    SAI 10 1-10

    I looked through maybe 3 or 4. They were all the same.

    SAI 10 1-10

    It was so far ahead of its time. Alas, like the push-button to shift transmissions of yesteryear, it will have to wait its turn, it seems.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Even setting the VCOG 1-6 at 3-4x didn't solve THAT bag of trash for me, but on other scopes, for sure this is the ticket.

    SAI 10 1-10

    When MPVO's reach the size and durability of the LPVO, I am definitely game to explore it. I've actually been trying to find a quality prism sight with a decent reticle, but ACOG's are all that exist in that realm and frankly, the reticle is trash. The Eotech offering shows the concept gaining...

    SAI 10 1-10

    I've found most have what you'd consider design limitations. If I set the diopter to result in a true unity, most scopes will be blurry at 8x. The NX8 is a relatively rare exception for me.

    SAI 10 1-10

    I am very sensitive to diopter shift across magnification ranges, and 1-8's are pretty bad. 1-6's, some good some bad. Mk6 was excellent, vcog was horrific. The nx8 and atacr are pretty good, but the nx8 is closer to true 1x.

    SAI 10 1-10

    The NX8 is VERY picky on setting up diopter. I have found most 1-8x scopes, are, annoyingly, but it's not bad once you set it up. That said, I am still very interested to see how the SAI 1-10 actually do!

    No, they don't.

    SAI 10 1-10

    I asked SAI if they side impact tested. They told me they didn't. Nx8 is a great optic. I use it to shoot things. Not watch birds. Swarovski is my choice for bird watching.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Nightforce is my gold standard. Most other manufacturers don't even do side impact testing. SAI among them.

    SAI 10 1-10

    I guess I just have a special affection for Nightforce because they test beyond what most others do, and I know I can count on them. Hopefully SAI ups their stringency for the SAI10 and its a great and proven option.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Well, you have more insight into it than I do, but what's your take on the reliability/durability of this design, I am curious to know. I understand TT is who is behind it, and that gives me confidence, but still.

    SAI 10 1-10

    People pay vortex 100% markup, I don't think a tariff will matter.
  14. J

    SAI 10 1-10

    No it won't. We overpay like a mf for optics, a lil tariff won't stop anyones purchase.

    SAI 10 1-10

    I believe that the reason nightforce has not or did not improve optical properties may (I say may, since I do not know of course), have required redesigning some assembly in such a way that would compromise durability and reliability. That is why I like Nightforce. I can count on it to work, if...

    Mini scout light

    Mini turbo IS bulkier, but it has more throw by a notable amount, and it's true dual fuel in that a single CR123 will indeed power it, AND with that single CR123, it's still a very VERY viable light. I am measuring over 50K LUX with mine on a single CR123.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Physically that's not really possible unless the tube thickness is increased, but mainly I meant light and lens wise why not do 34mm?

    SAI 10 1-10

    As much as you hate on my beloved NX8, I am surprised a 10x 30mm/24mm gets praise from you. I am clueless as to why they didn't use a 34mm tube like everyone else with a 10x erector assy, but you say it somehow works? Also, is this going to be made in CA or JP? I had heard talk of SAI moving...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    Mainly, I was curious if you ever got it back, etc. Also what was wrong with it.

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight short range hunting optic?

    I'm unaware of any testing done with this optic regarding hard use or of its track record retaining zero and accurate dialing. Nx8 is proven to work and was tested to the same standards as the ATACR for socom.
