I ordered one of these for a 6.5 Grendel build. It seems to receive favorable reviews. Does anyone own/use one? Thanks!

I have read only good reviews for them.

Cheap Chinese optics. You get what you pay for!

 

[army_eod]

Yeah. All Chinese stuff is junk. Just like my iPhone.

Let's see! A FFP scope with a 3 year warranty.
Yeah, I'd say it's JUNK!

I've got what I assume is it's predecessor. 4-14x, FFP, MIL turrets, A/O, MILdot reticle. Mine just not illuminated.

It's been riding on my 308win R700 for about 6 years now with no issues. It's not super amazing glass, and it's a little hefty. It works good enough I haven't bothered to replace it due to lack of, or issues with its performance. It was originally just intended to be a place holder until I could afford something nicer.

The adjustments track and returns to zero repeatedly. I'm not sure what else I can ask of a scope in its price range. If it's got the features you want, I'd say go for it.

I have the same scope with a similar story.

Mine ended up temporarily on a AR10 and is still on it. I only shoot to 300 but it has been reliable and accurate.

Most things that are cheap crap are made in China but not everything made in China is cheap crap. Primary Arms optics are not cheap or crap.

I have several scopes and red dots from Primary Arms and none of them have let me down over the many years that I have owned and used them. They are on par with the Nikon P series scopes that I own.

I don't compete or use any of my rifles for extreme long range/precision shooting.

I have a 4-14 MILDOT from Primary Arms and an older Bushnell Elite 6-24 MILDOT scope. Night and day difference between the two as far as quality and clarity of the glass, but there is also a night and day difference in price too.
