20oz is lighter than I expected for a 34mm

Lite typically means reduced reliability.

I like how they had 1 model accidentally pass the drop test, now every scope they come out with is “Robust & designed for durability”

Between that and Spomer Maven is starting to get a little to cringe for me.

I don't think they state that anywhere on the product page for the ra.6

Looks to have a lot of great features, not sure on the reticle yet…. I really like the FC-MIL nx8.

Really can’t understand the 34mm obsession and reticle. Seems pretty tactical. Turret and “robust” sound great.

Trijicon has similar optic this year that’s new.

Have you ever shot a 34mm optic?

Ya, I can't imagine you need the extra elevation in the turret for a scope with 10 power at the top end. Or only a 28mm objective. You're not going to be using this past 1000.

Being it's 10x(As in 10 times the bottom number) on the magnification, I bet the image quality isn't all that great at the higher end. No scope with 10x is.

The 1.2 accidentally passed? Wasn't is designed to pass?

The high zoom ratio trend is one that I would really like to see end… They always seem to end up having worse glass and more critical eye boxes compared to a lower zoom ratio scope. Also is hard to implement a good FFP reticle across the whole zoom range.

No they said in a podcast they did not do anything intentional as far as design was involved with durability.
And the update was just for features.

And all the other scopes should be the same.

I think it was this Rokcast
But indeed more time to look.

Agreed.

Negative. Had a 35mm mark 5 HD. Have never needed the elevation travel on a hunting rifle. They are normally heavier/beefier obviously, and I prefer to stay out of the 30oz plus ATACRs etc. This one is lighter which is cool, maybe the extra tube helps with the optical design/space as well?

It’s possible the over all setup just happens to fit me better.
But I feel like the atacr is much friendlier to get behind easily, and do not hesitate to carry it.

I should clarify by obsession, I meant manufacturers, not your personal choice on optic.

4-16 atacr seems to pop up a lot as bulletproof optic on here. My buddy had one one his WSM for a while.

A 800$ 1-6 I could use as a hammer would be more cooler imo
