[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 954871, member: 229"] Yes and No - Primary Arms is made by a guy over on ArfCom who sort of stole a few of the design aesthetics of the Aimpoints, but underneath, they're actually real Red-Dots as opposed to using Aimpoint's proprietary super-battery-saving design. They're no where near as well made as Aimpoint, but they're above all the Airsoft replicas, and I would honestly rate them above the NcStar, Barska, BSA quality stuff as well. Their battery life is really good (not 3-7 years good like Aimpoint, but from what I've heard, better than most EOTech models). They're basically like Millet Zoom Dots, or Burris Fastfires only priced way lower because he doesn't have to deal with any distribution or overhead since he mostly sells by word-of-mouth or internet advertising from ArfCom, etc... I know that M4Carbine.net has a thread on one of the Magpul Dynamics classes and said that they thought one of the optics used was a Primary Arms and it survived the entire class without having issues, or loosing battery life - that's seriously saying something. As for their magnifiers, I'm not 100% sure on the rugged-ness or overall quality, but he seems to have a lot of satisfied customers for everything he sells, so I'm almost willing to give one a try. I'll probably put one in a better mount (I've yet to see a good QD or flip-side mount that wasn't Sampson or LaRue), but even with the mount/magnifier, I'm safer in price than buying the real-deal and ending up hating it and having to sell for a significant loss. I've tried out the real deal, and it seems (besides just a bit heavy) do-able, but I'd need to really use one to know if I'll like it or not, and I'd rather buy than borrow for that since I don't like putting friends' stuff through "rough tests".
