The Vector Paragon 4x and Vortex Spitfire 5x both have built in reflex sight mounts which is more attractive than the Piggyback RDS mount. Are there any plans on an equivalent in the 3x and 5x models? The one with the most forgiving eyebox wins
 Is the Specter DR still under patent? Something similar is what I'd ultimately like to see without selling a kidney... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JTX23: 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. So I thought about this. Why not have a purchasable mount insert that has basically a bottom half of a scope ring that extends around the front of the optic so that is just clears the power knob and use a mating top half of the ring that has an integrated MOS plate? Make the rings fat like a body positivity movement ad. Use 7075. Test that and see how well it holds up. Has to work a lot better than the current mount. Save the integrated mount for the next gen and give customers a really good solution for this gen. I am a mailbox mount away from the perfect set up! |

Downside to that design is you still need to mount a 1x on top for NV and Id rather have the heads up orientation in a lot of 1x solutions so there is a lot of money and weight going to something I wouldn't want. 4 or 5x with a really good mailbox mount solution is my goldilocks. |

I don’t want to beat a dead horse and keep asking for the same thing but…..
A 2x microprism in the 3x body, 4-5” of eye relief, 18mm + exit pupil and 30 feet at 100 yards fov. An improved TA47 if you will. The TA47 has the best balance of eye box, fov and the body disappearing so you’re left with your natural fov and a blur of an optic and super easy to pick up from 5 yards to 250 yards you get into the optic. It’s kinda hard to explain until you get behind the TA47 do some run n gun from point blank to 300 yards. It’s the easy button of an optic. |

I don’t know if you guys already have something like this, but it would be nice to see a company making lighter weight options. Something with good glass, but not as many…features?…so to speak. I think would not only help with weight, but also cost.
A LPVO and a mid range-ish optic in this line would be really attractive to me. |

A LPVO and a mid range-ish optic in this line would be really attractive to me. Our PLxC 1-8x24 FFP Rifle Scope is one of the lightest LPVO in the market at 16.95 oz. in length of 9.28 in. but also our high end optic. For mid range optic we would recommend is our SLx 1-6x24mm SFP Rifle Scope Gen IV - Illuminated ACSS Nova Fiber Wire Reticle - at 17.9 oz. in length of 10.4 in. We will continue to explore different ideas and bring the innovation to the market! Thank you for your input! |

Made in America complete line. Everything sourced and made here in the states, with the possible exception of glass made in Japan if it adds too much cost to be made here.
1st model out of that line. LPVO, / 1-6 power, FFP, simple etched BDC reticle with chevron aiming point, daylight bright, off settings between each power setting, metal adjustment internals for tactile and audible clicks. 30-33mm tube. Price should be around $600 give or take $100 |

 Offer your prism optics in a clear anodized finish. it would look much better than fde cerakote and be a hot seller for you. If you must keep the round embedded emblems make them flat brown or something for a clear ano and flat black for the black anodized finishes, ditch the chrome please.

Please offer simple retitles! No crazy BDC or ranging stuff. Either crosshairs or just a chevron. Maybe crosshairs with an illuminated dot in the middle. I would buy multiple 1x/3x/5x prisms but hate all the goofy reticle designs. My favorite optic I own is a TA01 acog with the LAPD crosshairs. Ok that’s all. Thanks!

A cross with a 2 moa dot in the middle would be fantastic, and just to keep your reticle engineer busy you could size the cross so it’s still good for 8.6 mph run / wind hold. The bottom of the cross could be a 400 yard hold, so it could be dead simple yet still fit in the ACSS functionality family. |

Tagging on for an improved Glx prism
1) 4x-5x 2) Built in top mount for k series red dot (as low profile as possible and all the way forward on the optic) 3) 30+ft FOV 4) Nova reticle 5) Small center dot only illumination, and honestly if the illumination is gonna be weak just scrap it altogether 6) Better than ta31 eye relief 7) ~10ish oz without mount 8) Oh and keep the diopter, obviously |

Maybe it isn't able to be designed that way? I don't know about the engineering behind scopes. |

Pretty please, with sugar on top, make a fixed 6 or 8 power scope with a good bdc and GLX+ glass for dedicated use with an rmr/T1.

A simple compact red or green and ir laser that will handle recoil and not cost $700-$1000.
A compact LED illuminator version would be fine too as long as it's smaller/lighter than the DBAL D2. I think the LED seen by the naked eye issue is way overblown. That can also be mitigated by going up in NM. While that requires more power for more output, it's also 2024, use a 18650 or 18350.
