    Primary Arms Deluxe 3x mag!

    I just purchased a 3x magnifier from them yesterday afternoon. I've heard a lot of good reviews about them from people here on the forum but not a "field" type review with a video and everything. I'm fairly new to youtube and all, but I was seeing if there was enough people on here interested in a video review for this magnifier. If there's enough people I will probably end up making one for the forum.
    Let me know what you guys think!
    Thanks

    I'd be interested in hearing what you think.

    I've been considering one to go with my SPARC.

      I've been debating getting one of their 5x magnifiers, especially since they're on sale. A video review would be good to see what kind of glass they have.

        I've got a 5x from them in a QD mount. It's great.

        Unfortunately, I really don't have a good way to do video, myself.

          I feel a little awkward doing a video, but hell I'll do it anyways! Just a heads up...I'm only 19, so I'm still "new" to the firearms hobby.

              PA has the flip to side mount, so I ordered it. Total shipped to my door. $148

                They didn't have the flip to side mount when I got my setup ... might have to go back and get one of those. The QD mount is annoying, because I have to find a place to put the thing when it's not on the rifle. I'm constantly worried I'll lose it, or it'll fall, or get scratched ...etc.

                    I have their 3x mag on my AR and it works great. I don't have the means to make videos but otherwise I'd help out. I've had no probs with the mag though.

                      just searched youtube and there are a few video reviews on there

                      i saw two reviews where the reviewer said they liked the pa mag better than the eotech

                        I had the PA 3x mag + the flip mount. They worked great! However, they are HEAVY...

                        The mount and mag had plenty of clearance for my Troy folding rear BUIS...

                        I used mine behind an EOTech 552 mounted directly to the rail (i.e. no riser) and had no issues...

                        They are IMHO, an excellent introductory mount and mag, especially if you don't have the funds for the Aimpont or EOTech...

                        I don't have this set up any longer because I eventually upgraded to the EOTech 3x mag (which has an integral flip mount, and also happens to be much lighter than the PA setup)...

                        But YMMV...

                          I'm in the same situation. I don't need a crazy expensive one since it's just gunna be used for fun.

                          Ide like to see a review. I can care less what the person sounds like ect, just interested in there honest opinion. So don't be shy, heck you dont even gotta show your face
