I'm curious to see how this sells for PA. On one hand, very good price point for a 1-8, on the other hand, are people going to pay $1300 for a PA optic?

Good question

I was thinking the same thing. Will be interesting to see how it does in the same price range as the Vortex Razor HD 1-6.

[SINNER]

The real question is can PA produce a good quality 1-8 for that kind of cash. My bet is no.

That all depends on who is producing these for Primary Arms, and if its the same place that produces their other optics.

There are a lot of big companies that outsource production so just because it has the PA branding doesn't automatically make low quality.

I'm sure it's a fine optic, but a little extra magnification on the top end isn't going to make me pick this up over a Vortex when the Vortex has a lifetime warranty and this is five years.

I would be very interested but no way at that price. But I will keep an open mind. It may be a great scope. Who knows. I thought the same thing about the high end Bushnells when they first came out and I love my 1-8.5 now. Time will tell

[UWone77]

When the 1-6x24 PA is $270? It's hard to make the jump another 1k+ for 1-8. So far in the time I've had my 1-6, I am impressed with it, but for 99% of us, 1-6 does just about everything I need it to for a lot less money.

I am thinking the same thing. PA made their name on quality "cheap" optics. Will be interesting to see if they can move up market.

[Liberal_Strong]

interesting response from everyone. the way i see it is that yes its pricey but a lot of manufactures who make cheap optics also have higher end, nicer scopes. lets say weaver for instance, we know em as cheap chinese made scopes but they have some legit higher end long range scopes that people say are totally worth it. What I believe is that PA is moving on up in the industry. ACCS reticle seems pretty hot and now theyre paired with Trijicon ACOG's. This new PA 1-8 is being made in Japan so im going to give the benefit of the doubt that its going to be as good as [some] Nikon scopes. And lest we forget, Vortex scopes are made in china?

Didn't think about it till you brought up the Bushnell, but these two scopes may be made by the same people since both are made in Japan.

I have been watching them talk about this perticluar scope for a while, thought the price was honestly gonna come in lower, as their stuff is usually less expensive/good bang for your buck value..

Its a lot of cheese for a PA branded scope..

Weaver optics are primarily made in Japan now. Also, high-end Vortex scopes are also made in Japan as well. I'm 99% sure that I know which manufacturer these are coming from and they are an extremely competent optics maker with a long history in the US market.

Oooo. That's nice to know. I hate how most of these guys don't list the place of origin on where its made. So the only times I've seen where they're from is if I saw it in person..so I'll stand corrected on anything I stated wrong.
