Primary Arms sale, through 14 Jan 2013...

[98Z5V]

Primary Arms has a good sale going on, but of note is the Millett DMS-1 scope, and mounting possibilities.  Sale ends 14 Jan, at midnight.

I have one of these scopes already, on a 16" midlength gas 5.56 gun, with a great barrel.  Awesome combo, with the gun and optic. 

Right now, the scope is on sale for $179.  Pick a mount, pick NO mount, whatever.  BUT, if a 1-4x scope can fulfill your needs, and you want a GREAT mount for it, they have the American Defense mounts, WITH this scope, for a killer deal. 

I nailed another one of these scopes, with the ADM Scout Extended scope, for $309 total. 

Hit it up, if it fits your needs:

MSRP on that scope, from Millet, is $389.  Street price is nowhere close to that.  MSRP on the mount, from ADM, is $179...  If you add that up...  <dontknow>

I got that email too. I've been looking hard at that combo. It seems a little nicer than a red dot with flip to side x3 mag.

Same scope I used on this build a couple years ago:

I hope somebody here took advantage of that sale - it was a decent amount off the scope, but $50 off the ADM mount.  I went with the ADM Scout Extended, and it worked out perfect for an AR.

I was very tempted, and hesitated too long... :'(

I'll have to hold out for the PA red-dot/x3-mag combo.

Sweet rifle Tom, seems very SPR-like in form and function....

I see PA has their own line of scopes (scopes with their name) who makes these? <dontknow>

Branded by PA, and chinese made.  PA pays for the extra QC steps at the factory, and gets some pretty quality stuff.  You might find something similar in looks and specs, from other companies - but the specs are weaker and the QC steps in them don't exist.  The PA stuff is really better than "the same thing I saw on Gun Broker" or "...at my local gun show..."

Don't worry about the stuff you find or buy from PA - it's good, and it's got a link back to someone to talk to if something should go wrong with it - Marshall is a stand-up guy and backs what he sells.  <thumbsup>

I think I have five of the micro-red dot setups from him now, going all the way back to 2010.  I haven't been able to kill one of them yet, and one is on the GSR .308 bolt gun.  The product stands up.

Matt, that's the one that's getting the Cerakote "Sniper Gray" paint...  The build of the Haley/Bravo Company "Jack" rifle...  So - I'm going to strip the light down and paint it - should I paint the ADM scope mount?  Or the scope, too?

Right now, the upper, lower, and rail will get painted.  Thinking of painting the receiver extension, too.  The light body and scope mount are up in the air.  <dontknow>

Paint it all! Contrast is bad, uniformity is good. My $.02 anyways.  <thumbsup>

PA has a FFP mil/mil scope for super cheap. Im dying to check it out..but I have nothing to stick it on.

[98Z5V]

You just got that Stag upper - that would be perfect to run it on and check it out.  <thumbsup>

[blue109]

I know..but I put the nikon on there..and im kinda liking that scope so far. Id like to keep all my Scopes the same but the m223 has a regular plex ret. And the balistic turret so theres no need for ffp/mil.

I've looked at their 4x14 FFP for my -10, but just don't know enough about it. I know what to expect from other scopes in that price range, and don't think I'd be happy with them even as a temporary measure. I wish I know more...
