Best optic reviews anywhere. Thank you, Sir!

[@DTreatz]

I want this brightness in the 1-8 plx Primary Arms should start trying to ruggedize their scopes, similar to Trijicon, and get their brightness to this level or similar to leupold or nightforce. I'd pay premium for that, _especially_ with their intuitive ACSS reticles. Make it happen Primary Arms, for the love of all that is holy. *WANT*

[@earthsurfer13]

Not sure there is a lpvo that's as tough as a trijicon at this price point.

[@michaelr130]

@@earthsurfer13there isn’t a Trijicon at this price point to begin with. Hard to find any of their offerings under $500

[@CDOES]

They would have to develop a duel emitter setup to have this level of brightness (done right) on a ffp lpvo. But it would sell, quickly. I've talking to PA about using the plxc architecture to build a 2-16. They don't see a market for one.........

[@nighthawk9264]

@@CDOES Well, to be fair, there are dozens of 3-15x on the market (on that note, take a look at the Hawke Frontier FFP 3-15x50), so 2-16 doesn't add all too much. But I think they should make a no compromises LPVO. Bright, ACSS reticle, FFP, good glass and eye box. I belief they'd easily blow Trijicon, NF, etc out of the water. Even if they were asking for 2000-2500$. Doesn't have ti be as tough as a trijicon either. Just make something like a Razor Gen II. Bring some actual competition.

Awesome review, homie. I’m 3 PST’s deep and understand the weight issue. It’s just so hard to not love the optic though. This one seems like a fantastic piece of you don’t have a PST or want to keep weight to an absolute minimum. Thx for your superior objectivity!

[@michaelr130]

I owned 2 PST’s, bought them at the same time. Had them a month and sold both of them. I was not happy what so ever. Namely I was severely disappointed in the light gathering and transmission, which in my opinion is the most important factor for a hunting optic. Both of mine were 50mm objective and should have had zero issue in that department.

[@Quality_Guru]

What an exceptional review and extensive comparison of this LPVO. You went the extra mile to show off its best features, as well as, to identify its limitations. In the end sometimes you have to take on the extra weight and cost to get a better optic. Curious if the Delta Optical Stryker HD 1-6X24 is worth the extra juice vs. going with the Vortex PST.

[@Kevin117]

Based on my research with no experience behind the delta, it is.

[@Quality_Guru]

@@Kevin117 Thanks for you insight.

[@CDOES]

The Stryker /credo hx/ tango6t sfp are all part of the same family. They will all feel better than this, be fully made in Japan, and offer a more stable image. But at 3 times the cost +, it's up to the end user to see if it's worth maybe 50% more capacity and cool factor over the nova.

Thanks brother, another great review.

[@marcrud1250]

Yeah, I Love mine. Crisp glass, etched reticle is great... Illumination is Excellent. Turrets are great for a $340 LPVO... In my opinion it is better than some more expensive units. Sublime is a good description, especially when you add the folding magnification control.

[@andysworld2188]

I really like primary arms. I have a 1-8X LPVO with the old ACSS reticle with the horseshoe and chevron which i prefer. I can use it like a red dot at 1X or use the chevron for precision shooting at farther distances. Love it for my hunting AR15 6.5 grendel. I considered for a long time about getting the 1-4 or 1-6 LPVO for my 5.56. Ended up going with EOTech EXP2-2 and G33 magnifier since i will be using it for sport, recreation shooting and maybe get into competition shooting.

[@JustAverageJeff]

Would love to pick one of these up for the M5 I'm building, looks perfect for the application and it's a fing steal at the price! I'm very happy with my SLX MD-25 gen 1 except I wish it had shake awake, but oh well still a great dot for the price especially since they added it to gen 2.

[@stevenkennedy4130]

Good job PA!

[@ObservingLibertarian]

The ACSS is great, for a DMR/SAPR type rifle... but it's too busy for me to use as a red dot - this however, this I like. It's simple and clean with a nice bright dot in the center. That makes for a good, quick, solid, red dot - or - a medium range scope by throwing the lever: that's what I *want* from an lpvo. This is my idea of an lpvo done right.

[@brucegoehl3124]

My thought and issues with other lpvo's exactly. I don't need a horseshoe with a cross around a dot and holdovers for 600 yards lol. This looks like what I've been looking for for quite awhile

[@starxlord9856]

Very usable up-close and allows you to push it out to further effective ranges around 100-500yds. Anything else I would go with some sort of 2x10+mpvo with some offset red dot.

Im thinking about getting it as my first lpvo too. 8 months later...any regrets?

