Would you buy this scope?

[Q_Sertorius]

I understand item depreciation. However over 50% should be a concern. That's the same thing as trying to sell a maven rs1.2 for $500.

$1200 for an item available at $1600 new is a very reasonable price.

Remember, we're talking 50% of MSRP - not 50% of high value on the open market.

50% off of MSRP might be 80% of high market value. 80% of street price.

First thing I do in checking into the value of a gun or scope I might be interested in, is hit gunbroker to get an idea of market pricing, not MSRP. That'll usually tell you what a reasonable price range is, and what a good deal is.

Maybe I just have trust issues. But I don't understand why someone would sell a quality "gently used" scope for less than 50% of the MSRP.

that scope semi-regularly goes for a sale price of ~$1200
I bought one at that price once. Good scope for that money. Seller probably bought at that time too and just isn't trying to make a buck.

Using the code RSCPN you can get 15% off rifle scopes at Optics Planet. This brings down the Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44 FFP to $1198.49.

That was me. Bought many at 1200, unloaded here at around a grand. Don't care what they happen to cost at some random period of time. Wait for Black Friday at this point and you too shall have one new for 1200.

The classifieds here are heavily monitored and much appreciated, usually with a little background work you can vet a member pretty quickly and buy with confidence. I've bought and sold a pile of stuff on here.

Ironically, my first transaction was one of the most expensive gear purchases I've ever made, got a really good deal on a Swaro HD spotter. The seller had me call him and gave me the rundown on how serious members take the classifieds and how to go about verifying all you can to be safe.

You won’t regret it. I am a fan of mine.

I've been watching that scope but I'm looking to pay closer to $1,200. not $2,400

Sounds like you might have already grabbed one, but another option is to put it on a notification list at Dvor. That site is run by Optics Planet, but they blow out limited inventory there very cheaply. There's no guarantee that something will be re-listed, but they seemed to cycle through the same products when I used it for a bit. While stories of OP's lack of fulfillment are legion, I've personally not had any problems with either their main site or Dvor.

Ive read through as much of this thread as possible to get the gist. What is the deal here? It sounds like there are some prototypes in production/testing but hard to tell what else.

When can I buy this thing, who will be selling it, what will availability look like, and what will the price be?

 

[keystone112]

Can we change the name of this thread to …

“When can I buy this scope?”

 

[benconfused]

I'd love a 3-15 or even 3-20 just to be different, RS1.2 reticle, locking elevation turret, everything else already listed.

Whatever it ends up being, I'm sure it'll be awesome, sign me up.

Latest stats appear to be 3-14x and 24 ounces.

 

[denverangler725]

I won't be buying unless it's 1-50x and 3 ounces. Call me when its done, I have my $80 dollars ready.

 

[tmilam2002]

I’d be very interested

I must have missed it but…. Did Ryan or Form ever get a prototype to play with? How far out is this looking?

I have not heard of any prototypes being quite ready yet. Based on what I have read here, I think we can expect these scopes to be available for sale next summer.

Are the mag ranges set in stone? I know my opinion means nothing but a 3-15 or 3-18 would be slick

Keep dreaming!

I have to ask, would it really make that much difference to go from 14x to 15x on the upper end? I get the argument for 18x on the upper end, but I’m not sure I’d even notice the difference between 14x and 15x.

Not that my opinion matters either, I’m not really in the market at the moment
