[@skennedy1217]

How does the SAI 6 compare to the Primary Arms PLx Compact 1-8?

[@1.forestrunner]

The only small disagreement I would have with your review is when you talk about canting the scope and being able to use the cross as aid to place shots. For that the cross should be at 45 degrees not (est) 30 degrees. I do not care much for the cross but that is personal preference if the cross would be at 45 degrees and a little less bold that would attract me. Not to forget the price for this optic! Again, very good review you fill a niche!

[@CDOES]

Its at least nice that they gave us something to use as a marker at the very least.

[@JP-wl5vj]

ATI is releasing a SAI 1-10 optic with a 34mm tube. I'm hoping it's this year. ATI is still putting it through its trials, etc. 🤞

[@randolfrusin9978]

Neat turret design! They remind me of the combination locks on a bank vault...only smaller. The fact that they put tier 1 turrets on a scope that's not designed for dialing really warms my hackels. 🤗

[@CDOES]

Facts! The turrets are incredible. And the tracking performance was better then expected.

[@emtothedee]

They recently released a MRAD version with no RAF on the reticle. Do you think that would be near impossible to see at 1x without the RAF?

[@bryy2053]

Durability is still always something to consider. Unfortunately that is difficult to evaluate for obvious reasons :) great stuff C.....

[@CDOES]

It feels like itll hold up, its very tight. But one will wonder until its further tested.

[@brad_1388_]

Lol, I broke mine after 6 months. Illumination just suddenly died one night while I was out hunting. Got it warrantied and back 2 weeks later, we’ll see if it was just a rare qc issue or not

​@@brad_1388_how is it holding up?

[@brad_1388_]

@@TheHatman168 its been good actually. I noticed some small changes on parts of the design, like the zoom adjustment ring screw is now capped with resin, instead of being exposed. ive only been able to get out a few times with it, but my confidence has pretty much been restored.

[@heinrichburgers5381]

very good and thorough review. Thanks. Keep up the good work!

[@Castellan_Chris]

Armament is selling these for like $1k without the lens caps/ARDs. I had a Elcan, sold it. Always wish they made an updated 1-6 with a better mount and eye relief. I love the throw lever design. I had a Kahles sold it too, felt underwhelming at $1700+,. This ones interesting , from the TT/Elcan guys, FFP and glowing C_Does review at

[@alanmeyers3957]

They do now

[@thehun06]

Armament Tech is solid when it comes to servicing out of warranty optics...I have had multiple Elcans out of warranty that they have covered no questions asked!

[@randomidiot8142]

New viewer. Do you set a 1" grid target at 28 yards to test mil tracking? 28 x 36" = 1008

[@CDOES]

its right around 41y. The numbers are the height of what they are on the sides. The boxes are 1mil. so just over an inch at that distance

[@pb7087]

I wish all companies fully extended their crosshairs. Like in the Razor Gen 3. 1x would be MUCH easier to use without illumination if they just extended them. And there would be, literally, zero downsides.

[@CDOES]

It boggles my fucking mind that they don't.

[@Michiganbreadboyz_bt8919]

One more question my man is the glass as clear on 6x as the razor gen 2?

[@CDOES]

It's pretty damn close

[@DrunkDrynasty]

Why can’t any scope manufacturer come out with a decent FDE shade anodization? Vortex Razor: Purple, PA PLX-c: Gold, Sig: Purple, SAI: Yellowish. Nightforce is probably the only one that does it right.

[@user-sn8xc4jm3x]

you should do a review on riton optics, i picked one up over the sig tango 1-4 when i was at my local gun store. i think i made the better choice only thing i would do differently is buy it online to save a few hundred ( i learned that’s damn near everything that is on the shelf). or get a scope with more magnification

[@CDOES]

Riton is on my list, but I have so many a head of it. Its going to be awhile before I can even get to one.

[@eastwood4006]

You have hands down the best rifle optics reviews on KZbin. I'm about to join the Patreon. How much does it cost? I have never donated through Patreon before

[@CDOES]

Thanks mate. Im happy with any amount. Its mostly the appreciation I enjoy

[@billdont2458]

What is with manufacturers not making the reticles daylight bright. If you're in 1X the theory is you can use it like a red dot. Am I missing something?

[@CDOES]

Cost. And overall usability of the optic for what they think is more important. for them its using the drops with lume, as opposed to a super bright center dot.

[@ComeOnPelican91]

Most scopes that light up the entire reticle, or multiple lines near the center, are never daylight bright. Scopes with a single red dot for illumination are the brightest a battery powered scope can offer.

[@CDOES]

@@ComeOnPelican91 they did it by design to make the drops more usable. There will be more versions coming out

[@hodor3024]

the stray light from the reticle looks super annoying. I wonder why you're so lenient on this issue but super critical of some other things like chromatic aberration in other videos.

[@CDOES]

They are probably just trying to find the best balance they can

[@brittainwoolley6848]

It does not seem Strelok has this reticle. Can some point to a similar reticle for BDC calculations? I'm using a different caliber than NATO 5.56/7.62. Thanks!

[@RF_Drift]

As far as I've found out, the reticle is based on a 62gr 5.56 load from a 16" barrel. The Elcan's 5.56 variant is based on the same load and barrel length. Given that SAI is a sister brand I'd imagine they used the same ballistic math when designing the reticle. I've not had a chance to test it out past 100yds yet, but I'm gonna be basing my math off of Elcan drops until proven otherwise.

[@Michiganbreadboyz_bt8919]

Would you recommend this for a fighting rifle if I added a canted red dot

[@CDOES]

From my time, use and experience with it I say it would hold up as good as the very best. ATI wouldn't put their name on something that wouldn't hold up to their standards. With the like of elcan and tangent under their umbrella it's easy to see why. But anything can fail. And their 5 year warranty is kind of a buzz kill. But if you never use it. Then it's a non issue really.

[@Michiganbreadboyz_bt8919]

@@CDOES awesome thanks for the reply my man.

[@crunchyknees3622]

What is your favorite lpvo when considering weight, magnification, and reticle?

[@rejectmodernity1756]

The only thing keeping me from buying this scope is the warranty. It’s super frustrating because I think this thing is perfect for what I need an LPVO for.

[@JP-wl5vj]

I think they may now have a lifetime warranty. Check with ATI, but I think they actually do have a good warranty now.

[@thedudeman2106]

Do you know if this is a 7075 aluminum body?

[@orsongarnsey3705]

I bought the SAI 6 in late 2022 based on this review and a few others that were less informative. Long story short, it displaced my P4Xi, which I love dearly. Fast forward to today and I don't think you can find anything better for an AR15 in the FFP LPVO space without spending significantly more. Even then, I wish you luck. No one provides better content than C_DOES in this niche.

[@CDOES]

Your happiness, makes me happy. The sai 6 in a 2-12 format would be the best

[@JP-wl5vj]

When this SAI is at 1x, does the rim of the scope disappear like it does on the Razor Gen II-E?
