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.

X2 on the vet wrap. Big selection of colors on Amazon too

Are we getting a locking turret?

Something we touched on earlier, but didn’t explicitly say:

Can you thread the ocular and objectives the same pitch as Leupold?

Love them or hate them, in my opinion the Leupy Alumina caps are the best on the market. Let us buy our own.

Not sure @nm.otter was after a range of colors, or acting on a whim - they just pointed out that black scopes can get hot in high heat / solar gain contexts.

Good grief! Your hurt feeler report has been noted.

My sincerest apologies to you and "they", for suggesting a simple solution (spray paint) to create a non-black scope.

I'd also like to acknowledge your stature are Thought Police, for all of Rokslide.

Thanks!

Yes, that's a great magnification for straight- wall whitetail hunting.
Next id like to see a 3-18.

I hope that they adopt the Henry Ford mantra: “Any color the customer wants, as long as it’s black.”

Err ... no hurt feelings, and not being 'thought police' at all ... your post had just seemed to miss the point made in the original post about the issue. Nothing more, nothing less - no need for snarky comments or name calling.

The Trijicon tenmile 3-18 has been reviewed and drop tested if you are looking for a reliable 3-18.