[@matthewjohnson2428]

@@lomparti no major ones! I'm still getting used to the tighter eyebox of an LPVO compared to my old 1x Cyclops Prism, but that's an LPVO issue, not a Nova specific one. It's a great mid range optic, I normally run it at 5-7 brightness for close up "red dot" shooting, and when doing longer range or more precision, I keep it at a 1 on the brightness because it's just enough to help make the center of the crosshair more precise, especially when shooting at dark colored targets or shot up steel in shadows. There are definitely better LPVO's out there, but dollar for dollar I'm extremely happy with this one.

[@hkguitar1984]

24:17 - Smallbore, You mention that the 50 Yard Range is showing a little bit more shift when viewing the back of the Berm, I believe this is due to most centerfire scopes are rated to be parallax free at 100 Yards and beyond, and some are better than others. Given the price-point of this scope it seems entirely acceptable. Excellent review, Thank You. I keep looking for a possible replacement for my P4xi that I purchased years ago from Optics Planet on a Black Friday Special with an extra $100 Off Coupon, I ended up only paying $325 (EDIT) for the then brand new P4xi. To date I've still not found anything nicer at the same price point. It is currently mounted on my HK91 using the original 30mm HK Mount.

[@musician445]

Thanks for doing these reviews in this way. I know its gotta be a lot of work. The more I learn about optics the more is see the ACTUAL differences. In just the short time I've had watching your videos, its helped me understand details that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to understand. I'm a believer that educated discerning customers are one of the main driving forces that make companies have to stay on their game rather than getting complacent and resting on their laurels. Like how PEW Science has helped introduce a desire for better performing suppressors, this kind of content can help open up markets for better performing optics. There HAS to be a market for it in order for companies to make it worth their while to pursue. So lets normalize people wanting GOOD optics.

[@stumpyhigginbottom3466]

[@mavrikmavrik3032]

I just tried my optics at a carbine class and ditched it after the first drill. The biggest issue is that I shoot both eyes open and I have a stigmatism. So to get things into focus I have to adjust the rear focus. Well, the ONLY time this optic is 1x is when the focus adjust is at zero (all the way in). So as soon as you start to adjust this focus out the magnification changes significantly. Because of this you end up with one eye non magnified and one eye magnified. It was very disorienting and I had to finish the drill with one eye closed. (I changed it out with my Vortex Razor II that doesn’t have these problems…and neither do my vortex strike fires…) As I said before the second issue is struggling to get a clear picture through the optic. I can never find that sweet spot where the optic is clear and the blackness isn’t encroaching on one half of the optic. It’s fine at a bench and usable for things like ready up drills but it’s very annoying to always see that blackness shading out a portion of the optic. I really wanted to love this optic because it is clear, the controls are awesome and the dot/reticle is one of the best I’ve seen. However I really think this needs some upgrades before I can use it on my rifles.

I might replace my optics now. The whole reason I avoided an LPVO is due to the brightness issues most of the more affordable ones have so I went red dot/magnifier and I've been happy with it, but this optic is everything I want. Plus this things very simple and uncluttered reticle speaks to me way more than PAs normal ACSS stuff. They tend to just overdo it on their standard LVPOs.

[@starxlord9856]

That’s not what these are meant for imo. It’s best to use along with an offset or piggyback red dot. Lpvo are for being able to reach out so illumination really isn’t a big deal.

[@FMDad-dm5qo]

An interesting touch is that some, but not all, PA LPVOs have the magnification dial rotate counterclockwise, as the SLx Nova’s does here. This puts the throw lever on the shooter’s left side at 9 o’clock when the magnification is dialed up. And that can be very useful on a bolt action rifle - keeps the throw lever out of the way of working the bolt. Since you will (I submit) almost always have it dialed to at least 2x magnification on a bolt gun - you’re not doing red dot 1x CQB stuff with it - that means the throw lever on the Nova will always be handily out of the user’s way. Yet it’s not the same across the whole PA lineup. The PLx-C used as a comparison here has the dial go the other way, clockwise, like most LPVOs do (in my observation). Interesting difference.

[@ZensivYT]

Was trying to decide between the nova and the msr tango 6. Bc it’ll be my first lpvo and I don’t have a mount. Is the PA free mount good enough?

What’s your recommendation on the different reticles ?

Do I need an extended cantilever mount to mount it forward on an AR platform?

[@Othal009]

How does it work for people with astigmatism? Does it bloom/distort just like a red dot?

Their 1x prisms are like looking into the sun on high brightness. I love those little optics.

[@matthewjohnson2428]

I have one of those on my AR and it freaking slaps!!! People say it's not as fast as a red dot, but I don't buy it. I got it because my astigmatism makes precision hard, but speed wise, I see no difference in my shooting. And the eye box is so stupidly massive I've not once failed to get it no matter my shooting position or if I'm coming off a transition

@@matthewjohnson2428 Totally agree- Every bit as good as a red dot in my opinion. Eye relief is absurdly long. Crisp, clear, and precise. I believe that PA 1x Cyclops Micro is the most innovative optic that PA has come out with.
