX 1-8x raptor m2 and a GLX 6-24X with athena reticle. I have shot both in the snow, the deserts and badlands in california, as well as south Texas in the middle of summer, and never had any issues with illumination not being bright enough. When I do use the illumination (often times I don't because I can see the reticle fine) i don't go any higher than setting 7 out of 9, and usually use setting 6 on my PLX.
When I use illumination on my GLX, setting 8 out of 10 is plenty bright.
I've peaked through quite a few scopes and from what I've seen, at least Primary Arms PLX and GLX lines, they have great illumination compared to even the more expensive scopes out there even!
Pretty confident that the person asking if they're bright enough either A) hasn't looked through a PLX or GLX tier scope illuminated, B) the scope he looked through had low batteries,, or C) is comparing it to a Primary Arms budget scope he used or looked through one time
The PLX gets a bit brighter than the GLX, but both have fantastic lighting! I really like my PLX on my AR15, at 1x it's like using a red dot (usually use setting 7 when using like red dot) Both scopes are very clear and the GLX tracks perfectly.
For the meters version, how come the veritcal and horizontal line are further away from the horseshoe?
It was the reticle we put in the first prototypes for testing. Some of the feedback from T&E was would be nice to add the bar. Because the reticle factory has long lead times and the meter reticles were already slated for production we didn't want add to the lead time by making a change.
