Yes, I’ve heard from good sources that this is true. I’ve also heard from the same sources that PA specs better materials and tolerances where vortex has a different approach where they focus on keeping their price low enough that they can just throw new ones at anyone that has a issue. This is the lower end vortex stuff I’m taking about.
IMO a Swaro Z8i with a ACSS reticle would be the tits. Only thing i might change is make the chevron smaller and just have a dot on the tip for illumination.
I'd buy that.
I hadn't used my Primary Arms with the ACSS for a while and figured it would be a good fit for a service rifle competition I was doing last year (easy holdovers etc) but I found that while its not horrible the other optics I have with better glass / lesser reticles were still better overall so I ended up switching back.
Glass clarity is important.
