Would you buy this scope?

[Schmo]

I am guessing they are buying these scopes from LOW for between $400 and $600, maybe less, depending on order size with quantity discounts. Thats with shipping and customs charges.

I have owned and sold a few businesses importing goods from Japan and China. 1000 scopes costing them $1m is if they were paying retail.

That’s a pretty low blow man

This thread…on a number of different levels. Be good people.

That's a great idea, I will figure out what options we have other than laser engraved and bring this up.

Not to be negative on this, especially if it's just one option - but that is an absolutely horrible color that I do not want emblazoned as a billboard of on the side of my scopes. Respectfully - it's the opposite of sexy, guys.

Smaller, and a subdued gray, is good and fine.

This 1000%

Only needs to be on the optic once IMO. Doesn't need to be discernible from every side

Scope cap will cover it anyway

Put me down for no bright orange on the scope unless its for something functional

Shit, put me in the first batch of 10 scopes and I’ll guinea pig that Canadian import process on the S2H scope Jake.

I did the Canadian side of the import docs when I ordered scopes from Europtic and Maven. It was easy. I got my import certificate in a couple of days.

Jake coming in here with the UM account and stabilizing the thread with lucid talk and transparency.

One thing is for sure—- the scope is an amazing value at $999 if the glass is the grade stated.

A triggercam video through this thing when able would rock. Also for larger market appeal C_does on YouTube(I have no affiliation) does I think the best through the scope reviews of anyone out there and has 67k subs

Great idea. I looked him up and left a comment on his most recent review to get a hold of me. I can't see any other way to contact him.

@Formidilosus also has a triggercam and could do a demonstration I believe.

 

[Bluumoon]

LOL. Bruuh

Pretty sure competitions are still won using MOA reticles. Pretty sure @Formidilosus is just as deadly with an MOA reticle as he is with MIL. He simply prefers MIL. If the scope dials correctly the center of the reticle will kill regardless of MOA or MIL. It has been happening for decades.

Producing this optic with an MOA option doesn't make it a POS or take away from it. Unlike how some of you believe, it doesn't invalidate their design. It simply accommodates more shooters whether that makes them "fudds" for not being willing to learn new things, it doesn't matter.

I'm glad I made you that upset that you felt it necessary to try and berate me. But yes I hope you get an inferior heart graft.

Your response made me smile. Thanks for that, Pumpkin.

Apologies my response wasn’t really for/to you in particular ( rereading I went way overboard starting sentences w “You”) and maybe I’m just contributing to the useless and distracting banter.

I find it fascinating to watch (and then personally test) the innovation of products and ideas we are seeing on RS.

Outside looking in, there is a great team of folks working together making some great products. We are all benefiting from a no compromise no bs technical advisor and UM finding the balance to make the business work.

Ideologically I like the no compromise version, as I think that will push the whole industry forward faster to a better way of doing things in general.
If I’m Jake I prob see $ that’ll be left on the table and other scope companies will fill the gap for MOA.

@Unknown Munitions I did the import process into Canada for two maven scopes and it was very simple and I'm far from good at that kind of thing. That said buying them through Zerotech canada or Jay is fine just hopefully they/we can get in on the first batch. I know there will be alot of appetite for them up here.

OK Canadians, you win! I have applied for the US DEPT of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security SNAP-R account in order to apply for export authorization. As I read it, once my account is approved, you would apply for your Canadian import permit, give your approval to me, and I submit for the export approval.

As long as @ZeroTech Optics approves of this, we will give it a try.
