Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main upgrade in the Primary Arms PLXc 1-8 NOVA LPVO?

The primary upgrade is the 'Nova Fiber Wire' illumination system. This technology uses a fiber optic to deliver LED illumination directly to the reticle, achieving red dot brightness for effective use in daylight conditions.

Why is the PLXc 1-8 NOVA a second focal plane (SFP) optic?

The scope is now SFP to accommodate the advanced Nova Fiber Wire illumination technology. A first focal plane (FFP) design would cause the reticle to become too thick at 8x magnification or disappear entirely at 1x with this specific illumination system.

What is the expected price and release date for the Primary Arms PLXc 1-8 NOVA?

The Primary Arms PLXc 1-8 NOVA is expected to retail around $1,500, the same as its predecessor. It is scheduled for release in the second quarter (Q2) of 2024.

Does the PLXc 1-8 NOVA offer different color options?

Yes, when released, the Primary Arms PLXc 1-8 NOVA will be available in both a standard black finish and a 'peanut butter pickle' variant, offering users aesthetic choices.
