In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses a comparison between two optics, with a focus on glass quality, distortion, eye relief, and zoom performance. They mention that both optics have similar eye relief and comfortable eye boxes for side-to-side movement at 1X and 6X zoom levels. The speaker highlights the advantage of the primary arms (PA) optic in terms of tolerance for left and right movement. They note that there is no scope tunneling during zoom adjustments and find the middle magnifications useful for engaging smaller targets within 100 yards. The glass clarity at maximum magnification is commended, with less noticeable distortion at 6X. The PA optic is perceived as being sharper and more detailed than the Vortex PST at higher zoom levels. The presence of color fringing is discussed, with the speaker noting that it may be visible at high magnifications but is generally not a significant issue in practical use. Additionally, the speaker mentions that one of the significant improvements in the Gen 4 optic is its daylight brightness.

In this segment of the video, the key points are focused on the PA scope’s daylight brightness, its high visibility even in bright light settings, minimal orange illumination splashing, and its usefulness in mixed lighting environments. The scope’s wide field of view, thin bezel, and bright daylight illumination make it suitable for Red Dot speed shooting. The external controls, including the low-profile and cap turrets, lack positive feedback and may require caution to prevent accidental adjustments. The diopter and zoom ring in the rear of the scope are also discussed for adjusting and achieving a flat view at 1X magnification.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the zoom ring of the scope, mentioning that it is stiff and comes with an included throw lever that may be uncomfortable to use. They also talk about the left side of the scope where the illumination knob is located, mentioning the battery cap and the ability to easily turn the knob from zero to eleven. It is noted that there is no stop between levels on the illumination knob. The video also mentions the availability of different reticles for the scope, specifically focusing on the noble reticle with middle spacing and a daylight bright dot. The speaker describes the reticle’s features, including precise centering and moving target indicators. The comparison is made to the Vortex PST, highlighting that the controls are better on the PST.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the reticle on a scope, highlighting the mil hashes and shoulder width markers for ranging targets. They mention using 18-inch markers and how to determine distance based on the reticle’s markings. The speaker also mentions their test setup in Australia using specific ammo and a 16-inch Criterion Barrel with a 100-yard zero for ease of calculation. They then demonstrate shooting at long distances using the reticle’s mill hash lines and evaluate its tracking performance with steel targets at various distances. The speaker praises the scope for disrupting the entry-level and mid-tier LPBO market with its features and affordable price, commending Primary Arms for their scope design.
