Primary arms micro prism8/14/2023 It was pretty derpy to try to call him out when you’ve barely been here. Ilya does lots of detailed optic reviews and is going to often get optics early or before they are released publicly. I tried finding that thread, but I guess it's too old to show up in search results now. There was a guy in the other 3x microprism thread who swore he had one already, then finally realized he had the old PA 3x prism and mistakingly thought it was the same one. So you can keep your retard emojis to yourself. Notice I said *** IF*** it's the same guy I'm thinking about. He even specifically refers to the " PA 3x microprisim". He has a long and well respected record of objectively, (probably more so than anyone else) evaluating optics. It's ILya (DLO), I'm sure he received a porotype to evaluate like Mrgunsngear, Grand Thumb and our resident MRW. ![]() If it's the same guy I'm thinking of from the other 3x microprism thread, he has the older bigger 3x prism and mistakingly thought it was the same one. How did you get a hold of the 3x Micro Prism? I do not know if it will give me any better performance, but it looks prettier.īeyond that, I need to spend some more time with them. After some consideration, I think I will put the I do have a Geissele Aimpoint Micro mount somewhere, so I will probably use that for the Spitfire. As a practical matter, I do not anticipate mount issues with any of these. Burris' integrated mount is, obviously, going to have the fewest failure points, I suppose. Burris's mount is integrated.įrom a ruggedness standpoint, PA's mount is probably a little more durable, than Vortex', but I have not really had issues with either. PA uses a compact ACOG type mounting system. Vortex's Gen2 prismatics seem to be compatible with various Aimpoint Micro mounts. The apparent magnification looks very similar between the two. I will need to make some measurements to be sure. Interestingly, objective lenses looks to be of slightly different size with PA 3x appearing to have slightly larger objective lens and slightly larger exit pupil. Without illumination, in low light, it is a bit easier to lose this reticle than I would have liked. The illumination is day visible, but not as bright as on the PA. Burris' reticle is, unfortunately a bit on the thin side, so it relies on having illumination more than I like. The illumination of the horseshoe does appear bright enough that I can use BAC with this scope, but I need to spend more time on that. I also like having the wind holds in the reticle. ![]() Reticle illumination on the PA is clearly brighter with a larger and thicker horseshoe. PA's prismatic also appears to be a little easier to get behind and comes with a bunch of different risers and offset plates, so it is easier to set up just the way you want it.Įye relief on the Burris is slightly longer and truthfully, both are fairly forgiving of eye position. The overall size and FOV are broadly similar. I am working on the side-by-side between the RT-3 and PA 3x microprisms. However, PA's 3x SLx looks to be made in a different place since there are fairly obvious construction differences. I also have the Burris RT-3 here and Vortex Spitfire Gen2 5x, so I am kinda going over most of the micro prisms out there.īurris RT-3 and Vortex Spitfire Gen2 3x (I do not have it, but I have seen it) appear to be made at the same place. I have both the 1x and 3x SLx micro prisms from PA and I have to say they are really nice optics for the money and really exceptional given how tiny and inexpensive they are. ![]() And yes, I want the piggybacked RMR on the 3X too every reason that it makes sense on a 4x+ also applies to a 3x. I think a TA-33 and/or TA31 competitor, with comparable weight and quality, but running on a battery (>10,000 hr life and/or autolive), and with an rmr mounting pad similar to what Vortex built into their 5X (but RMR rather than Vortex venom footprint). If PA could design a 4x prism in the GLx/PLx category with autolive, higher quality glass, 0.25MOA adjustments, RMR/MRDS mounting, etc. I absolutely agree with this, there is definitely a market for this type of prism. If PA could create a Japanese Prism in the $600-$800 range, that takes their excellent features of their GLX 2X and then adds a RMR/Holsun MRDS mounting option, I think they'd be very popular. Steiner (gigantic and heavy, poor RDS mount, but German.) ACOG (awesome but getting a little dated) ![]() Pair their excellent designs and reticles with top tier glass and 'top tier' ruggedization.īecause when it comes to 'Tier 1' or 'Combat Grade' or 'Non Chinese' (However we define this rarified height), there is really very few choices. I think there would be a market for a PA 'Platinum Prism' made in Japan like their Platinum LPVO's.
