Dear Primary Arms, As a desert dweller like Mr. Facts here, “SPR” scopes are a staple for me. I have a 1-8x PLX-C which is amazing. I also have a GLX 2.5-10 which I like but I’m still left wanting more mag. I’d love to see you expand on this genre of scopes. If you made a lightweight 2-12x PLx (preferably but I’d take a GLX too), I’d buy 3 of them yesterday.

[@DevDog67]

You you mind if you lose some magnification on the low end? Pretty sure PA makes a 4-14x.

I'm hoping these scopes don't just fog up and die like most scopes do when it's-20 celcius like here in Canada. Anyone from North or South Dakota here in the comments here to comment on durability is cold weather? Cause vortex although durable they fog like crazy all the damn time up here

[@charlesm.2756]

I own the PA 2.5-10x44. It's quite lovely and I have it assigned to a "Mock" 12 build. It is an existential threat to Prairie Dogs everywhere. Frankly, I think there are only a few use-case scenarios where a higher cost scope would be necessary: 1. You're a competition/professional long range shooter 2. You're an actual sniper (which is basically the same as point #1) 3. You got it for free 4. You have lots of money to burn and a lighter in your pocket. Otherwise, if a 2-10x-ish scope is on your shopping list, you really can't get a better combo of performance/value. There you go, my "professional opinion" that's worth 2 pennies!

Is the eye box bad? It claims 2.7-2.8" eye relief. Most are good at 3.6-4". Seems like you are going to be right in there or you see nothing...

[@charlesm.2756]

@@triggerbarPhD I find it to be no different than any other 2.5-10x44 (or similar). I personally think PA undersells the eye relief numbers. I was trained to shoot nose-to-charging handle. But I don't do that anymore. It's ergonomically un-sound and creates even more issues if you wear body armor. I like my head/neck to be as comfortable/vertical as possible. So, when I set up the scope, I keep my head in nice, natural position (it's an A2 length stock). Doing so will place the ocular lens almost right in-line with the rear of the upper receiver.

[@nicholas1740]

I'm making this comment because of the PA scope in your video. Great video, and I'm a new subscriber as of about two weeks ago. Great channel and have enjoyed it thus far! A couple things here and why I chose the New Vortex 3-18 over the New PA 3-18 GLX. Both of these are currently selling for around $750. Though I was able to get the Vortex for about 670 from OP. My personal experience with PA in the past, as far as their scopes go is, I had one 8 years ago that worked fine for my use at the time. I like what they're doing with their reticles. Now I've just built a DMR and I bought two scopes. One was the new Vortex 3-18 x 44, and PA's new 3-18 x 44 in GLX. I had them both for two weeks playing with them, setting them side by side looking through them in different light, sun and clouds, and at the same objects of course. One object at 496 yards and the other at 284 yards. Over the two weeks of deciding which one to send back, my findings where as follows. GLASS... The Vortex had a definite brighter view by at least 1.5 shades I'd say. Now there's no way for me to say exactly, however, it was immediately obvious there was a slight difference. PA's glass is from Japan, and Vortex from China. I'd expect a slightly better brightness. But after talking to a rep from PA he said maybe Vortex is using a different HD coating, IDK. FIELD OF VIEW... At 18 power the Vortex still had a wider field of view at the 496 yard mark by say, 6ft. Though you can look on the websites to confirm each, the FOV difference was noticeable, not just by a foot. THE EYE BOX Both were about the same. TIGHT. Not much wiggle room from either. But felt like the PA scope should have had some wiggle since lets face it, it's a reticle designed for battle and the last thing you want to have to do in a hurry is have to get perfectly aligned before you can see the reticle. A more forgiving eye box on both of these scopes should be designed. PARALLAX. The Vortex was stiff but smooth. Stiff enough I wasn't worried about accidental movement. But smooth enough not to struggle with fine adjustment. The PA however was a different story. Extremely stiff. Stiff enough that It was hard to tell WHEN it was perfect because there wasn't enough smoothness to find that exact point, like you can when it's a little smoother. Some of you might know what I'm talking about if you'd played with parallax long enough. So again, the Vortex to me was better. TURRETS. Here is where PA won, sort of. They definitely feel a little more tactile. The clicks are ever so slightly louder but not to the point of OH WOW. The one thing I didn't like about PA's turrets are that you have to push that triangle where as with the Vortex you lift up and spin. It just seemed to me like that was easier to do, and I knew when I pulled up it was ready to turn. RETICLE. I liked PA's reticle better on the GLX 3-18. I like the design and it's well thought out. We all know Demetri has done and excellent job there. There's a dot every 2.5 mils all the way down the tree and out each side, so it's easy to adjust quickly if you can spot your impact on time to make the correct adjustment. Vortex's reticle is great too, but it has sub tensions horizontally all the way out, where as PA has dots. Also the Vortex dots on down the tree are only provided at 1 mil increments. So you're left guessing if using the tree for a say 3.4 mils down, and 1.7 mil right. But you can extrapelate I guess. Also the PA has wind holds out to I think 6 which is perfect. The Vortex has them out to 10! Who holds ten mils of wind unless you're shooting a mile or in 45 mph wind? This is just being lazy in the design. Vortex could do a lot better. Here's the issue I found. And I have several FFP scopes so I know about reticle size. Although both scopes are 3-18 and FFP, I couldn't use the reticle on the PA scope outside of the chevron, until I got to about 11 power. That's when I could start to see the dots off to the side of the chevron well enough to actually use them, or the ones below. With the Vortex 3-18 I could actually see the lines and read the numbers on the horizontal plane even down to 6! So for me this meant that I could use a much wide band of the zoom than on the PA scope. CONCLUSION So because of the better brightness, the smoother parallax adj., and the ability to actually use a FFP reticle down at 6x, I chose to keep the Vortex and send the PA back. I can't tell you how much I tried to like the PA scope. I really wanted to! But having my evaluations in front of me, I had to make the better choice for me and my intended use. -

