Thoughts about any of these LPVOs, as substitutes?
Primary Arms Classic 1-6x
Primary Arms SLx 1-6x
Or the non-illuminated Bushnell Elite 4500 1-4x
I have red dots on a couple of uppers that I'd like to upgrade to inexpensive LPVOs. I really like my Trijicon Credo HX 1-4x scopes, but they are no longer available at blowout prices.

Palmetto had this in black as well but it sold out already. No personal experience with it. Just looked like a decent deal.
Heavy. So so optic quality. Didn't twiddle turrets prior to ditching the one I bought. The built in power ring lever can be a pain in the ass for bolt clearance if you are not running a gasser.
I saw that particular Bushy 1-6 in person, at Sportsman's Warehouse. I wasn't impressed, so I'm a little hesitant to drop the hammer on the 1-4 Elite without some first-hand endorsements.
I looked at a lot of LPVOs today, online. The reticles turn me off on most of them, so I pulled the trigger and ordered a pair of the 1-4 Elites. I guess I'll see how they do!
Picked up an Ultimatum HMB action with a 223 bolt face and got some rings rails and mags from MDT.
Don't know those specifically but have a couple of their other LPVOs....a 1-10x24 and a 1-8x24. Repeatable, hold zero, a mil is a mil over the full range which is pretty good, 30ish+ mils. Glass is fine.
On the down side the 1-10 has a bunch of gravity in it at something like 24 ounces. The 1-8 is better but still heavy for what it is. Reticles are busier than I like but not awful. Illumination is advertised as "daylight bright" but isn't.
PA used to make a lot of junk but they've stepped things up in the last few years.
