Very good deal! - Primary Arms SLx 4-14 x 44 mm Rifle Scopes, 30 mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP)

I know, "...but you only gave it 3 stars!", this is a realistic review. It is a good deal, you get a scope that works and first focal plane rules! I zeroed my rifle in two shots, -nice. For the money it costs I would rate it 5 stars but in a market of awesome scopes it is a 3. I am not knocking it in any way, that is just the truth and why it costs what it does; value shoppers can stop reading here and just buy it. It is not as bright as a S&B, the clicks are not as good as a U.S. Optic, it is heavier than an SWFASS..., the list goes on and on but it is only $230 and it works. FFP scopes cost more but are worth it; which I found out using this one. The things which could be improved would be to include the sunshade and change the reticle to something like the Tac Vector or the SWFA. Everything is a compromise to the price but I have had many cheap scopes that included sunshades and better reticles, so there is room for improvement there. If someone knows of a FFP scope that is a better deal than this one, please share it with us. Tac Vector is an option but PA has better quality control in my opinion. I actually bought a Tac Vector and thought it was a clearer view and a much better reticle but the reticle was actually not lined up right and I returned it and got this scope instead. This scope performs like it should. If QC goes up at Tac Vector, Primary Arms is going to be in trouble though.
