Remember how Mountain Dew almost named their green apple flavor “Hitler Did Nothing Wrong” because they asked for help naming it from guys on the internet?

This thread reminds me of that.

My favourite crowdsourcing example was when Rage Against the Machine's 'Killing in the Name Of' was voted the number 1 Christmas song in the UK.

Apparently, to be allowed to play the song on live radio, they promised to not sing the refrain 'F you I won't do what you tell me'. They promised ... and then this happened:

Two of my favorites were voting for Taylor Swift to perform at a school for the deaf (she backed out) and sending Pitbull to the Walmart in Kodiak AK (he followed through and apparently was good hearted about the whole thing).

Also, there you go adding extra letters to words again in favorite

Delta is already a scope brand. Sorry.

 

[MEdude]

OMICRON DELTA 318 is a horrible idea.
Why would anyone suggest such a thing?
Bring on the ban hammer!

There could be some confusion whether it means zero (as in no) change, or zero change as in wandering zero. I guess that’s kinda handy until they’ve been out in the wild a while

The scope hasn't been tested. So they won't "be" at the shot show. The samples/test scopes will "be" picked up at shot show is what i took from that segment. I do however think it is Vortex from the "who cares whose name is on it" comment

That was what I heard as well, but didn't they also say pre-sales would start at Western Hunt expo? If that is the case, that seems like a very short testing window to truly determine if it will be as reliable as we all hope.

Maybe I missed something but I thought they said they were going to be testing samples at the S2H classes this summer and then opening presales in the fall if everything goes well.

Pre-sales for the Korax rifles, and orders for Rokstok lites. No scope sales or pre-sales.

Like other's have said, i think rokstok lites is what you are thinking about

My personal favorites would be:

- Corvus (Raven) Corvus scope on a Corax rifle = Corvus Corax = scientific name for Raven (common raven / Northern raven)

- Cretan (Greek for bull) because the scope would be "strong like bull" (said with the accent)

- Lithos or Petra(rock/stone) could bridge the gap in a creative way to mean Rokscope


Other cool scientific names based on bats or birds (for some reason y'all like to name things after bats and birds)


Desmodus: vampire bat

Haast: large extinct eagle

Vulcanops: extinct burrowing bat

The Raven Guard?

You're correct, just re-listened. It will be at Hunt Expo to put hands on. Pre-sale date was not called out.
When they order is put in, it'll be 6 months out from there.

3-18x44, sub 25oz, FFP, exclusive reticle (then Ryan says "two reticles"), illuminated, for $999 retail.

Paint the picture: smooth lines, Big flat, low profile turrets, 44mm object with 30mm tube.

 

[IrkedCitizen]

They likely had to agree to an MOA reticle

Not hardly.

 

[IrkedCitizen]

Not hardly.

One of the two reticles isn't MOA?

First prototype from Japan.

No.

There is the simplified THLR and a more normal mil reticle.

[Billogna]

How many mils per rev?

Love the size/shape of the turret
