    Then why not just buy an ACOG?

    Edit: but yeah, still only 4x. I'm not overly concerned about price though. But I really like prism sights, even though they just don't make a ton of sense when you compare a prism plus offset red dot vs LPVO plus offset red dot.

    It came out before the LED ACOG, and it has a light sensor to automatically adjust illumination level vs. the dial on a battery ACOG. But yeah, very similar optic.

    That's been out 4-5 years I think. It's the same optical and mechanical system, but a different housing and no illumination, other than shining a flashlight to charge some phosphorescent reticle. I don't exactly think it has caught on, nor that it ever will at $1099.

    If you want a Browe, there's periodically a "special offer" with a substantial discount on one or more models, usually around Christmas shopping season or SHOT.

    Ah, thanks for the suggestion.

    I'm not overly hot on those. I'm also not opposed to buying used.

    I think I'm going to look into those 5x Burris and Steiner units.

    5x Steiner on clearance sale for around $595:

    IMHO this is more of a novelty optic than a really great choice, but FYI. At least it's not Chinesium.

    I'm kind of stoked to see the PA GLX-2X with the ACSS reticle. I preordered one just to give it a run on a backup rifle.

    I saw a TFL "review/preview" of this 3x prism a few days ago. But I can't find where it's made, so I'm going to assume China. Other than that (Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?), the FOV looks great.

    It would be neat if Elcan were to release their OS6x. Current market trending towards higher magnification, I think it'd not be unsuccessful.

    Stats wise, it looks better than the TA648 ACOG in almost every way, most importantly being close to a pound lighter.
