I’m far from normal. I was talking about fixed X being a great option back when the Leupold 2.5-8x was the gold standard here, and people thought you had to be poor or super old to prefer a fixed power. We sure have changed gears on our leupold opinions here.Because this is Rokslide and we aren't normal, it will be a 7x52 fixed power.

I agree.I’m far from normal. I was talking about fixed X being a great option back when the Leupold 2.5-8x was the gold standard here, and people thought you had to be poor or super old to prefer a fixed power. We sure have changed gears on our leupold opinions here.
I actually am really hoping that a fixed 6 or 7, maybe even 8, is the phase two of this project. Maybe just a tad smaller OBJ. Like a 6 or 7 x42 or a 8x46-50ish.
You remember correctly, they should have units to test during the S2H classes this summerI feel like I heard on the podcast they are hoping to have some by summer? Maybe just test units for them and not for sale by then though.
Duh, I think this is proofHate to ruin it for you guys, but its clearly a Leupold collab
Your green stock will forever haunt meDuh, I think this is proof
That’s Form’s, I try to not post pics of mine not knowing what people will do with the pictures when nobody is lookingYour green stock will forever haunt me
Good news is you have presumably equally valued scopes to sell and enable replacement!So I recently read all of forms drop tests and scope reviews and went down the rabbit hole researching hunting scopes. My main hunting rifles had leupold vx6, ZEISS v4 and Talley lightweight mounts. Never had a problem with optics or mounts but hearing about failures had me doubting my set up. So I bought 2 4-16 atacr’s, a trijicon Tenmile 3-18, and a nx8 2.5-20 to put on my main hunting rifles. Mounted with Burris xtr steel bases or pic rail with nightforce and mt tech rings. Bedded and glued bases to rifles. Optics are heavier than I wanted but I couldn’t any similar quality optics in the 20oz range and I have confidence in my set up now. Was trying to save weight with my previous set up. Now my rifles are about a pound heavier but on the plus side my wallet is so light I’ll fly up the mountain this fall.
Now I came across this thread describing a new scope that checks all the boxes… this forum has cost me a lot of money
That is refreshing to hear after getting caught up on this thread. Keep the committee out of it, you know how dumb and wishy washy we areThe scope is not being designed by committee. It is what Ryan and I want it to be with some limitations based on time and cost.
Just as with the stocks, the suppressors, the rings, the bolt knobs, the bags, etc, etc- no offense to anyone, but random desires aren’t changing anything.
Every company tries to be everything to everyone, and end up sucking for all.
My vote is a 40mm tube, with a 36mm objective to cut weight... in an 11 inch 35mm tube!![]()
