Source: primaryarmsoptics.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by ar15discounts.com. The official Primary Arms Optics product page (source.url) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetching, so numeric specs and price were extracted verbatim from the AR15Discounts retailer listing (corroboration), which identifies the exact model by name, MPN (PA-GLX-4-16X50F-APOLLO/-MILDOT/-HUD-308) and UPC and lists 4-16x magnification, 50mm objective, 30mm main tube, First Focal Plane, Illuminated: Yes, 3.5"-3.6" eye relief, 13.8" length, 23.5 Oz weight, and a "0.1 MIL click" value, priced "Starting from $699.99". Dirty Bird Industries lists the identical spec sheet and price, and The Armory Life's dated review (Dec 18, 2022) of the "Primary Arms GLx 4-16x50FFP" confirms model identity, the 30mm FFP build, the illuminated reticle (10 brightness settings), and a parallax knob stacked on the left side turret (i.e. side-focus). Field of view and total elevation travel were not stated on any fetched page, so both are null; releaseDate left null as no fetched page stated it.
