Looking at a new scope

[Baroid]

I have a 12.5 pistol mainly hunting everything here in Texas plus a little med range target shooting. Im looking at the Leupold VX-R Hog 1.25-4x20mm Riflescope, FireDot Pig Plex Illum. Reticle and the Primary Arms SLx6 1-6x24mm SFP Rifle Scope Gen III - Illuminated ACSS-PREDATOR. Anyone have any experience with either? I've never had a Primary Arms but I've had a couple Leupolds and I know and love the clarity of the glass. Theres no place near to me that has a Primary Arms scope.

Primary Arms has REAL fast shipping but I doubt they will be as clear as a Leupold. I had a Leupold AR with the Firedot but wasn't enough for my older eyes. Very good scope.

I have a Primary Arms 4x16 on my 18in Grendel. Great scope for $159.00. Is it a Leopold or Burris? No but I like it and it does a good job.

I have a leupold vxr hog with the pig pled reticle. I really like it for hunting but not so much for target shooting.

You should really look thru a scope vs looking at it

I have a 1-6x24 Vortex Razor on my 300 BO that I use for hog hunting.It also works well out to 400 yrds.But,it may be out of your price range.My buddy has a Vortex strikeeagle 1-6 illuminated scope he uses for hog hunting.Works great for him,and I see him use it out on the 200 yrd range.It is in the $300 price range and will do what you want.The strike Eagle has decent glass and tracks well.
I also have a budget hog hunting 300 BO rig I keep under the back seat of my truck.It has a 300blk Nikon 2-7x32 scope on it.I have taken many hogs with it.And it is inexpensive enough for me to not worry about getting mud on it.

good post!

[mdram]

dont overlook the swampfox if you are in the market for an lvpo. the glass on my surprised me for the price point
theres a review on here by another member

To me, I think folks tend to overpower the glass, at the expense of weight and field of view. I quite like the primary Arms 2.5x for a 25-200 yard primary field usage rig.

The Leupold scopes with the Firedot reticle are some of my favorite values in the sub $500 range. You might want to consider the Steiner P4Xi as well, since it has clearer glass than the Leupold VXRs.

I have a bunch of Primary Arms stuff, scopes, prisms and redots.......in general, I like their stuff, mostly for the ACSS reticles. But, and they’re is always a “but”, I’m not sure they have quite the same warranty as “a” Vortex or Leupold does. Just something to be aware of and factor in to the “true” cost when purchasing an optic.

I think they have more of a sliding scale. Their Platinum Series is pretty much 100% lifetime, etc, but the lower end, less expensive stuff I “hear” does not. And depending on the model and age of the optic, the warranty gets prorated. Again, I generally like PA but all warranty’s are not created equal and it’s pretty tough to beat Vortex’s transferable, no receipt, lifetime warranty and service.
