Create a channel Learn moreI hear NF may bring out a new scope called "the BEAST" this year. Just a rumor at this point though
Tangent Theta looke awesome! There is a clear need to follow up on them.
March-F 3-24x52 and Tactical 2.5-25x52 were however the big news. Whenever I think they get just as good as a scope can get, they shock me with a new one that's even greater. When will that stop?
These scopes are definite killers.
U.S: Optics came with a new 1-4x22. What a scope? Realy impressed with it.
Vortex Razor HD GenII 3-18x50 and 4.5-27x56. HOTNESS.
Available mid-2014

Was hoping for some more 1-8 options, maybe next year :/
I have an IOR, I'm just about to have a heart attack over wanting one of the new March 52's. But I have also been quietly looking at Steiner, I have a pair of Military Binoculars from them that are awesome. I have always wondered about there scopes.
Just one man's opinion, but I checked out the 2 new 52mm obj March's today and thought the eyebox was still really tight. Was bummed.
My Steiner scope is amazing.

I would like to hear a little more on Tangent Theta. Any more details?
NO JOKE. I'm almost foaming at the mouth for any info. I am going to do everything in my power to get to the next SHOT shows....I just can't take this anymore! hahaSurprised I hadn't heard anything about those new Razors, always lots of Vortex talk on here
I hear ya. At least your car is worth enough to buy cool items with the money. My everyday car is worth less than any single one of the scopes mentioned. Whatdafuh, I just drive to work and back. Priorities, right?

If I may expand on the topic, I don't feel that Shortcut fully conveyed the true gravity of the turrets. The turrets are the best there is on the planet. PERIOD. No if's, and's or but's. Perfect in every way, they feel and sound better than ANYTHING else available. The perfect amount of tension, no more hard to turn turrets that make you skip over where you meant to dial like the Premiers did and the click is in feel what a Honey-Crisp apple is in the world of fruit. Better than March? Yes! Better than Schmidt-Bender? Muthafucka I already told you it's the BEST!
The zero stop is the easiest and simplest design for the user there is. No tools, none; and gone are the clicks after you had disnegaged the turret on the old PH's. Once you loosen the finger screw on top the turret spins freely until you tighten it back down. I can't imagine anything more convenient for someone who can only afford one great scope and needs to move it from one rifle to another.
The glass is the same as Premier had used, nobody ever said they wished for something more out of a Premier Heritage optically that I've ever heard.
I'm pimping them hard all over the optics forum, but they were absolutely the highlight of my SHOT show this year. I'm like a little bitch in love. I am not affiliated with them in any way, just a user who had his socks blown off.
To convince the wife that we needed a new $4k+ scope this year I took the little lady on an epic optics journey today, from the BEAST to Kahles, S&B, Steiner, Hensoldt, the new Razors and March. I made her wring the knobs, and move her head around behind it to get a feel for the eyebox, she messed with illumination and compared reticles. I ended the day at Tangent Theta having checked them out the day before and when she got behind it and had done all the futzing she needed she said "OK, I'm sold. You were right, it's the shit, get one!" Her willingness to accept the expenditure is all the proof I need that it's the king of Boggle.
Any idea of the cost of the U.S. Optics 1-4x22?
Thanks,
Charles

Yeah, that scope is supposed to be $1899 by the time it hits the market.
S&B had a 3-20x50 Ultra Short to go with the 5-20. Didn't spend much time on it.

I was as well. Since the 2.5-10x24 NF was cut from the civilian market there really aren't too many 1-Higher mag options that don't cost 2K.
I saw 4 new scopes that weren't on display... unfortunately I can't report on any of them.
Most companies are maintaining, the ones I saw probably won't be talked about for a while, except maybe the one I saw at Kahles, it has the best chance for the earliest release.
I thought the 3-24x50mm was really good, in my opinion the eye box was much better than the previous models. I would use that March as a tactical scopes, it was definitely a winner.
Their new laser was excellent.
