But I must say that as a user, I'm extremely happy that when I was on the market for a good LR precision rifle, DTA provided a 40 MOA mount for my 35mm scope. I must also say that from my limited experience and expertise, Vortex Razor HD is the best within its price point - considering reliability, features, reticle design, and cost. I conjecture that as Vortex Razor matures more, there would be more users (like myself?
) and thus more requests for this mount on a DTA rifle. And unless I'm mistaken - there are <span style="text-decoration: underline">more</span> scopes coming out with 35mm tube, something unheard of a few years ago (I think).
Sniper Central site seems to concur on 35mm tubes <span style="text-decoration: underline">growing</span> in popularity (somewhere closer to the end of the article that reviews 34mm Hensoldt). Like you, I've no idea why bother with that extra 1mm and what capabilities it offers that 34mm tube can't - but the scope manufacturers have made their choice.
Perhaps it would be possible to at least occasionally run a 40 MOA 35mm batch? If the volume is that low, there shouldn't be a problem keeping those few manufactured in stock?
<span style="font-style: italic">Yes I understand it's about tooling. I don't know what can be done. But perhaps you can find a solution? Vortex or IOR aren't likely to abandon 35mm approach.</span></div></div>
Yeah there do seem to be a few 35mm scopes popping up and now larue saw the need to offer a few 35mm mounts. I personally like the focal range of the razor and features....but that being said I ended up buying a 5-25 Premier with a 20 moa DTA mount a few minutes ago.
