Would you buy this scope?

I dunno... looks like optical quality really drops off at the edges at 3x

Cuz that’s easy to judge through a phone picture on the internet looking at a white wall at 4 feet

Gonna get ahead of this and clarify - especially with some of the folks in this thread...

Jokes man! Jokes!

But IF you dont have that crisp optical quality all the way to the edges, how are you supposed to hold for that 218mph crosswind at 9000yds?

Edit2 - (more clearerer): I think it looks fantastic

The reticle turned out from what we can see- perfect.
The eyebox is noticeably large and easy to get behind. The turrets are crisp and firm- they will not spin unless you want to. The closest thing they feel like is the Minox ZP5 turrets- they are dang good.
Parralax is firm, not too tight, not too loose. Power ring is smooth, with good resistance. Hard to tell today- but the glass looks very good.

That reticle is what I was hoping for. Declutterred and useful. Maintains the dot in the box I prefer.

@Formidilosus - so it is actually in your hands it sounds like?

Can’t make an FFP reticle good on 3x and 18x…


@Ryan Avery and @THLR- hold my beer.

Yes.

What is the size of the center dot?

 

[Mike D Texas]

There's a shit ton of margin on many consumer goods. I work in the furniture industry. People would have a stroke if they knew the margins.

Yeah that too.

The reticle is a thing of beauty. When do the trials and tribulations start for the poor thing?

 

[benconfused]

Yes.

Excellent, good luck with testing and fingers crossed they built it right the first time.

 

[MT_Wyatt]

I hope it got its first drop on show floor .

I'd bet the first thing he did after looking at the reticle and twisting the knobs was drop it on the floor. No point in waiting around!

No point in dropping it unless there's a collimator handy. You can't tell if it shifted without one when a scope isn't mounted on a rifle and shot to confirm.

The scope is….




Fantastic with regards to reticle, eyebox, size, turrets, parralax- it is beyond what Ryan or I had hoped for.

I'm a discerning buyer and I would take that in a heartbeat.

That reticle looks great! Let’s see a photo of the scope on a scale.

That reticle looks to be exceptionally well executed. My interest in a 3-18 has changed a bit in the last 10 minutes.

It’s 33oz. Do you still buy it?
