Beyond impressed - Primary Arms SLx 4-14 x 44 mm Rifle Scopes, 30 mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP)

I was looking for a mil dot optic for my 20” AR and always wanted to try the SWFA 10x for its classic design but decided to try this 4-14x to get more power if needed. WOW I wasn’t expecting this level of quality in this price range. I’m literally blown away by Primary Arms for putting out an optic of this quality at this price. I’m not saying it’s on the same level as my Cronus or XTRII, but I wasn’t looking for another massive 34mm tube optic with highly detailed reticle, I wanted something smaller, but tough with a simple reticle for that classic military DMR role. THIS IS THE PERFECT OPTIC for that role. I’m used to good glass that still gets a little dim at higher mags on my 4.5-29 Cronus and 10-40 Burris, so to have this Primary arms at 14x and it’s still crisp and clear with a comfortable eye-box is a huge relief. The body of the optic is probably thicker than anything I own and you can see and feel that. The finish is quality anodizing and looks great. The controls are all optimal without stiff points and the “clicks” feel snappy and tight. Btw this $220 scope easily has the best diopter adjustment of any optic I’ve ever owned and that’s a shame on many higher end manufacturers, because Primary Arms nailed it! I’m literally excited by the quality and value in this 4-14x44. It’s my first primary arms optic, but it won’t be my last.
