Would you buy this scope?

[Firestone]

Does getting to 15x or 16x magnification come at that much more of a weight penalty? I would like to see a 3x15 or 4x16 with a simple reticle, I would buy one for sure. Probably two of them

I would also be in at around the $1000 price point so I could buy 2 or 3 to start. Call me crazy but I still prefer MOA but if it checked all those other boxes maybe it would motivate me to finally switch! I think that magnification range is absolutely perfect and as long as the reticle is truly usable for close in shots I would be all over it. Adjustable parallax would also be nice.

Apparently even that company can’t grasp it.

This is what baffles me. The wheel has already been invented. All that needs to happen is for said company to get their chit together on the inventory front! Grow some satchel and put some product on the shelves. If you don’t have the money, find it. The demand is obviously there.

 

[willfrye027]

Yep! Sounds perfect for my lighter weight gun

 

[PaulDogs]

Under $1.5k, id get one.
Under $1k, id get two.

 

[ARK_Ginger]

Eventually yes

 

[Sadler]

I’d be in for one right away. Then two more if I want to replace my NX8s. Only thing I’d like to add is having a removable power throw lever like nightforce offers.

 

[TuckTruck]

Yes

 

[Lawnboi]

NO moa!!! Don’t be wasting production on none of that

 

[ManBun]

I would definitely be in for 1!!! Ive held off buying the Nightforce nxs 2.5x10 the last couple years hoping they would have made a 3x12 model!

OR just keep up on production for both. I am probably in the minority here but prefer MOA because that’s all I’ve ever used and see no issues but would not be opposed to switching if a scope like this was made in MIL only. It sounds like the perfect scope that we’ve all been wanting for way too long. This is very exciting stuff!

Same here but it’s the giant windage knob for me that is hard to get past.

Mil only feels weird because you’ve been doing it wrong all your life.

All:

It’s a serious question from Ryan. This is not just a feeler post. No presale or other nonsense.


If a 3-12x40’ish mil/mil scope was offered that was consistently reliable and durable, was tested heavily, had multiple reticles that were truly usable/visible from 3-12x, a good/great eyebox and DOF, low profile zero stop elevation and capped windage; and was under $1,500- would you buy it?

Yes

 

[HOT ROD]

Would be interested in several at $1000 or under....

Your probably not wrong on that!

 

[Macintosh]

Im not scope shopping right now, but if I were a 3-12 as described would be a strong contender—currently happily using a 3-12 klassik so a “same-ish” scope with more elevation travel would for sure be a contender. A 2.5-10 probably would be #1, followed by 3-12. Starting at above 3x would be a deal-breaker though, unless it had a magically wide fov. The reticle is always a personal thing for me so ultimately that’d be the make-or-break element.

Edit to clarify for the benfit of any scope company looking: reliability as-in ability to hold zero through abusive handling, 4x MAX zoom with fantastic eyebox and very good depth of field, bold simple reticle, low profile and simple turret with ZS and locks, capped windage, 2-3x on the low end and no more than 10-12x on upper end is exactly what I want. The described scope is exactly what I would buy, the only reason I'm not scope shopping at the moment is that I have a similar 3-12x scope and dont need another at the moment.

 

[Fever Buck]

I’d personally prefer a 4-16x. I really like the NF NXS 2.5-10 but not sure the mag range of 3-12x would justify me dumping the NXS for it. I know it would be FFP and some other differing features but don’t have much issue with the SFP in the lower mag range scopes.

 

[Bubblehide]

Ship me 1 (2 would be better) I'm ready to test it and review it now.

 

[Drenalin]

WTH?

Avery: scope is designed for hunting to 600 yards

Rokslide: we need 16x magnification!
