Would you buy this scope?

[atmat]

Below is a link to the original special order sale, with specs/price in the first post. As typical of optics related posts, the thread turns into a lot of fussing....

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/printthread/Board/16/main/874571/type/thread

A couple of notes on the specs that differ from that post:
Weight is ~19 oz, not the ~16 listed
Eye relief is ~80mm, not the 90mm listed

You would need to contact Eurooptic regarding current pricing. They will contact S&B and get a quote. The pricing listed by CameraLand for the special order gives you a good idea of what it was...no telling what it is now.

$2k in 2018 for a fixed 6? Geez louise

 

[HighUintas]

Yikes. C'mon rokskope for $1000!

 

[Runwilderness]

Since I’d chimed in on the off topic 6x discussion:

Yes. Preferably $1000ish. My primary concern would be timing, as I’m in the market to change out my current scope and I’d prefer to not buy/sell immediately nor wait years for this scope to appear on the market.

SO @Ryan Avery on a scale of 0-10 what's traction on this idea looking like with someone to actually make it (in any near timeframe)? 0 being pipe dream, 10 being you're proof reading a product announcement. We in the 0-2 realm still or is there movement towards this maybe being a reality?

Should’ve gone a 0-10 “likely to do presale” scale instead.

The original scope in this post sounds dope. Depending on price point, I'd be down for one.

Sidebar, I too dream of a fixed 6x scope with a BDC reticle of some kind. Dear Santa......

Just kidding. ZERO.

Yes I would grab one.

 

[pathnz]

The OP is approx what I've been asking for since about 2010


No-one has yet made it


So yeah I'd be interested

 

[doc holiday13]

44mm is the smallest i'd go.
Seems like a good scope for a 22 or 6mm calibler

 

[waterengineer]

I would buy one to try if the price is around $1,000 and would buy a few more if I liked the first one.

I have the same question, because if not close I will be picking up another scope in the next several months. So far, I really like the RS1.2 that arrived yesterday. Not prefect, but getting closer than I expected.

I’d be interested in giving this scope a shot. I’m curious if it’s actually going to happen.

Also curious for the same reason you mentioned. I will be needing 2 more scopes in the next 2-3 months. Yes I am reviving this. Any updates on traction?

 

[Formidilosus]

Yes there is movement. No, you won’t be able to buy it in 2 months. If it goes through, there will be a lot of testing in the open.

I’d guess closer to 2-3 years.

Is there any timeline established for when we'll get to know if it's happening and what the target sale date will be?

We’ll all patiently wait for the pre order

But I am excited to see what materializes first. The Rokskope or the SWFA 3-9 availability. I’ll also be curious to see if a second scope line gets released as the “MooShaney” option with a 2x zoom range going from 16x-32x.
