    EDIT: Yards PLXC is in stock RIGHT NOW, it's going to be gone ASAP.
    Sorry for the delay. This video is over 3mo old.
    FYI: I'm still using this scope now (along side the scope switch). It really is my favorite LPVO.
    Just be sure to focus the diopter to the 1x, and I think you'll be impressed as well
    An no, I bought this scope with my own money.

      I'm really thinking that this lpvo with the mil reticle will suit me well on my ak103. It's light weight, has a good 1x and really just checks all the boxes im looking for in my first lpvo. Although I do want to get a 4x posp to mess around with a test out for myself, since there really aren't any good reviews on it.

    After seeing your review on the Primary Arms SLX I bought one for $305 with mount. I’m new to LPVOs and this was my first one. I’m very happy with it especially with the Nova reticle. I guess the PLX is the gold standard now and maybe one day I’ll have one. Optic technology is moving fast and it’s expensive trying to keep up.

    Great vid Brass Facts!
    I had the griffin mil version of the PLxC 1-8. I liked it, but returned it because I was losing illumination on recoil (SR-15 Upper). Simple defect I assume.
    When I had it, I compared it to my buddy's Vortex Razor 1-6SFP Gen II-e and the Vortex was more comfortable to get behind and more usable for me. As C_DOES and BF have mentioned the slight difference between the scope focus at 1 vs 8 power bothered me enough to look for other options. This was my first LPVO to provide some context, but I figured I would put this comment up here.
    Overall its a cool scope (weight & price) but I wasn't in love with it. PA customer service was awesome and I look forward to getting more products from them.

    No argument here. Likewise C_Does agrees with you. Yes the Primary Arms 1-8x24 PLx-c is an outstanding scope for anyone that is interested in spending over 1,500 dollars. I’m waiting to see what Primary Arms does with an improved GLx-c version. Long story short - love the scope, but hate the price.

    100 % right . Plx c with the M8 raptor is the best. I was saying a year ago.
    The complex M8 reticle is the only reason why I would use an lpvo. If I wanted something simple, I would just stay with the Red Dot with the 6X magnifier. In that case I can remove the magnifier at night for a lighter gun. If I'm going to carry a pound and a half on top of the gun, it better have a complex reticle that gives me lots of information.

If it had the FCDMX reticle and the illumination of a Nightforce, it would be 10/10. That said, the reticle is still totally usable and I was able to get very consistent hits at 380m with my 14.5”.

    I think one of the reasons that LPVOs are so ideal on a 5.56 AR is that the ideal range for a 1-8 LPVOs is 25-600 yards. (Really more 50 yards on the low but who cares) this also lines up really well 5.56 ballistically where 25-500 is going to be relatively flat shooting and still have enough energy on target. You can push it to 700 with the rounds and a 1-8 but it's going to struggle.

    When i was looking for an lpvo my main purpose was to replace a red dot and magnifier combo. I ended up with the Trijicon accupoint 1-4 with the simple triangle post reticle and it has served me very well. The eyebox is generous, the 1x is great, its super light at just over 14oz, and the tritium fiberoptic combo is bright as shit when you need it and is dialable when you don't (no electricle tape required).

    See this scope was made for people like me, im weird because i like reticles that most people would call "busy" and im not a fan of very barebones reticles. Your main gripe is my biggest selling point. It gives me a "donut of death" on a good 1x and then if i dial in for a more precise shot i have the reticle to assist in that extra precision.
    It also helps that i live in a *VERY* green world instead of a reddish-brown one so i dont need as much contrast to highlight my reticle.
    This might be the "perfect" LPVO for people who do live in a "green" world.

    Good stuff. I think the weak illumination deserves a mention in context of 1x performance. Like you point out in the beginning, folks want LPVOs to function as an 'almost red dot' on 1x. The reticle features that help draw your eye to the center are useful, but a super bright dot is useful-er. I had a NX8 for a while and couldn't get over some of its flaws, but really appreciated the brightness of the reticle. I'm not a huge Vortex fan, but the Razors shine in the brightness feature, which is a huge plus at 1x. In this price bracket, I think I'd still opt for a Gen 2-e over the PLXC for the 1x performance + brightness. The weight savings and extra 2x are big pluses for the PA, but I can get over an LPVO being SFP as I'm typically gonna crank up to max mag on an LPVO if I'm shooting far enough to need hold data.

    By far my favorite LPVO. I think the glass quality is excellent throughout. LPVO's always come with compromises.
    The main issue that is draws complaints about this LPVO is the lack of daylight brightness. True - the illumination is pretty bad. I dont find it necessary to be daylight bright in most applications.
    With that said I have an offset red dot on both of my rifles with the PA PLX-C. So I have redundant 1x.

    The ranging on the reticle is funky. I wish they did a dot than a chevron, just my preference. And you lose the image pretty easy on 8x based on your eye position.
    It’s growing on me. The image quality is great and the 1x is the best I’ve ever seen through an LVPO. But I feel I could have gone with a lower budget PA and I would have been just as happy.
    Good review as always.

    Quick question since you're the PDW man with the PDW plan, I've been setting up my PTR 9KT (PTR's MP5K clone) to do my best at filling the PDW role you've brought up before since I already had it, I've got an Eotech EXPS 3-4 and Surefire M300V on it atm and want to add a small IR laser so that the gun is also technically fully night capable (though I'm not expecting any laser I can fit on here to be particularly powerful at distance, it's going on a PDW anyways) and was wondering if you had any ideas/recommendations? Current plan in my head is mounting the M300V in the 9 o'clock position, a TNVC TOR-MINI IR to the 6 o'clock, and pressure switch for the Surefire to the 3 o'clock (context: I am also a lefty and prefer to grip the MP5K by the magwell, acts as makeshift VFG and I don't deal with the gun's heat after sustained firing as much)
    Also yes I know the 9KT is pushing it on the viability in the role and I do want to get a Flux Raider in the future, it does look sick after all, but this is what I've got *now* so figured I'd roll with it as best I can and make it work.

Idk if I got a razor lemon, or my eyes just dont like it. Indoors the razor sucks and a lot of fish eye inside of 15 to 20 ft. The plxc is the best 1x I've seen yet no fish eye even at like 10ft. Even indoors, it looks pretty good. The eye box on 8x js not nearly as tight as I expected. Its about the same as the nova 1-6 on 6x. Im returning the razor and keeing thr nova 1-6 and plxc 1-8.
