Good luck. With those parameters the vortex razor is a really good option. </div></div>
So in other words, they want to charge more for their magIc new hunting scope than their F1? He's not asking anything but a smaller F1 essentially. If that includes more than 10-15% increase to keep it smaller, they aren't going to gain anything unless it is significantly better than what's out. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. $2500 buys a lot of scope...just a bit more cash can pick up S&B 3-12x easily in used market. Can't a guy get new non-illuminated units for that?
Though it's not my favorite scope, these 4-16x42 PM IIs that come up used time to time keep looking better and better. </div></div>
I just don't see them coming out with a ffp that isn't a 34mm tube is all I'm saying. But what do I know. This is all conjecture. And for just a bit more a guy can pick up a Kahles 6-24 or Steiner 5-25.</div></div>
