Okay guys, where is my 5.45x39 scope? I want it now

In all seriousness, do you guys have a ETA on it?

No ETA we are hoping before Xmas but nothing for sure yet.

Wow. just re read this post to discover tlyou will offer this reticle in a variable power scope. Holy guacamole.

i would like to second the opinion that 4-14 power is overkill. i think a 1-6x would be ideal for 5.56.

If you ever start thinkin of 308 a 1-10 would be awesome.

Definately front focal plane would be a winner. and as light as possible while being rugged.

Any news on the 5.56 scopes? I hope you guys release them before Xmas!

.308 in a 10x would be nice

I've done some thinking on this, and I think this reticle in a scope with the following specs would be a huge seller:

-2.5-10X40
-Side Parallax
-Illumination (either red or green, but preferably not BOTH in the same scope)
-First Focal Plane
-BDC elevation knob to give the option of dialing in correction for ranges determined from reticle

For illumination, the brightest setting should be daytime visible, and the lowest setting should be dim enough to barely be visible at night, hence the single color for grwater number of settings on the rheostat.

Very few manufacturers have any scopes available that combine FFP, Illumination, and Side Parallax adjustment. If you could bring something like that to the market at a competitive price ($300-$400), it would be an instant success as long as it keeps with your current track record of reliability.

Just curious why would you want the BDC in a turret instead of the reticle?
Once you start messing with dials tracking is not always true and it's just more moving parts to worry about.
The rest of your comment is very interesting hopefully enough people understand the reticles value and request it in higher end scopes like you mentioned.

Thanks again

The BDC wouldn't be there instead of the reticle, but rather in addition to the reticle to allow shots to be dialed in and aimed dead center if the shooter likes that method better than holding over. The BDC I'm thinking of would be kind of a hybrid between BDC and standard target turret. Rather than a knob with clicks only at pre-determined ranges, it could be set at .1 mil or 1/2 moa clicks with ranges simply marked on the turret.

Honestly, of all the features I listed the BDC turret would be the first one I'd be willing to give up. I typically shoot using holdovers anyway, but I understand that a lot of guys like to dial in as well. In truth, for a DMR scope with ranging and holdover reticle, capped adjustments are probably best. A good compromise would probably be some low profile target turrets. Something low enough to avoid being snagged on stuff and thrown out of adjustment. Low profile turrets would also facilitate the use of a micro red dot sight atop a railed scope ring cap for close in use.

One of the problems with a standard turret using MOA is that you would end up with 1-2 complete revolutions.
This reticle was created for fast ranging and engaging of targets having limited time of exposure.In testing we were able to engage targets faster and more accurately in all angles with out a known given range. The best solution to what your talking about is this reticle but dial in turrets giving you the option for precision type shooting or dialing in. You would aim with center dot
giving you the best of both worlds.
I can't disclose much as far as what's coming next, all I can say is great things are to come from PA.

I wonder if I should wait for the 5x or go with the current 3x. Are you gonna put this reticule on the 3x later on?

Not at this time

Tagged for release date. So far I have been nothing but impressed with every pa red dot I have so I'm sure ill be impressed with this one. I want one.

I was lucky enough to shoot with this new optic while out with dimitri, it's simplicity is great since I'm new to ranging targets and wind age reading this optic was easy to use and looks great. We were mainly shooting approx 470 yards but playing around out to 800 before packing up and it does great

Ill def pick one up for my 5.45 AR and Ak
