I do really like the PX4i. The clean reticle is one of my favorite features on it. Unforunately my battery died somewhere between my house, and the range, so I was only able to use the crosshairs this trip. They seem to have shot up in price the last few months though.
It's not the length you're looking for, but I'll tell you that I'm finally going to move away from quad rails. Well...at least I'm going to TRY. I went out yesterday with my 10.3 that's wrapped in a 9" LaRue MLok rail and ran it all day and usually when I do that I'll have issues with my shoulder. (Thanks Uncle Sam for those 4 surgeries.) But yesterday and this morning, no issues whatsoever. What I like about them is that they are plenty sturdy if you want to run a PEQ and WML, but have a really nice size circumference and best of all they use the LaRue mounting system, which I personally think is the best. In terms of perfect alignment with your upper and the ease of installing it, I love em.
Oh and the 3rd thing I like which is really the first thing is that the cost is $10/inch. So that 9" rail for my 10.3 SBR cost me $90. Yeah. I didn't forget a leading 1. My 13.2 was only $132 bucks. I just laughed when I wrote that because it still makes me happier than a possum eatin' molasses. Just some food for thought. My 12.5 DD is sporting an 11" LaRue quad rail and I swear I could beat a bear to death with it, but running those lighter rails this weekend really did convince me that going lighter is not compromising when I do get to nods and the need for a PEQ/dbal. So for my 16" AR-15's or shorter, it will be my rail of choice.
Oh, the optic on my 14.5 is at the factory, I had an issue with the elevation turret and they are fixing it.
Here are some pics. They are covered by Type 02 rail covers and some Ergo covers, but you get the idea.
ETA: Normally I have a rear BUIS, but I had been running an RMR in an Iron dot mount that has a built in rear buis, which I swapped out for my MoY Red dot that morning and didn't bother to put a rear sight. I'll probably get to it though.
