I had an early PA 300blk 1-6. Had an issue with the reticle turning in the scope body. PA refunded my money as this was early on and they did not have a replacement. I believe they fixed the issue the early model had. It is good for the price point. Looks like the new reticle only illuminates the chevron and not the entire bdc which I think I would prefer. I also have the PA 223 1-6 and don't care for the entire reticle being lit up. Too busy.
Pretty similar to the strike eagle but the BDC would be closer on the PA since its geared towards the 300BLK. I don't think I'd bother getting a 1-8 for a 300blk. I actually ended up putting my 1-4pst on it and prefer that over the strike eagle or the PA.
