Would you buy this scope?

Pop the O ring off the turret stem. My 3-9 was mushier than mashed potatoes, and now it had better clicks than my Credo. Some risk of water, but seems like it would take a lot to cause an issue. Like submersed.

You, sir, live more recklessly than I.

I’ll just live with my mushy mashed potato turrets..

Just to play devil's advocate, besides low profile turrets, what are you getting that you aren't getting from an SWFA 3-15x?

Better reticle, lower profile turrets, 10 mils per rev vs five, zero stop, and, I hope, better glass.

Excellent rebuttal. All good reasons. Although I love the SWFA reticle. I'm curious to see what this new scope has.

The base erector design/optical system was the same as several other well known, purpose made scopes that are reliable and durable that hold zero from drops and impacts. It has been interesting to learn as this has went on. LOW knows exactly what scopes hold zero long term and hold zero from drops- because they were designed specifically to do so. And… which features reduce the reliability and durability.

I've looked forward to some gear purchases the last few years, but it's been awhile since I've actually felt some excitement about an item coming out. It's enough to have me hold off on several scope purchases until these come out.

This thing about LOW knowing exactly what it takes to build a bomb-proof scope, that's interesting. Not only is it interesting in that it's exactly what you'd expect they should know - it also says a lot more about current scope brands using them for OEM that are making conscious decisions not to prioritize durability.

It would be interesting to know what those other brands are prioritizing instead of durability and repeatability. There are plenty of expensive scopes out there that don’t hold zero, so it can’t just be a cost thing. Perhaps LOW knows what erectors are durable, but their customers don’t.
