Not quite ...

Someone convinced Nikon to hook them up with LOW in exchange for putting the Nikon name back on a scope?

That would truly warm my heart.

That would truly warm my heart.

I still have a half dozen Nikon Buckmaster scopes. For set and forget with a BDC reticle, they are my favorite. I've taken some serious falls with a couple of them and never lost zero. I was truly saddened when they got out of the scope game.

Still waiting to see if my tract hypothesis…well, tracks. Day 1 SS is over, suppose we wait for day two.

Is there a prize for guessing who? I know who it is now. Or im 99.9% sure.

Would not surprise me if it is Tract. When eagleman was trying to get his reticle done, he mentions in his videos trying to talk to people from athlon, nightforce, Trijicon... Tract is the only one that followed up with him on it.

Good on Tract if this is the case (I don’t really care who it ends up being honestly) - they took a lot of flak after the social media like posts and internal reaction to scope testing….there’s hope. After the success of Rokstock I would think companies would be paying “a bit” more attention to making products to address shortfalls discussed on here.

I reached out to Tract years ago when they were new and asked them about a better reticle. They weren’t interested. But that was probably 6-8 years ago or more.

Background matters when you're asking a company to spend THEIR money on YOUR idea. I'm sure all of these companies get emails every other day from Tom, Dick, and Harry about what they need to do to improve their product lines. Very few of the suggestions can be monetized and profitable.

Oh, I'm certain of that.

Ryan is probably just gonna wait it out until the last moment of SHOT. Just to make us wait

Not tract unless there randomly is a company who's text and general layout matchs the prototypes. That company also have capped turrets that match the coin slot style turrets of the prototype also.

I posted these quite a few pages back, not exact font (tail of T has slight difference) but it’s the closest on the market.

So you pre-paid via putting a deposit down creating a legal contract, then when your Bronco Raptor finally arrived, the demand was such that due to lower allocation/availability, you essentially sold it to the dealer for way more then the dealer original sales contract you signed ?

There are a magnitude of companies pre-selling inventory out. I’m not sure why there is an issue. I don’t see either user name calling outdoor vitals or Kuiu frauds as they built multi million dollars companies pre selling container inventory as a business model.

Aren’t pre-selling and “container inventory” mutually exclusive terms? Legitimate question. Why would you need to pre sell if you already had the inventory?

If this were a thing, I’d actually be ok with it. You’d be buying a unit that actually exists somewhere (warehouse, container,etc.).

But preselling to fund R and D or production makes no sense to me. At least not from the viewpoint of the consumer. I’m not willfully assuming business risk passed off onto me as a consumer.
