Although the way the Holosun EPS uses the 507K footprint is very good as well if you can get away from using a mini rail interface. |

I just got my SLX 1-6 a couple of days ago and love it! The dot setup reminds me of an Elcan Spectre setup but at an awesome price point.What else would I like to see? Off the top of my head....
1. Nova reticle in cyclops. 2. Green dot Nova reticle option. 3. 1-8 FFP Nova SLX 4. Aurora or ACSS type height reticle range estimation lines in Nova. 5. ACSS with dot vs. tiny chevron, yeah I know it's not a precision optic thing but I love the dot. |

Other than making more affordable lasers and illuminators, nothing. The main cost of analog NV is the tube, which there's really nothing PA can do anything about. Believe me, I wish it was otherwise. However, that said, lasers are severely overpriced on the civilian market! I would love to see a cheaper RAID-X style laser with VCSEL illuminator without a 10000% markup. |

A diopter ring upgrade on SLX 1x Microprism.
The 1x ring is relatively narrow (0.15"), combined with the rearward taper (with ensuing loss of "grip" grooves) and that it's stiffer to turn than the 3x, makes it hard to get a good finger purchase. Particularly when it fully closed, or nearly so. And especially when it's close in front of a magnifier. I just got a magnifier, couldn't get a good enough ring grip while mounted in front, had to take the prism off the rail to turn the ring each time. The 3x ring is much wider (0.25"), much easier to get a good purchase on, and turns easier to boot. Suggestion: 1) use the 3x ring on the 1x and/or 2) eliminate the taper and keep the grip grooves full width of ring (not as "svelte" as tapered, but more practical) Aside from above, the rest of the 1x is awesome! I convinced a friend to get one, and neither of us could get the diopter to begin turning. Had to use a set of channel-locks to get the first 1/4 turn. |

We apologize for the inconvenience. iPad with safari. Now it lets me log in just clicking the “I’m not a robot” box without showing the recaptcha pictures. Using a VPN but didn’t have trouble anywhere else. I’d really like a green dot pistol sight designed to lessen astigmatism. Green, dimmable with a tiny moa and probably holographic in an enclosed box is what I believe would work best. But it’s still new to me. My RMR, Aimpoint T1, Holosun 507c and others are all getting really bad to my dominant eye. |

How about tanodize?
The tanodize on the Vortex Strike Eagle looks really good, even better than the Razor. The tanodize Riton uses is kind of a gross looking copper. Sig’s is more of a brown but still better than Riton’s. Not sure if Sig has them patented, but the witness marks they use for leveling are genuinely helpful. |

The competition world loves to use c-mores because of the large dots (6/8/10/12 moa) and large window. But these are open emitter and take a weird battery and have bad battery life with no auto shutoff.
Maybe take one of the large window enclosed optics (MD25) and give it a larger than 2 MOA dot. Preferably A 6 or 8 MOA dot. Strictly for hosing with good battery life. Common batteries. And enclosed so a drop of rain doesn’t ruin your stage! 2moa is the standard for general purpose stuff but it’s sub optimal for uspsa/steel challenge PCC/rimfire rifle competition as you have to Jack the brightness up that leads to dot focus instead of target focus. Plus a 6moa dot is at home on a shotgun as proven by the Aimpoint S1 |

Missed this. You guys are going to see this much more frequently. Java is being phased out by almost all platforms which means Captcha will be unsupported Industry wide in the next year or two. Additionally, any semi decent AI will bypass about any existing captcha. Just imagine all those AI made pictures going around. Captcha doesn’t stand a chance and is just a feel good act. Two factor authentication is your best bet for yourself and customers if you really want to do it right. (Works in the industry) |

I’m curious what the 5x prisms would be like with GLx or “HD” type glass you see in long range scopes, and the difference in price.
A little better eye relief never hurts but at this point y’all have probably wrung out every millimeter you can get.. love the picture on a sunny day, haven’t gotten out much to see in poor conditions. |

I would love to see:
8 or 10x monocular with decent glass (GLX) with an ACSS ranging reticle. Not really a MIL or MOA reticle but a quick reference ranging reticle for humans/ animals / common things like vehicles etc. 3x Micro prism scout scope or a low fixed power with ACSS An updated macro prism with the ability to mount a mini reflex on top. The Gen 3 is great but the new gen micros are better in most every way. That being said, I actually prefer the Reticle in the Gen 3 compact vs the micro. The Koala of death reticle is my favorite. |

I have been extremely impressed with the PLXC 1-8. It is small and light with a great reticle. I used to be a huge fan of the Trijicon Credo 1-8 and the Nightforce ATACR 1-8, but the PLXC is just lighter and smaller. I really appreciate the weight savings.
I have been replacing my Triji’s and my Nightforce for them. Crazy to say, but I like the PLXC better. I eventually bought a PLX 6-30 because I liked the compact so much. I really like it, but it’s definitely on the heavier side (obviously because it’s a 6-30). So what I’d like to see is two new additions to the PLX FFP family. A 2-10 and a 3-18 that stays as light weight and as compact as possible. I don’t need to be able to throw it off a mountain cliff and have it survive. Light and compact please! Basically follow the formula of the PLCX but with more magnification (and still FFP). |

After trying out the piggy back mount for the 5x I have to say I would like to see a new body for the 5x that integrates a mount for the piggy back option. I really appreciate how well PA took customers' input and turned around a solution but unfortunately I don't think there is a way to get enough material or even going with 7075 with additional material would make this robust enough. I love the 5x but for me to purchase more I need a durable solution for the piggy back that will hold zero. PA is really hitting it out of the park with their optics and I hope they are the company to fill this void in the marketplace.
