I have a first focal plane scope on my RPR (Bushnell DMR) and would like to stay with a FFP for my seldomly used hunting rifle.
Anyone have and use the Primary Arms scopes and in particular the FFP models?
Since I rarely use this rifle the sale prices of $199 seem pretty attractive as compared to the $1200 DMR, but I*m hesitant because $199 seems almost too cheap for a FFP scope.
Anyone?
I*d trust the opinions of those here more than those of anonymous reviewers.
Primary arms is a fantastic company and I've used a few of their optics, all positively. I agree, the 4-14x HUD DMR on sale for $199 is an awesome value. I haven't used it but I'd be surprised if you're unhappy. With free returns and a relatively low price, there's little risk.

Thanks. I saw online reviews but was hoping someone here would chime in.Quote:

The glass is excellent, it’s a solid scope very robust, the Illumination is great, windage and elevation turrets are well built, and the scope tracks perfectly.
My only complaint is the eye relief is not super forgiving but good enough for me to get comfortable behind the Ruger Ranch I put it on.
Next spring I plan in scoping another 308 bolt action I have and it will be with something from PA in the GLX FFP line which is now made in the Philippines
So that’s a positive for the anti Chicom buyers.
Thanks, combined with the thumbs up from jt above I*m seriously considering the 4X14 grid reticle.Quote:

Decisions...
Don't quote me, but I'd suspect that PA wouldn't hold you to the 3 year warranty. They're one of those companies that (at least at this point in time) go above and beyond and if at year 4 you dropped it on a rock and cracked the glass.. they'd probably just send you a new one. I follow the Industry Section at AR15.com that the CEO runs and when someone posts with an issue, his response is usually "email me direct and we'll take care of it" no matter what.Quote:

For the batteries, two came with my scope. One in and an extra one in one of the other caps. Not sure if they'd extend the discount to rings, but there's discount codes for free one piece mounts with some of the scopes. If you e-mail them maybe they'd switch them to two rings instead?
They aren’t going to be the same quality but they aren’t junk either. They are well received and probably built in the same factory as vortex and a few others
My FFP Vortex has a small label on it. CHINA. Many get fooled by the Vortex USA under the turret. Don't get me wrong, I love the scope. Just that I think they are stretching the marketing codes.
I have several of their scopes. The 3-18 ffp, 2x 4-14ffp, 1-8 sfp, and a 1-6 sfp. They are all really nice scopes for the money and really nice scopes period.
