Would you buy this scope?

[bbckfh]

It does help and allows me to look elsewhere. The floating dot is alright for a target scope, but ain’t worth a flip as a hunting scope for me.

Thanks for the info.

By all accounts, this is supposedly not the case for this reticle.

I haven’t personally verified.

Well, I think the answer to that is somewhat multifactorial.

I also want to caveat my statement my clarifying that it only “bugs” me to a very little degree.

Based on my prior readings, I have a perception that a higher zoom ratio is less reliable. Based to my prior experience, I think it is certainly harder to get a good eye box with a higher zoom ratio. I think that the erector systems take more space, leaving less travel.

But I’m not an optics engineer, so I can stand to be corrected.

I use my scope as a sighting device, not an observation device. Higher mag enables increased precision to a small degree. Higher mag undoubtedly diminishes FOV. I appreciate those who would shoot >1k, but I fear that even with astronomical BCs, drift is too real to guarantee painless success at much over 750 in field conditions. And if I’m honest and not succumbing to internet braggadocio, I personally limit myself to 600.

I don’t need >12x for 600 m.

Bottom line: less “is” (I assume) lighter, more reliable and leaves space for other design constraints. I’d far prefer a light scope to a higher-mag one.

A light weight 4-12 would be sweet.

Tend to agree, but I really want 3x on the low end. 2x is nice, but that puts me into a 6x erector.

I guess I also forgot: I want a light scope to maintain balance. And a non-bulky one to minimize snags on my rifle in the field.

I’m excited and optimistic that this new product can deliver on the original design concept.

If it has a floating dot like the Maven, then I won’t like it. I spent a season with the Maven and found it to be a terrible hunting reticle for me. I’m currently trying to sell the Maven RS1.2 scopes that I have because of it.

Yea thats fair, I hunted with a fixed 4 for so long Im just used to that as a baseline. Its my walking around setting regardless of low end.

But get your point.

Unfortunately for you I will go out on a limb and say that you will be disappointed as that perspective is far and away the minority. I don’t expect multiple reticle options either.

That’s fine with me. I will say that everyone that’s looked through my Mavens have had the same thoughts as myself. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve had one person tell me that they liked it.

 

[bbckfh]

I like my maven. I have the RS1.2

Sorry, now I’m just poking and piling on.

I’d venture to say that very few if any of those people have any experience with a FFP scope or dialing to long range shooting in general no?

Some do, but that has nothing to do with a crosshair that doesn’t cross. I would really like the Maven and would keep them, if the crosshairs actually crossed. That small floating dot that disappears for me in hunting situations is a hard pass for me. There’s better reticles out there for that application and I’m moving on to them.

Lol. You ain’t hurting my feelings. I like the mavens, too. Just wish they would offer a better reticle.

 

[gtriple]

It is unlikely that Japan has them made before the summer classes. Best guess for now is by fall sometime.

Thanks for the updates. Excited to pick up a couple of these.

 

[medvedyt]

will it be available for the market up north to you guys?

 

[HuntHarder]

Probably with double tariffs on it.

don't shoot max power it will be barely noticeable.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

Having now read the entire thread, I am quite excited about this project.

Same here! I need one for my 22 cm. The Burris signature hd just isn’t cutting it.

Man, sorry bout your eyes. My day is coming soon too I’m sure.
