Damn, I want one of these and I don't even have a rifle to put it on...  I'm already committed to the PA 1x6 with the ACSS for the lone AR that I have.

At about 4:25 into the video, MrGunsAndGear recommends Locktite on a couple of screws on the mount.  Don't ignore this piece of advice!  40 rounds in and mine were lose.

Yeah I checked mine before I mounted it and they were just barely snug to start with.

 I see they are back to $250 and out of stock now.

I will just merge a couple different threads into one since it seems optics sales for some things have been more or less regular.

If the PA 2.5x comes back around for $100 I'm going to grab one.

That's damn tempting.  I'll probably have to wait on an optic for a bit. I spent all my allowance on the rifle!  :)

I've been looking around though.  Primary Arms sells open box deals on ebay, and they have the PA 2.5x prism scope for $115 and free shipping. I may pick one of those up when I can afford to. All the reviews say they look new, work fine and have warranty. They say previously mounted on a rifle, so I wonder if they are units that have been sent back for repair?

Meanwhile I have a cheap 3x9 I can throw on there for a function check. I also have a Holosun that I put on the Turknelli, but an optic like that on a shotgun isn't really necessary.

How is the eye box on that PA prism scope OP?

The eye box is generous being low powered, the eye relief is great compared to many prism scopes. 

Basically the negatives are the low power yet not 1x for those who like both eyes open, and it's not the newer gen of micro size. About the size of an Aimpoint Comp M4, which is not huge, but takes rail space and weighs more which adds up when running a magnifier. 

Glass wise it compares pretty well with much more expensive Burris RT3 or Gen 1 Vortex spitfires

Primary arms SLx 3x micro prism scope, blem $210

https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx-3x-microprism-with-red-illuminated-acss-raptor-556-308-reticle-yard_2

I just came here to post this.

It’s an excellent optic I have this 3x on a PSA KS47 and the 1x on a Ruger 9mm PCC. Definitely worth the price of admission at $210.00.
