Would you buy this scope?

I sold all my NF for this.

First all the Leupolds, and now all the NFs? You don't muck around ...

Nikons are next. Need the SWFA 6x to come back in stock as these are on muzzle loaders. Then I’ll drop test my last 3 Nikons or I may just sell them I haven’t decided. So far 3 Leupold, 4 NF, 3 Nikons, 2 Burris, 2 Swarovski and 1 Khales. All replaced with Maven 1.2 and a SWFA’s and 1 sightron

I still do not like the SWFA reticle but it hasn’t kept me from killing critters yet.

The issue is that in general, unless it’s a mil issues scope- colored ones don’t sell all that well compared to black.

Makes sense. I'm not sure how much (if any) improvement the bronze-ish anodizing colors might offer.

External coatings offer all manner of interesting properties, but too much labor (or very complex machinery) for a mass market product.

My kneejerk response is that anything with lower absorption will probably be shiny and hard to market

vet wrap or hockey tape should help

That, or just rattle can to suit preference in color. Unless resale value is a concern.

It'd be tough to meet every whim for FDE, tan, bronze, etc.

Are we getting a locking turret?
