Would you buy this scope?

[Nine Banger]

Personally I use my higher end magnification for spotting my hunting partner and for ID'ing targets.

 

[stephane]

I hope these will be made available in Canada!

Bushnell already made this scope. It was a little heavy and some didn’t care for the reticle. I’d imagine they could do it again with a few modifications to appease the crowd here

I’d also like to see a 7x50 fixed scope with a really good reticle that comes in under 20oz. And costs sub $600.

Which scope?

The one in Ryan's OP? Not really ...

Bushy 3-12 lrts and or lrhs.

That one doesn't make weight, and reticle was not optimal.

 

[jrh357]

All depends on the reticle

That’s exactly what I said lol

Any updates or new information?

It’s in progress. See post #672.

Slight difference from the OP due to requirements, but unless they turn out to not work- they’ll be a scope. More than likely students of S2H classes will see and shoot prototypes this summer.

With what you've recently shared about the THLR reticle, it seems like it's a huge part of the ability to get things done with a scope in the widest set of conditions possible...what are the chances this new scope will have that, or a close variant of the THLR?

It will.

 

[RockAndSage]

It will.

Hell yes. That's great news.

Thanks Form! I was following along closely for awhile and got behind, then skipped to the end.

When can we know more about it?

 

[Formidilosus]

When can we know more about it?

When we do I would guess.

The company is making them specifically to be as reliable as possible without them weighing 2lbs. While nothing is 100%, that is the #1 item on the priority list. Next is mil reticles made for hunting throughout the magnification range.

Can we start the guessing game for manufacturer?

I'm assuming with all of the new brands of scopes around then perhaps it's become easier to place an order with an OEM than we thought. However, the likely choice here would be LOW, and we've heard they're a tough nut to crack, so maybe not. Unless the bar was something lower than we expected, but highly likely to sell - let's say 1000 units.

On the other hand, if the guys had to go through an existing brand, I'm going to make a wild outside guess ... and go with GSO. Just for the fun of it.

What's everyone else's guess?

There's been a bunch already on this thread......

And each as useful as the next

You don't know what's on the dark side of the moon, unless you go there. No amount of speculation is accurate or useful.
