Would you buy this scope?

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

I might have also missed it with all of the other stuff.

@Formidilosus how is the glass quality? What would you compare it to?

I know glass quality was far down on your list of important things, but its pretty important to me. Overall, what can we compare it to?

Fwiw, I think Swfa type is the absolute minimum quality I'd be interested in. Nx8/ Trijicon tenmile glass quality would be better.

I know Form said the eyebox is generous, so that's a huge plus to me as well.

No, image quality was important. It is better than Tenmile/Credo, Maven RS1.2, NF SHV, and I would say NX8- but I don’t have one here to compare yet.
Again, this isn’t a $1,000 scope. This is a $2,000 scope with the two parties...

This scope on top of a tikka 6cm. 2026 is going to be a good year!

Has Tikka announced a 6CM? Did I miss this ... or did I not get that you're making a joke?

You missed the threads on it, threaded 6cm lites are on the tikka website.

You do know that we tend to be smarter, have more sex, but die earlier?



I might have made up the middle part ...

I missed them too. I will be buying. Now I might need two rokscopes instead of one.

...for now.

Still waiting on Superlites, Ace, and other configs as well.

Europtic dude on here has a standalone thread about them. He's saying May time frame.

Some of you posting about 6CM Tikkas and leftys after complaining about extraneous topics and thread derailment better STFU...

Any update on the standard Mil reticle design and the thickness it will be?

Unless something drastically changes. I won’t share all the measurements until it is finalized, but the outer posts are thick enough to bracket correctly.

I've fingered the scope a couple times the last couple days here at expo at the UM booth and at zero tech.
Its very nice, light, checks a lot of boxes. Form factor is great. Zoom is smooth, has a nice little throw lever.

I dont love the thlr type reticle because its hard to get a real feel for how it looks with animals in the scope. The box almost seems cluttered looking at the walls inside a building.

Im not a mil guy but im not opposed to buying it in mils and learning. I will probably buy one when its available just not set on which reticle I'll get just yet

I think folks are going to be very pleased with this scope after getting a chance to see it. Guys at the zero tech booth were awesome to talk with

No chance you can convince them to just go to 6mils on the bottom post too, eh?

No. There is a segment that needs or wants to be able to hold in the reticle. Think of that one as an improved/updated SWFA MilQuad reticle. It is good, but the THLR is better for killing.
