Would you buy this scope?

Because this is Rokslide and we aren't normal, it will be a 7x52 fixed power.

... in an 11 inch 35mm tube!

I’m far from normal. I was talking about fixed X being a great option back when the Leupold 2.5-8x was the gold standard here, and people thought you had to be poor or super old to prefer a fixed power. We sure have changed gears on our leupold opinions here.

I actually am really hoping that a fixed 6 or 7, maybe even 8, is the phase two of this project. Maybe just a tad smaller OBJ. Like a 6 or 7 x42 or a 8x46-50ish.

I agree.
8x42 binoculars are so dang useful. They just work in so many different situations.
I can only imagine how well that magnification would lend itself to a rifle scope
