>5x magnification
>2.5"-3" long
>9 ounces with the mount
>Christmas tree reticle
Alright, who even asked for this, and do other companies offer anything like this? Did someone write Primary Arms asking about a scope for their fantasy P90 DMR build?
I’m just waiting for the Japanese made model with nightforce glass
PA isn't going to get into the fray with Elcan and Trijicon, they know no one will be buying their pricier optics when people would rather spend that much on brand names that has recognition of military use.
Their PLX LPVOs made by light optical works aka the guys who make nightforce, vortex razors and other high end Japanese scopes tend to be selling well
Wrong
You're wrong simply because your average person has been shilled the acss reticle relentlessly and will think PA is just as good.
2 reasons. A 0x red dot has limited application at distances you would want to use a rifle vs shotgun. CQB, shotgun wins all day everyday. Fight me.
But as much as I love my brick of a compm4, it sucks outside of shooting paper inside 100yds.
5x is a very good magnification for 100-300. And a prism is good for people with astigmatism.
>CQB, shotgun wins all day everyday.
That depends on how you define CQB. There's a massive difference between civilian engagements with individuals/small groups of people exchanging shots at 25 yards or less where cover seldom comes into play and where putting people down with a quick decisive shot is the primary concern, and the military definition which covers firefights between large groups of people out to 100 meters where a large portion of your ammo will go to suppressing fire.
YES
Finally competition to Vortex's 5x prism and even lighter too. Great for a WWSD/lightweight build.
Could you be any gayer?
>one ounce lighter than an ACOG
>three times as dim
nice
5 oz lighter with mount and half the size with more magnification and better reticle. going off other PA prisms, a better eye box, eye relief, and similar FOV.
Can't you just turn the brightness up?
>eye relief will suck
>eyebox will suck
>tiny FOV
the 3x has better eye relief, better eye box, and more FOV than 4x acog
lower magnification scopes are normally going to have better all of that
piggybacked optics are gay, CQB is gay.

What a useless infographic
its not an infographic you dumb frick, and CQB is objectively one of the more dangerous forms of modern combat you can subject yourself to. also home defense is not CQB lol you aren't clearing rooms you're just sitting in your bedroom waiting for the cops to show up unless you WANT to be shot in the back of the head
>its not an infographic
What would you call it, then?
>NOT CQB!!!!
Ignore the SWAT part too, nice. Why don't you respond to the response in /arg/ calling you out as well?
>What would you call it, then?
a meme. its an edit of an absurdist meme picture.
Grenades is all you need
I was thinking of rigging my front door with directional charges, but then I remembered I don't live alone 🙁
except it has significantly more. 38 feet
1.2ft more
my mistake i thought the 4x was 31 feet
Do you not realize that’s an effect of the lower magnification? If you turn down the magnification on an LPVO from 4x to 3x, your FOV also increases.
You should be looking at the relative FoV. Multiply FoV by magnification. 4x ACOG = 36.8*4. Primary Arms 3x Microprism = 38*3.
ACOG comes ahead by 30%. If the TA31 was a 3x instead of a 4x, it would have a considerably wider FoV than the PA 3x.
lol good luck turning down the magnification on your 4x ACOG dipshit.
Put a magnifier on backwards, ez
Missing the point. Have a good day dumbass.
your so-called "point" was risible and invalid. have a shitty day moron.
tree reticle
They said ACSS mil grid, so is it going to be the ACSS Griffin, or something else?
i cant imagine being able to effectively use all that math homework down there in a scope that tiny
what the frick is up with these meme overly complicated reticles, it's absolutely autistic to have a christmas tree on a fixed 5x prism
>No top RMR (or similar) mount
Dropped. I'll buy a Vortex.
no you wont lol the spitfire 5x is trash.
Proofs?
1 MOA per click
Also the vortex piggyback footprint is for their gay venom dot which sucks
>1 MOA per click
>fine enough adjustments to put your bullets within 1/2 MOA of where they need to be
Is this actually a problem?
in a world where 1 moa ARs aren't very hard to accomplish, a 1-moa adjustment is trash. every self-respecting company has 1/2-moa adjustments on their magnified optics.
>b-but ARs can shoot 1 MOA
Can you? Besides that, you aren't achieving that precise of holds with a BDC reticle.
why would you willingly have a gun that is less accurate when you can make one more accurate?