[@dw5523]

I like the openness of the Athlon reticle. I don't need something that can range or hold to a gnats ass, those kinds of reticles tend to distract from the target (for me). It's an example of just enough being better than too much (again, for me).

[@pb7087]

I did pick up one of their GLx 4-16 with HUD/DMR though and that’s a good one. The chevron is tiny enough to be unobtrusive when trying for those precise 200ish yard shots with a little wind.

[@hometown687]

Thank you for this video! I’ve been wanting a video like this

[@JeffNeelzebub]

I would like to vouch for the PA SLx 3-18x HUD DMR. It’s absolutely amazing IMO. Great zoom range, awesome reticle, and fairly light at about 24 ounces, and in the weight range of some heavier LPVOs.

[@BrassFacts]

it's a weird reticle, but I think it's good. I actually have one.

As always one of my favorite gun channels to come to for zero bs solutions for poor people. I would love to see you review or just hear your opinions on the Athlon Ares 2.5-15x scope. At a street price similar to the PA 2-10 glx and good stats on paper it seems like potentially the ultimate SPR scope. I've built a 308 in tye spr spirit and now I need glass. Nobody and I mean nobody has a legit field review of it

[@Goldenwithaleash]

I have the same PA on my M1A Scout Squad using a SADLAK Airborne mount and it’s been great. It’s a 2 MOA rifle on a good day with match ammo so I didn’t feel it necessary to use a premium optic. But I’ve never felt that the scope itself was limiting its accuracy capability. Before everyone starts hating, that rifle is mostly just a fun gun that I’ll occasionally use for deer hunting and not in my top 5 I’d grab for “serious” use for all the reasons.

[@Weaksauce730]

The Helos 2-12 does have a zero stop. Perhaps it's a gen 2 thing, though I don't know when those rolled out. Both of mine from the last year have the zero stop, but they don't have the little sharkfin.

You need a scope that has a "Christmas tree" reticle. I prefer my BUSHNELL LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44 with illuminated G# small Xmas tree reticle. It's on a 6.5 PRC Browning X- Bolt for longer range hunting here in Nevada. So G3 reticle with illumination have become my must-haves for hunting.

Figured I'd throw my two cents in since I have two of these scopes. I had the GLx 2.5-10 with the Raptor Reticle on mine, but recently bought the Athlon Helos BTR 2-12 to try it out. After handling the two and looking through them both, I'm keeping the Helos and selling the GLx. For me, the glass clarity on the GLx is only marginally better and at range, my Helos is actually slightly crisper. However, the Helos is very finnicky about where you are behind the scope. If you're off by a fraction, you see the shadow. The GLx is a little more forgiving in that regard. Otherwise, they're pretty equal with certain things the Helos does better and certain things the GLx does better. At 2x, the Helos reticle is hard to see against certain backgrounds but is amazing at 12x. The GLx is great at 2.5x, but at 10x, like BF said, it takes up damn near the entire lens. It's nuts. TL;DR - Both of them are excellent scopes and at the end of the day, I think Reticle matters the most between the two. Then, comes down to cost.

Ditto - I have the PLXc as well. Arguably the best LPVO currently on the market. My only complaint is that the eyebox is mercilessly unforgiving. Nonetheless, it trounces other premium scopes that often cost $1k more.

I understand that companies are built on their brands and the quality of thier products. But it often seems like people like the name on the scope over quality sometimes. Like evertime i see someone using an optic from a company ive never heard of, instantly brand bias kicks in. And "ive never heard of it so it must suck". Do you think people like some brands because they are actually better or just because its a name people can get behind?

Huge fan of the Bushnell Forge for tis category. Shame that they no loner produce a scope of this caliber anywhere near its price range.
