Bought a Diamonback AR10 308 yesterday.

Checked out a Primary Arms 4-14x44 FFP lit reticle scope and was impressed enough in the store to buy it, and take a chance. I mean $259 bucks for a FFP scope?

Why not!?

I got the scope mounted on a one piece AR mount and was thrilled with the clarity and function on this scope.

Sighted in with 6 shots at 100 yards. Scope tracked perfectly!

This is shots 7 & 8 at 100 yards.

May have done a bit better on cooler barrel. It was warm, but not hot... wink

BTW, that Diamondback DB10 .308 is a hammer! Accurate and functions flawlessly. (Around $850)

I'm a happy camper grin

Just thought I'd pass on info on outstanding products. So many things don't do what you think they will, but this rifle and scope have exceeded my expectations a hundred fold.

Bring on the hogs!

I’ve got that same scope mounted on my AR 308. It’s a very solid scope.

Probably overseas somewhere.

Primary Arms is located in Houston, Tx, but I doubt they manufacture them there in Houston.

Lots if not most scopes are made overseas. I have a USA made NightForce 3.5-15x50 F1, but even Nightforce scopes are mostly made in Japan.

Oh, sure! Wax eloquent about the scope and when I follow the link it's "out of stock". How many people did you tell about this before you told us? Did you buy all of them? grin

I'm sure they'll have more soon. wink

In the meantime, you have a .223, right? (I think I'm gonna get one for my AR carbine too.)

I have 2 of these scopes....The Glass will shock you!!!!! Very clear and Bright....The Tracking is spot on .....I gave them both the Freezer test..... Put them in the Freezer for 2 Hours and then stick them in the sink full of Hot water....Both Passed

Both of mine are Blems for 189 bucks....I can not find the blemish...

I know I'm fixin' to buy another one of these...

I got the one with the lit reticle. It's pretty good too. Not quite as adjustable as my $2500 NightForce, but certainly usable for what I do.

Finally got around to taking a photo of the rifle after I did the paint job, scope mounted and sighted in.

When we aren't so busy, give me a shout and we'll hook up for that!

Tried out that new rifle yesterday evening. Just a meat deer, but sure performed well. (This is the first .308 I've ever owned...)

Damn.

Just bought the 5.56 version of this scope...

http://www.primaryarms.com/primary-...ato-reticle-pa4-14xffp-acss-hud-dmr-5-56

Now I'll have one on my AR10 and one just like it on my AR15 carbine. wink

I gotta stop now. For awhile... laugh
