I was going to say the same thing. Glass quality is a nonissue at 6x.
I’m not sure this is true. Lots of people I think would prefer to shave 6 ounces for non-critical features. I’d guess there’s more people backpack hunting who care about ounces than who care about a zero shop. I could be wrong though. For my primarily backpacking rifles, the SWFAs will still be the ticket. But I’ll be adding one of these to a rifle where I’m less concerned about counting ounces.
Parallax adjustment is the only thing you mentioned that would potentially add weight and not 4-8oz…
Do you have a source for this?

At least as of now, they are unable to "merge" any account info (prior purchase history) So they still have record of all pre orders, you’ll need to re submit notifications for in stock though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don’t know about that. You maybe not and maybe not the majority of people who are on this thread… but not sure if that qualifies as most. There’s multiple fine options in this size, weight, mag range. Like the trijicon. There’s not really any good options in the 4-24/5-25 range. Who needs 2.5 on the low end? I live on the west coast jungle of Oregon. And I wouldn’t use that here. Why not have more on the top end? When ya need want it, it’s there and when ya don’t crank it down. It’s not like going 2.5-15 got you down to sub 20oz and small size. It’s still 26.4 oz, 44mm obj and 30mm tube as far as I know? So what advantages do you have? The 5-25 mark5 would be the best if it tracked and was a little smaller foot print. So we are stuck with the 4-32 nx8 which was a little bit of a fail. Still the best option. In a reasonable price range. Anyone that I personally shoot and hunt around. I do a good amount of both would much prefer a 4-24/5-25 over this. Not saying this isn’t a good option if it fits your style but I just am not sure the statement of “most wanting this” to be true.
Hmm ... we may not be disagreeing.
I just can’t imagine ever turning a scope to 24 in a hunting situation. Are you hunting ground squirrels at a grand?
Are you hunting at 2000 yards? Or are you using your aiming device as a spotter?
Well I hunt eastern Oregon the majority of the time as well as Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and others when the opportunity is there. I would consider myself a “long range” shooter and hunter. I guess. Majority of our shot are 600-1k but every year something gets shot from 100-300. I also shoot a ton in my free time. We have a farm with a private range. I guess I just want a scope that kinda does it all. I like magnification though. We shoot a lot and are used to dealing with the “limitations” if you want to call it that when on hire power or quickly zooming out. Etc.
