Would you buy this scope?

[Schmo]

So do we have pics of this thing yet or what??

To add to that: Isn’t SHOT when the partnering company is going to be revealed?

Correct this is when the Leupy X S2H partnership will be unveiled.

You mean Tract.

If it holds zero, I’d happily run a Leupold

Plot twist: it’s a partnership with SWFA

Honestly, it would bring tears of joy....

I may need to consult a doctor in about four hours.

Funny how the thought of SWFA without the giant turrets can actually cause turret growth in some individuals.

My understanding is that SWFA is essentially what used to be Tasco, and that causes me all sorts of angst, because the Tascos I had in the 80's and 90's were, uh, not drop proof.

ETA: I'd buy from them. Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying, there's irony in coming full circle like that.

No kidding....huh. Yeah, i remember having Tasco scopes in the 80/90's also in my youth.

SWFA isn’t Tasco. The original Super Sniper scope was a Tasco. When Tasco stopped making the SS, SWFA bought the design

Tasco had higher end Japanese scopes at one point in time... The Tasco Titan was on a 30mm tube before 30mm tubes became an everyday thing. They developed the SS for a Navy seal contract. I remember the ad copy for them... Driving nails through boards before Nightforce was doing it.

Not quite. A brief history is here: https://swfa.com/pages/about-us And Tasco as a company was bought by Bushnell.

Thanks guys.

I didn't know all (or even many) of those details. I knew SWFA when they were selling other stuff (a la the Sample List) but didn't get the nexus between them and Tasco.

Neat stuff.

I think the Teratorn name came from the wings on the pack, Teratornis is an extinct bird with a wingspan larger than a condor.

I'm assuming that the company they're working with has their logo on the eyepiece which is why the S2H logo is on the objective.

They've been transparent about the company building these, and they don't put their logo on any of the OEM scopes they build

The company building them (LOW) is not the same as the company with whom S2H is partnering to bring the scope to market.

You’re referring to LOW? I have no expertise in this department, but while that has been transparent, they also said a “big” brand is required to get access to LOW. So they seem to be partnering with someone that has yet to be named.

 

[nm.otter]

...someone with an existing LOW relationship...
