Razor vs PLx Platinum

[ram 50 v8]

Hello, wondering if anyone has both of these scopes, how is glass quality? Supposedly Primary Arms plx is made with same Japanese glass as Razors.

Specifically I am interested in Razor 1-10 vs PLx 1-8 SFP (comming out this year)

There are few reasons why I am leaning towards Primary Arms Platinum

1) cheaper, about 1300 vs 2200 for Razor 1-10

2) I prefer SFP for LPVO for two reasons, reticle stays the same and SFP is usually daylight bright=red dot at 1x.

3) Primary Arms PLX 1-8 is 16 ounces vs 21 ounces for the razor

4) I would rather stay with 30mm rings and not go with 34mm --- there really is no optical advantage for going 34mm, but with 30mm I get to keep my RS Regulate rings (lightest way to mount scope on AK platform --- its for Vepr Super 308)


If you have both, talk me out of Primary Arms PLX please. (I know its not out yet, but not in hurry, I can wait a bit)

Thanks

Those are two very different scopes through and through. If you want the sfp plx, just get it

Would recommend sticking to 6x max on top end if you really want SFP.

Whats reasoning behind that? I understood that sfp is less quirky and allows for better "window" than ffp

Because with SFP your holds only work at 8x. 8x is a lot of mag on a workhorse rifle because FOV is important. When you are 8x your SA and range fan are greatly diminished. If you back off to 5-6x you get your FOV back but your holds no longer work.
If you want 8x+ stick to FFP where your holds work regardless of magnification.

If you want the SFP eyebox, just buy a Kahles K16i and never look back.
