Something I hadn’t yet considered, what is the ideal mount and eye relief for a 3x prism optic?
Says 2.7 inches which is very short!
Gonna need the straight spacer and cantilever high mount for say a Tavor x95 huh
No the Tavor has rail right up to your nose if you are holding it in a modern non-bladed stance, it won’t need that to work

I've been watching these, specially because they have shorter eye relief. Currently running an LPVO with longer eye relief, so its mounted further forward than I'd like. Short eye relief helps to maintain the rearward weight balance on the platform (though it's less of an issue with a lighter optic).
Don't sweat the eye relief on the PA products there have the best in the biz, if you watch the video the optic has an eye relief of 6".
These optics are easily used outside of their max distance(eye relief) for a full view through the eyepiece
I'm pretty sure they list this optic as being less then a quarter inch more then the similar vortex model, at around 2.7 inches or something like that.
It can still be used with a reduced field of view out to longer distances but I can't see them doubling the eye relief over vortex (6") and then not listing that in their specs.
Like I said watch the video, for you guys that are lazy. Here's the time stamp 7:20 "up to 6" ER" I've gotten rid of all my Vortex and replaced with PA.
Usable Eye Relief Range: 2” to 6” with 3.6” for optimum Field of View
Thanks, I watched it a week ago.... do you really think PA got their own specs that wrong? I just assumed that he was describing the "usable" eye relief as I noted, not the "full view" eye relief as listed at 3.6" for the 1X and 2.7 for the 3X..... but I guess we will see soon enough....Excuse the pun.
Edit, I just looked at their latest info on their new line and interestingly enough they list the eye relief as,
Optimum Field of View is a better way of describing what I was trying to say "max distance(eye relief) for a full view through the eyepiece"
Any updates? Looks like our southern neighbors have been playing with them for a few weeks now.

This doesn't quite relate to us receiving some up here, though it does show how popular these are. Any word from Gravel?
Good call, I will check in with a dealer once we get a bit closer then. I've got high hopes for this optic!
