How does the glass on the new gen3 1-6 compare to say the Steiner P4XI? That's another option OP.
The glass in the P4Xi Steiner (Schott glass) is much better than the Gen lll PA's 1-8 that I have, as is the eyebox.
What's the Price point between them?
The Steiner should be a couple hundred bucks higher than the PA's.
If you spent DD money on a rifle, you should have at least Trijicon or Vortex money for the optic.
Or you should have bought a Colt instead.
Steiner P4XI regularly go for upper 400s from DSG Arms and Botach. I got mine e from DSG for 390 plus shipping but I don't know how often they go that low.
