Looks like PA has a new offering in 1-8x

[rushthezeppelin]

They call it their platinum series. Wonder if this stuff will compare with high end Nightforce/S&B type stuff. This one is made in Japan instead of the Chinese parts assembled in US like the rest of their stuff.

1-8x is awesome, and FFP.

But no lifetime warranty. Too bad. Deal breaker for me.

I basically said the same thing on Reddit and people lost their mind. Buy cheap, sacrifice something..

$1300 is not what I would call cheap.

But it is cheap in the high end optics game. I personally wouldnt spend that much on any scope, but if I was going to even consider that kind of money on a scope, buying an unproven first run of a product from a company known for "high quality budget" options would not even be on my radar.

For that price Ill buy another razor 1-6. The eyebox of the 8x erectors with sub 30mm objectives is way too tight anyway. I can hit my IPSC silhouette at 800yds on my 6.8. What more do you really need out of a compact optic? Add to that, that the new burris XTR IIs are really nice, all of the optics in that price range have better warranties and this optic is going fall flat.

I dont understand the 1-8x range anyway so its not an optic Id be interested in. A 2.5-10x32 offers a larger eyebox at top power with more magnification and gives up little on the bottom end with a proper reticle while being hundreds of dollars cheaper.

They also have a 6-24x and 6-30x ffp scope sometime in the next year or two but the msrp is being quoted as $2,000 not sure if that was sarcasm or not. But sorry, for comparable magnification id rather buy a falcon menace ffp or a vortex.

It isn't cheap. But I have one and it looks good.

How would you compare it to a VOrtex 1-6?

 

[acorneau]

How would you compare it to a VOrtex 1-6?

It's at least 2X better!

The Vortex has a lifetime warranty. No comparison.

Okay what I want to know is how is the glass

 

[SC-Texas]

My initial impressions are that it's good. No aberrations around the edges at all magnifications.

That is what I hear and the CEO (or whatever his title is) seems to be an honest guy. But if he is gone is the next guy gonna be the same way? If they are going to honor it for longer than the warranty then give it a longer warranty.

 

[cajunautoxer]

Well if your that worried Pony up another $1800 and get a Leupold

The owner is Marshall Lerner. He isn't going to be gone anytime soon.

And, the guys in the management and other positions have the same philosophy.

May be great, but I have no use for a 1-8x, and don't really understand the need for that range.

Why do I have the feeling there's a lot of things you dont understand
