You and me both. Every time they give me a date I keep thinking maybe they will really come out this time. If there is ever to be a vaporware awards for optics I will nominate the S&B 1-8x.

I have one on order, direct through my S&B military contract contact, and as of a month ago, the direct wording was after March 2013 at earliest.

I'd heard so many revised, delayed release dates on this scope I finally gave up and bought a MKVIII 1.1-8.

I'm normally a S&B snob but the Leupold MKVIII 1.1-8 is a VERY nice piece of glass. Better yet, you can actually get one.

This was also what the rep at Shot said this year.

Unlike the S&B, the USO actually exists!

Sir,

Lazy 21 has my order for a 1-8X with daylight red dot and blue illum C2 reticle. It will be finished in FDE.

If you expedite I promise to post pictures of the scope here mounted on my LMT. I wont even charge for the free advertising. I wont be responsible for the drooled on keyboards either.
 
Re: S&B 1-8X24 Short Dot availability?

I got tired of waiting and bought the Leupod MK 6 1-6.

Like
large tube
light weight
TMR D
illuminated D

Dislike
Not daylight visible on 1X
Christmas tree effect on etchings
I really wanted a 1-8
