Make a true 1-8, day bright, true 1x, and an 8x that works well, and doesn't weigh more the rifle, that has potential to be winner winner.

Late November. If you want to go ahead and grab one from a dealer I will do the BC deal at what you would have paid us including shipping.

I ordered my PA 1-6x 9/17/13 and it saw 2500 rounds between my 20" PSA and my 16" BCM carbine. I picked up two Leupolds for them and the PA then went on the Mini-14 for around 300 rounds. The Mini was being shot by my niece and she started missing the target but it was the last few rounds of the day so I thought nothing of it. At the time I was testing out two lubes so my usual property companion AR wasn't available. The next day I took a shot with the Mini at a groundhog about 60 yards and missed by feet not inches. Shouldering it felt weird. Then I noticed I was twisting the Mini to get the reticle straight. The reticle had canted.
PA gave me store credit around 8/27/14 when it was sent back. I don't blame PA, Minis eat scopes for lunch apparently. They beat variable scopes to death. I've been told to go with fixed power scopes for the Mini. PA was great to deal with and I got another optic from them. The 4-14 FFP mil-dot went on my Savage .243 deer rifle and it's been great. It's surprisingly clear and a box test showed that adjustments were equal and repeatable. Right now it's the only optic I have that isn't made by Leupold on any of my rifles (Savage in .308 and .22LR, ARs, and 10/22). We'll see how it goes I guess.

Appeasement is never the answer in the face of naked aggression.

Was that the gen1 1-6x that you broke? Or the gen 2?

It was the Gen1, it only illuminated the dot and circle not the whole reticle.

Your comment about Mini 14's eating scopes has me curious. Have you been able to learn why this is the case with a low recoiling .223/5.56?

I read it a couple places. Then I watched some slow mo videos. It isn't the recoil back into your shoulder, it's the bolt closing. It has a huge piece of metal that slams forward. I guess most scopes aren't designed for that type of recoil. Airgun scopes are made for that type of recoil and are said to work better for the Mini also.
Here is a video of a Mini in slow mo, right at 17 seconds you see the bolt slam home so hard that the mini actually slides forward in the guys hands. Also watch the knuckle of his thumb on his shooting hand as it ends up further into the video frame than when he fired the shot.
