Yes
I'm not an optics manufacturer, but my assumption is that the secret sauce for Trijicon/Nightforce is in the specifications. A production agency won't design your scope for you; the design agency delivers a set of specifications with tolerances.
I think the ruggedness of a scope is driven by a mixture of certain design features and the right specifications. NF and Trijicon have figured this out, but I think the Maven RS1.2 accidentally hit the right balance.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think you can just call up LOW and say "Give me a rugged scope." Especially if it's significantly different than what's already on the market. Who knows how many iterations it would take to prototype and tweak specs, with each unit taking 6+ months to produce.
Ryan—Can you share anything about how the company you are talking with viewed the responses to your thread here? Were they surprised, responsive, or dismissive?Scope specs:
FFP 3-12x40 to 3-12x44mm
Consistently holds zero through 3-foot drops and 3,000 rounds of constant use.
The reticle is specially designed for 25 to 600 yards, with bold outer posts and correct center aiming references.
Zero Stop
Low profile top turret.
Capped windage.
Large eye box
Good glass

Yes, I need another scope soon, assuming this isn’t a random question, I might wait and see how this unfoldsAll:
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?
Too high of a power reduces field of view and increases the likelihood you loose sight picture on the shot. If you didn't see what happened with the shot you've lost valuable information and also loose time reacquiring the animal in the scope. Apples to apples, more animals are likely lost or rodeo's created IF that first shot doesn't do the job and a follow up shot is needed while folks struggle (and probably zoom out) to find the animal again. Also when folks loose the animal while setting up for the shot, have to zoom out and find it and then zoom back in for "aim small" they waste time and potentially loose opportunities.Also, can someone point me to the thread where everyone decided low power was better than high power? Not being sarcastic, legit interested because I've always been on the side of "aim small, miss small"
