Primary Arms is bringing to market a product that to my knowledge is the first of its kind, a magnifier with a reticle independent of the one belonging to the optic it is magnifying. Based on my understanding how this works, is that when there is a desire to calculate a ballistic drop, the magnifier is flipped into place and the etched reticle is aligned with the red dot. Now I think this may actually be a theoretically superior option (disregarding chinese manufacture) compared to a standard magnifier being used with a red dot with a LED produced BDC. I say this because to my knowledge a BDC dot/ hashmark will be increased in size following a formula of MOA of the dot x magnification power, so If you have a 2 MOA BDC dot and a 3x magnifier that would give your eye a view of 6 MOA BDC dot. An etched reticle in the magnifier would not have this problem. It weights 5.3oz without a mount and will retail for $169.99 on P.A's website.

Speaking of Primary Arms, some of you may remember that I made post about how the Dmitri of Primary Arms said that he was working on a "Superior form of Iron Sight" but he couldn't talk bout it "just yet". I have observed that there are no Iron Sights of any kind on P.A's new products showcase page
The Ghost Gunner 3 just got a lot of added value
Also Springfield is probably going to start importing VHS or VHS-2 rifles, now YOU can LARP as either Iraqi Federal Police or the Post fall of the Territorial Calipihte ISIS Guerilla that took the rifle off the Policeman's corpse.
