Would you buy this scope?

[nm.otter]

If the first scope model sells, I imagine the company is going to be open to about anything we want. And a fixed 8x- I want.

After spending some time with the SWFA 6x, I'm now dreaming of something smaller -- and crazy light. Maybe a 4x28mm, or a 4.5x32mm.

I could get behind a 4x28 or 4x32 at 14-16 ounces with dialable elevation REAL fast!

I hunted with a B&L 4x32 all last season and found it completely useless at placing bullets through brush at any range or even determining antlers in a woods background under normal conditions at more than 100 yards. I also can’t see many contemporary hunters lining up to buy a 4x32 or similar. Not many folks hunting with ACOGs, as far as I can tell (although that is what I know and love for a combat optic).

9 oz...maybe like 11 with the piggieback

5x, The mil reticle works decent. No dialing. Probably not ideal for ID in the woods. But ive shot to 400 with it (and a 3 gun match) and it was nice.

Seems to have held up. Not the greatest test, but i drove it to AZ, humped it up and down for 4 or 5 days strapped to a pack. Drove back to Texas. And smoked a Lil spike and a coyote at closer ranges. Need to check zero at 100 to confirm.

My goal was the lightest setup possible for sub 500 yard shots. Goal seems to be met....if it holds up.

A 1.5-6x42 would be awesome

If the SWFA 3-9 HD and Bushy LRTS 3-12 had a baby scope...that'd be "the one" for me.

Weight/size/FOV of SWFA, turret profile, zero stop and locking windage of Bushy...reticle a hybrid of both, thicker outer stadia like SWFA with G3 Bushy reticle....oh buddy

Hope you guys sell the 3-18 like hotcakes to fund the 3-12 lightweight

I’d actually kill for the turret profile and body of the SB Klassic.

The weird looks my SWFA turrets gets me in hunting camp make me agree. Also a slim form factor is undeniably better for hunting.

I've come to enjoy people looking askance at the SWFA goofy turrets - actually, it helps me differentiate who knows what from what.

They kinda do look like they came out of a blister pack

I love the short fat turrets on the bushys, never seen an S&B but they look practical

And then when you tell them how much they cost; “You could’ve gotten a nice Leupold for that much and gotten something American made!” (Even though they’re not)

I was hunting the last few days with my Maven and tinkering with the zoom. I couldn’t help but wish I had the 6x SWFA back on there because it would have been one less thing to think about. And now that I've posted this, I remember I have the Gen 2 6x that has been sitting on the shelf. In the box. All alone. I need to mount and use it.

With the Maven, I’d just leave it at 4x on the low end. The crosshairs are visible at that. Then if I needed more mag I cranked it a tad.

I have 6x’s on right now and love them. But as long as you use 4x as the low end the maven is great.

I'd go for the 44mm version, especially in MOA!

That's one feature we know isn't going to be offered

The S&B klassik turrets are roughly the same height as a capped leupold turret. They are “limited” to 4.8 mils of adjustment
The other S&B lines have a taller turret

Realistic depiction of a guy dialing an moa scope in the field, "thats 1233.8975 clicks sir"

I still like the Maven a lot. I end up keeping it between 4x and 6x. But I also love simplicity.
