Quigley Ford scopes have recently received their patent on a new scope. Can you believe they have come out with a new scope that is both first and second focal plane. To me this seemed impossible. I have been reviewing Q/F scopes for many years in different publications. I received one of these scopes a while back and mounted it on a Montana Rifles custom in 6.5 PRC which absolutely loved the Berger 156 grain. The scope optics are equivilent to some of the very best. The warranty is the same. This scope ends the problems that each of the second and first focal planes have caused. If the light is getting low, lower the power and you still have a correct aiming point. There are no scope caps to take off, turets to turn or drop charts. All this with no batteries required. For physical reasons I have not been able to give it a full test. At least pull up their web site and check this scope out.

Quigley Ford is just the gift that keeps on giving. Let's see some of them "soccer ball groups" and remember not to "hide beside your computer" while taking cheap shots at this Chinese-tube wonder scope that has won Field and Stream's best scope of 2010 or whatever the hell it was. And God help you if you blaspheme the progenitor of this optical masterpiece, the man who:

  • Worked his first sportsman show in 1972
  • Was a founder of the Canadian Taxidermists Assn. in the later 1970s
  • Won the Masters Award in 1984 for Best Fish mount in National Competition
  • Wrote an outdoor column

Bench 275? ✅
200 bow kills? ✅
Work concrete for 28 years? ✅

If so, you may qualify to be a sponsored QF shooter. If not.....GTFO!

ETA: now paging @308pirate and @Yoteski - your services are needed for round 2.

Per the link in OP, D943050. Patent was issued earlier this year, but the description appears to be for a reticle, not for the actual mechanical features of a DFP optic. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get the USPTO website to show me the entire filing, just the first page.
 
Ignore these sons of bitches, they can’t afford QF. Heck I love ‘em. I’ve named the dual focal that rides my singleshot straighwall the QUEEF (Quigley’s Ultimate Electronicless Eye Ford). Yeah, the acronym “QUEEF” is a lot hot air to take in, but what can I say? I’m full of hot air meself.

Ol’ Single Shot, you keep riding man. I’ll be following right behind…you with your singleshot, and me with QUEEFster atop ma mighty 45-70. Sunset here we a come! Yeehaa!

You can get it here: https://patents.google.com/patent/USD943050S1/en?oq=OP,+D943050

It is a design patent, not a utility patent. He basically patented what the sight picture looks like through the scope, i.e. the patent examiner, esteemed Mojtaba Tehrani who grants 98% percent of patents he sees, is either a blithering imbecile or simply didn't look at it.

Here is the entirety of the claim: "The ornamental design for a gun sight reticle, as shown and described"

The examiner looked at this BDC reticle and completely ignored the fact that it is as different looking from many other BDC reticles as swiss cheese is from another block of swiss cheese.

Honestly that seems like a steal if it comes with the ability to bench 275, and work 20 years of concrete. Now the real question is, if I put this on my bow, will it guarantee 200 confirmed bow kills?

I was shooting concrete, benching bowkills and I puked 275.

I'm definitely not a 200.

With that out of the way, how do I mount this on my tactical revolver so I can shoot a deer wearing Kevlar?
