"This is the optic. This factory never made optics before. They make precision laser levels for the building trade and are used to making rugged, reliable precision devise. The use the latest low power consumption emitter and have less parallax error than anything we have tested at any price. The version with the green laser uses a high quality laser diode that will operate in freeing temperatures.  I will do a more detailed post in the new products section later today"

Wow, me likey!  So based on the page you could step into an Aimpoint quality level red dot w/ 6x flip to side magnification w/ kill flash for $348.  I have several of the PA micro dots but this has me thinking about upgrading.

Pretty impressive specs. Not the nicest looking optic but I suppose form follows function.

Very nice. Must check more into this one. I have a rail just waiting to be filled.

That is pretty kick ass, especially for the price. I have always liked PA stuff and his CS is among the best anywhere.

I like...a lot. Everything I've ever gotten from PA has held up well (aside from their house brand riser, but they took care of me) I can only imagine this thing will be awesome

Ive got one of their mini red dots on my suppressed SBR .22 AR and I couldn't be happier.

Seems like it's really long for a red dot.  The price is nice though.

What is MORE exciting to me is that he said they same company that is making this new optic is in the works for a redesigned micro sight with the same emitter ...  He said it would be way later in the year.... but if PA offered a micro with aimpoint battery life and a lifetime warranty that would be incredible

[DangerDanJD]

This. I really like the look of their micro red dot and I would be all over one with this kind of battery life if it comes in at a similar price point.

Still needing an optic for my AR so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one. Heard a lot of good things from PA Sent from my iPhone
