    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    So a super forgiving 2.5-10 would be preferred over a slightly more finicky 2-12, is that what you're saying? But if the 2-12 had the "right" reticle and the 2.5-10 had a sucky reticle, which would you prefer then? Just trying to get an idea of priorities with regard to design...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    Good to know. How about how forgiving the scope is? For example, would you take a 2-10 if it had a much more forgiving eyebox over a 1.5-12 or 2-16 that was a lot more finicky to get behind?

    I tend to agree, one more generation, but I bet after that generation comes, there will still be innovations beyond that which keeps us saying... "the next generation" 😝 When you're talking Honda gearbox are you talking cars or motorcycles (or lawnmowers :ROFLMAO:)?

    I agree, locking turret would be ideal but how much weight would this add, would you be willing to give up a bit of weight for that feature? Excellent point, yes, parallax adjustable is preferred, I will edit my original post.

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    You might be one of the most prolific night hunters here wig... interesting where you're journey started and where you are now. You ask "why an MPVO" because some guys don't have or don't want clip-ons but want a scope that is still usable in low light, also, do you take your LPVO's out beyond...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    Do you think there would be interest for the V6 2-12x50 and V8 1.8-14x50 with exposed turrets and the AHR reticle? Not thrilled with SFP but might be what some are looking for? Here's the reticle with DLB center illuminated dot...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    I’d like to see lighter too, but wouldn’t want to impede optical or mechanical integrity so there is a balance. The ZCO and Leupold 2-10x30’s I think are too heavy for 2-10x30’s and a big part is because they took existing erector and eyepiece designs and incorporated into the smaller optical...

    Maybe that was ATI’s strategy after seeing the interest from the community with the unobtanium (mil only) AMG 1-10 shorty, they bring out their version. EO has been getting a few AMG’s they bundle with rifles so at least we have a few in the wild.

    The zerotech has a motorized zoom so could be quite different. China is often copying other designs.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

    Especially now that Schmidt jacked their prices again to “you’ve got to be kidding me” levels, maybe by fall they’ll realize they are loosing revenue and drop them back down to reality, this has been a common pattern with Schmidt for a while now.

    Interesting thought with the integrated mount, the new Eotech 3-9 is very interesting but would want FFP. Built in mounting plate forward of the turret housing would be ideal too.

    You’re absolutely right about illumination, I felt I was forgetting something when I hit send, with all the new illumination tech ot shouldn’t be too difficult. When you say limit to 44mm I assume to not go over 44mm right?

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    Think of this thread as a petition to manufacturers to show there is serious interest in this type of scope if done right. First I think we need to define what an MPVO is so we don't confuse this with a crossover scope or a hunting scope et al. The term MPVO is a natural progression of the...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    You're probably right, I used to do flare/halation at all the mag ranges I tested at but it was becoming a pain and I wasn't sure if anyone was actually getting anything out of that, but now that I know I'll try to remember to put that back in... I know I said in the review that I wouldn't say...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex RG3 6-36x56, Element Theos 6-36x56 and Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56 Review

    Oh nice. Has your experience mimic'd what I share in my review or do you have different thoughts? I'm always curious how much sample variance plays a role here.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Now we're talking, but most manufacturers still think gas gun shooters want an LPVO, they haven't caught on to the new trend of piggybacking an RDS and now this crowd is recognizing that for engagements beyond 300 yards it is nice to have a scope that is actually designed for this and not a...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    You can kind of get an idea of that between my last two reviews. This one has the TT and RG3 and my latest review has the RG3 and LRP S3 6-36's. I have not see the ZCO 8-40 so cannot comment but I would say the Zeiss LRP S3 makes a very compelling argument especially at its price point.

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    Nightforce doesn't talk to little people like me... I am but a blip on their radar, a chink in their armor, a stone in their shoe... :LOL: I try to give fair and honest reviews of the scopes I bring in which means sometimes manufacturers will love me and sometimes they will hate me based on my...

    Tube scopes and mount heights on ar15

    Easy. It mostly comes down to simple math. The standard 1.50" high mount is measured from the top of the picatinny rail to the center of the tube which means this could, in theory, support just under a 3" outer diameter scope which roughly equates to about 76mm, even most 56mm objectives don't...
