Just looked at Primary Arms new product announcement page and they've got the PlXC in SFP with the BRIGHT Nova reticle. And it is slightly lighter and shorter than the original FFP version. This the optic that finally outdoes the Razor 1-6e??

They don’t do MSRP as they are the manufacturer. I would bet on it being $ 1500 like the current PLxC scopes.

This should be an amazing scope, I will be preordering as soon as they are available.

I think this is a good move for them going from SLX to platinum glass, although I think there will be some disappointment that this isn't a FFP scope like their current Compact.  

I'm guessing they'll continue to sell that model as well.

Meh.  FFP doesn't have much value in a 1-6, and can be a detriment if they F up the reticle, which most seem to do.

Outside of reticles designed for FFP LPVOs, like Nighforce's FC-DMx, FFP is a gimmick. You're not going to see the hash marks to do hold overs at lower magnification. If you're going to do hold overs it's at maximum power.

Yes for 6x, a SFP works better. Once I get to 8-10x, I like having an FFP because you lose FOV at the higher powers. For 300-400 yd targets, ideally, I only want 6x and spin up to 8x for anything longer.
I’m shooting a K18i now so I’m well versed on SFP 1-8 optics but prefer FFP once it gets to that magnification.

I wouldn't count on it, the PLxC’s have not gone on any sales and the coupon codes never work for them. As hot as these are going to be I don’t see the price going lower, hopefully Im wrong.

I guess I was making reference to the 1-6 comparison in the previous post.  But yea, I can begin to see it at 8x.  I can't make out reticle data until about 6x anyway, but it might be useful with more mag.  The thing is, when I get above 6x I want to increase the lower power as well as the larger objective of a 2-10.  But, I can see a 1-8 as a good compromise.  Maybe will have to go look through one in the "dark" and see how much light is lost compared to a 40mm objective.

PA is saying on their IG that it’s the same price as their current FFP compact.

They also announced an SLX Nova 1-10 in SFP.
Link Posted: 1/20/2024 8:52:15 AM EDT
[#20]
I guess I don't see the point. It's essentially a Delta Stryker with an extra 2x on top for 2x the price.

What would be really interesting would be something FFP in 1-8x with high-end glass, a nuclear bright reticle, and the same compact size and ~17oz weight at the same ~$1500 price point as the current PLX-c.

Oh wait, that's an NX8.

A direct alternative for the NX8 would be interesting. Or even better, a cheaper alternative...

It being SFP seems like a plus to me. FFP LPVOs tend to be a mess with their reticles at one end or the other of their mag, or often, at both ends.

I'm sure that a lot of people are going to like the scope, but it just doesn't interest me at all. Sure, the bright reticle is great, but I don't see why they can't put that on the FFP version.

Getting a reticle that bright in FFP takes a specific technology that is very expensive. The NX8 has it and is priced similarly, so there might be other factors at play?

I don't understand the complaints here about this because we now have both options. If you don't like sfp then buy the ffp, it's pretty simple, no?

Unless you don't like the chevron then I can understand.

That reticle would suck in FFP, it would join a long list of shitty FFP afterthought reticles.

True but the example of the one that I had it wasn't really necessary. The crosshairs are all the way across on 1x and were thick enough to be visible on bright sunny days especially with snow cover. I needed the illum at dusk or when viewing into darker areas.  

The problem with the FFP at 1x was the center with that horseshoe and chevron covered up a lot of the target once you got beyond 50 yards. At 100 it would almost completely cover up an 18x12 steel target.

Yeah you could just bump the magnification up a bit when that happens ,but I like to be able to use them at 1x out to 100 and not have them completely cover up a target of that size. YMMV.

I think your statement is generally true if the targets are high contrast. So, if you have a white or brown target in sunlight, it will be visible. However, once you have targets in shadow or even blacked-out targets, it’s very hard to make out center reticles without daylight bright illumination.

I just left the illum on so that was never a problem with both high contrast and "blackened" targets.

Only reason I didn't keep mine was I didn't like the chevron at 8x, but that's just me.

Even my razor that is daylight bright was kept on a medium setting and I used it the same way, and never felt the need to have it "daylight bright" due to the crosshairs.

I replaced my NX8 with the PLXC and I would be happy if it had illumination.
Alternatively, if NF comes out with an optic with BDC and maybe a thinner ocular bezel, that's a winner for me as well.

But for now, both optics leave me wanting what the other had.

I'd day with it being 1-6 instead of 1-8 and SFP instead of FFP it may come in at a lower price than anticipated.

um... it's not 1-6x.

If it was 1-6x and sfp with a nuclear bright dot, it would have to come in around $700 (half of the current msrp) to be competitive with the delta stryker, which is essentially exactly that.

Looking at the specs it looks like the 1-8 PLx Nova will have a tighter 1x eyebox than the 1-6 SLx Nova.  I know the 1x eyebox difference, thought huge, was noticeable from my PX4i to the SLx Nova.

I am not sure if this is true for all optics but it seems the higher the top end magnification the tighter the eyebox will be at 1x.

I am extremely happy with my PLxC 1-8. I am not a huge fan of the chevron but the rest of the package more than does it for me. Weight and footprint have always been important factors for me. I have owned all of them, Schmidt Dual CC, Swaro, Kahles, Vortex, NF . . . you name it and PA produces this for $1500. Impressive. I can't wait for the SFP Nova. I have been holding off on a FDE Griffin because I remember from an old thread discussing PA reticles that PA user dropped a hint on something along these lines. I am in for at least 3.

I was looking at the FFP variants hard, as a fan of most things ACSS the PLxC reticles (FFP) all look like John Maden had a stroke while going to town on the play board.



It would be awesome to have some of the tree elements of the ACSS combined with the Nova but I guess it’s technically difficult or impossible or whatever.

I am no expert and someone please correct me if I’m wrong but I think to have the floating tree dots you have to have an etched reticle and it is the fiber wire that allows the daylight bright center dot. It must be difficult to have both. I think the Razor is a wire reticle.

This is the PLx-C's problem - if they COULD add the nuclear bright dot to the FFP version with it's ACSS reticle, it would be more expensive, but the PLX-C already costs about what a NX8 does, which already has detailed + nuclear bright reticles.