Because accuracy isn't max deviation from factor X + max deviation from factor Y + etc., and having your zero within 1/2 MOA of where your bullet is hitting rather than within 1/4 MOA is effectively meaningless.
>effectively meaningless.
weird how all of a sudden its acceptable to have 1-moa clicks ever since this 5x prism got announced and all the vortex users crawled out of their holes to shill the spitfire.
Anon, only optics I own are made by Primary Arms. An additional 1/4 MOA difference in your zero vs the point of impact of your bullets is absolutely meaningless given how that kind of optic is meant to be used.
ok well so far the only thing the spitfire has going for it is the rmr plate on the 5x and thats it. the stock mount is trash btw and the hex screws will strip instantly.
>shit that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand
Okay.
my point is that regardless of your opinions on MOA clicks, the PA prism has finer ones and generally speaking it is better on paper than the spitfire at ever level of magnification. the ONLY reason to go with a spitfire is to get the rmr mount.
>continues to rattle of points about why he thinks product A is better than product B
We get it anon.
I used to shoot with a DD rear iron that used 1 moa clicks for windage. It sucked for zeroing at 300 yds.
>It sucked for zeroing at 300 yds.
Who even does this with iron sights outside of a match environment?
I will agree with the annoyance of 1MOA clicks, though it doesn't outweigh the compactness and ability to have an RMR on top for poorgay ACOG LARPING, etc.
1 moa clicks, 14 hr auto-of and no auto-on.
speaking of magnified prisms on a P90, help me better understand eye relief: would you only have a full picture if your eyes were the ~3 inches or less from the optic? farther away, say, on a PS90 with extended buttstock, at like twice that, like 7" would the picture be shrunk with a fat black ring to the edge of the peep?
there is a range of eye relief where you get the full image, but how wide this range is varies wildly by scope.
Imagine being the Leviathan reviewer for this
>Why do you give me your shittiest products
>Because you are my best shill
they're the Kel-Tec of optics
Ok so hear me out
Flip to side PA 5x microprism with BUIS
No red dot even required anymore
How much fov it going to have?
I like the 3x, I can hit 225 yards 10” plate with subsonic 300 blackout using the bottom cross hatch
When the frick are they gonna stick this and a 1x into a rotating body and make a cheap Elcan 1-4x competitor?
part of the trouble with the elcan is making something hold zero while flipping. russian copies have terrible poi shift
that's not actually a problem with the elcan, though it has been repeated enough that low-information people nonetheless believe it. you zero it with the 4x lens, and since you only use the 1x for close range shit it doesn't really matter if it's an inch off. and even then it turned out that the only reason there was a POI shift at all on the very first models was a lack of detents at the ends of the lever, so the lever could get bumped out of position leaving the internal lenses slightly misaligned. elcan added detents after the first year's production and even that minor niggle went away.
i said russian copies of the elcan did that ya dangus
I know this comes as a total surprise to you, anon, but you forgot to delete your original comment before posting your lie
>part of the trouble with the elcan
now go away while we laugh at your stupidity
i didn't say the elcan had POI shift. i said the trouble with making it is that it can occur.
elcans don't have it. but that's part of why they're expensive. it's hard to make it.
>Alright, who even asked for this
all the homosexuals on instagram saying lpvos suck
anything other than Eotech + magnifie is just closeted in denial homosexualry because all youre doing with these homosexual low power optics is trying to emulate 'muh ebin speshul fowsays" and homosexual SOFs run nods and nod compatible setups
Anon...most non-special forces use acogs. Those are low power optics.
Would have been nice with a way to mount a dot on top
>P90 DMR build
Funny you mention that. I originally got one of those but lower magnification for my P90. I sighted it in and when I looked through it with both eyes open I had complete double vision and it was disorienting to look through. Like the PA microprism could only handle a limited amount of height over bore before it completely shit itself and was worthless as an optic. I returned it and put my old 4x Acog on it and the height over bore does not negatively affect the Acog whatsoever. Could see perfectly clear with both eyes open.
Just letting you know that the PA microprisms are essentially worthless if you're doing a large amount of height over bore.
Let me explain it to you. People own 1x, 3x, and variable power optics. Now here is a chance to buy a 5x optic! This hobby has become about consuming unfortunately. You have to buy all the newest and best gear that maximizes your paper target killing potential. Really pathetic actually.
5x prisms aren't new
