Rifle Scopes PLXC 2.5-20×48

Is this thing even worth waiting for anymore?
Optics Planet has it advertised at $1999 (and have been estimating 13-22 days for about 3 months now) and I'm interested, but you can snag a preowned Mk5 3.6-18 or NF NX8 2.5-20 for around 1500 - 1600 bucks.

Any of you industry insiders doing T & E yet? I know it came out at SHOT and i heard they were projecting 3rd quarter, but so far, I haven't heard much and am starting to lose interest for a DMR optic.

I really don't understand the point of it existing with the NF NX8 also existing.

Thats like asking why an FDE Nightforce ATACR in 7-35 exists when an FDE Tangent Theta in 7-35 exists.


I have a 2.5-20 NX8, but im open to trying something different to see if there is something I like better about it. (I dont LOVE the 30mm tube or the NX8 turrets)

I'm intrigued. Curious how the eye box, glass and tracking/durability will be to the NX8

Same.
It's not that I Dislike either the NX8 or the Mk5, I'm just open to trying something different and this checks a lot of boxes on paper.

Interested as well, more so to see what busy reticle options look like in real time.

Did find this video and shows a through the scope view of the reticle

@marsh1 Care to weigh in?

Let me find out WTF is going on with the delay

Not what I wanted to hear but I understand. It was meant for a second half release but after feedback on the samples at SHOT we made some improvements. Like our Plx 1-8X the goal is not as good, better value etc. but best in class. These will not ship until early next year
