These have been out for a few weeks now, my thoughts:
Pros:
-ACSS reticle is one of the, if not the best, BDC on the market (according to this guy)
-lifetime warranty
-Chevron aiming point allows for increased precision when zeroing
-reduced weight over previous versions and competitive options
-takes all common 30mm mounts
-Under $300 street price
-improved scope caps vs. earlier generations
Cons:
-whether it's "daylight bright" is up for debate

Great review. I just wish they had a longer warranty. However I have eight of their products.

The gen 3 warranty is now lifetime instead of just 3 years.

I bought a gen2 last summer and I really like it, my only compliant is it's heavy. The new gen3 isn't much lighter but there are improvements and this makes me want to buy the new version.
Thanks for the review.

Great review! Thank you for taking the time to put it together.

Great review.
One question though. If you had to choose between the Gen III 1-6 and the newer 1-8 you reviewed earlier, which one would you pick?
I'm thinking of picking up one of these myself, but I'm interested in hearing how they compare. I watched your Gen II 1-6 vs 1-8 video and came away thinking the 1-8 was the better option but I'm curious to see if that changed with the Gen III 1-6.

An excellent review! That looks like a lot of scope for the money, but the reticle looks a little busy.

I have a gen2 and other than the gen3 uses a Chevron instead of a dot, it's not bad. I find it easy to use and fairly intuitive.Originally Posted by SiGfever
I'm looking for another budget scope and I believe this will once again be it.
I'm going to be getting the Trijicon ACOG with the ACSS reticle for my main carbine. After using the Primary Arms 1-6X scope with the ACSS reticle, I really like it.

Is Trijicon in a partnership with Primary Arms? I was under the impression PA had the patent on the ACSS. Do you know?

That is my exact hesitation on the scope as well. It just looks too busy for what I like. That's said I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one and running it a few weeks. But as a matter of preference I like my reticles cleaner.
