Primary Arms has just announced the pre-order of their new Gold Series scope line. The Gold Series scopes are designed in Texas and made in the Philippines. They are placed as a mid-tier scope just under their Platinum line, but boast some very nice features. The most interesting model for most precision rifle shooters will be the 6-24x50mm. It features locking turrets with resettable zero stops as well as several first focal plane reticle options. One very interesting feature is that the magnification ring is customizable with a folding lever to assist in rapid magnification changes.

The GLx series of scopes will all retail under $1000, which places them at a very competitive price point compared to other Precision Rifle oriented FFP scopes with these features.

From Primary Arms:

The Gold Series™ rifle scopes redefine what can be accomplished when the latest optics technology is applied to meet the shooting challenges faced in real world situations.  New for this line is our patent pending ZLock™ and ZStop™ turrets, AutoLive motion sensing reticle illumination, and our hardened steel-on-steel adjustment system. The fantastically clear, low dispersion glass makes sure the optical system will impress even the harshest critics.

The GLx4 6-24x50mm rifle scope has a 4x magnification range, designed to help you locate, track and engage mid-range targets as well as reach out and engage targets at long to extremely long ranges. With the 6-24x50mm body, we’re bringing you maximum usable magnification range in a package that’s still convenient to mount on bolt action rifles. Like all scopes in the GLx line, this model is packed with features, including our patent pending ZLock and ZStop turrets, AutoLive motion sensing reticle illumination, and our hardened steel-on-steel adjustment system. The fantastically clear, low dispersion glass is just the icing on the cake!
