The PLx Compact manual should have the zero data for your 77gr loads.

I bought one of the cheap used 1-6 primary arms scopes as a sort of placeholder on my 308 just to try it out and don't see any reason to get rid of it. The reticule matches fairly well with 150gr ammo and optically it's like your basic leupold hunting scope. It's been on a couple 308s and a 223 w/o issue.
The PLX is japan btw, I think light optical works, GLX 30mm are Phillipines, cheapest stuff is Chinesium

I have several of the PA scopes. 2 of the PLX series 3 of the GLX series and 8 of the SLX series with 7 of those being prisms in various magnifications. The PLx 1-8 I have is one of the earlier models with the 34mm tube and it's actually about an oz or so heavier than the Trijicon Credo but it's a great scope. The new PLX 1-8 compact is about 10 oz lighter. I don't work there anymore but if you have any questions about the PA optics, I used to answer questions about them all day. Last I heard, there is going to be at least one optic within the next year that is US manufactured.
The info posted by MrGunsngear and 308TrumpFTW regarding info in manuals for different bullet weights and countries of manufacture is 100% accurate.

The best answer I can give is, nothing actually. If you're in that window during dawn/dusk where some illumination would be useful because it just isn't quite light enough to pick up the black etched reticle on your target or game, you'll probably need to go to max. illumination and also go to max. magnification. Not the ideal solution in many cases. It would help if the horseshoe illuminated as well but it doesn't. The GLX 2.5-10 reticles are only partially illuminated meaning only the chevron portion of the reticle gets illuminated. In fairness, I'd categorize it more as a limiting factor than a design flaw. I rarely use the illumination feature on any of my scopes though I can see the usefulness of it especially at min. magnification on a FFP LPVO. The only AR I have with a GLX optic that comes anywhere close to a 'bump in the night gun' is my 300 BLK and it is the GLX 2x prism. That one has a fully illuminated reticle.
