Rock solid - Primary Arms SLx 1-8x24mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

This is my 3rd PA scope,(two 1-8 and one 1-6), so obviously I think that PA makes good value scopes for the $$. I also have 2 Swampfox Arrowhead (one each, 1-8 and 1-6) and 1 Steiner 1-4, so I have several brands and powers to refer to. The PA have very good glass, Swampfox are a very close second, but the big difference is the reticle. PA makes the best ACSS style reticle on the market, bar none. With the accessory throw lever moving the power to your need is quick and smooth, although it is an additional cost where with Swampfox it's included with the initial purchase of the scope, not a deal breaker but something to consider. All of these were under $500 and so far I feel that the PA 1-8 is a great value for the money. To get anything appreciably better you'll need to spend about 3X's the money!
