I AM HAPPY.....

Probably not just yet. As we have more paperwork and custom stuff to go through. so it might be another week or 2 before they hit the dealers

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
Got my pre-order in already... looking forward to it.
I'm not in a rush. Sure, I'm anxious, but not in a rush.
I'm just wondering if they're ever going to put their dang web site back up - it's been a "temporarily unavailable, will be back up shortly" message for nearly a month.
I HAD hoped to compare some specs on their different scopes...
Gotta hustle up and bed the rifle and get it's mount on to get 'er ready for the new glass

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
Any group buys going to happen?
I'd like to have one but am on a leash after all of my post Obama spending. Being unemployed for 6 months didn't help either.

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
The only thing i dont like about mine is the eye releif. it is a bit short, I bet it is around 2". You wouldnt want to have this scope on a 300mag. Mine is a prototype. i only hope the production models have better eye releif!! Lee

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
So am I. The say about up till 10 days before they give green light.
Just made a End consumer paper yesterday, just to make sure that I dont mount the thing on a missle or other nuclear devices!!!! Mann, give me a break. I WANT IT NOW (British Gov. NOT Falcon, as always their Customer support is amazing.)

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
Has Falcon confirmed what (if any) changes they made to the production model scope?

Im thinking about it. With lower/mid range optics, I'll take all the clarity, brightness and definition I can get.

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
I'm trying to decide between this scope and the 4-14x44.
I was looking at the SS in 20 and everyone said the mirage would make shooting unenjoyable.

Its better to have the extra magnification and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
its nice to have adjustment ...i have a falcon 4-14 with ml16 reticle. went shootin last weekend with a couple guys that have nightforce and schmidt n bender on their guns, we all switched rifles and checked each others gear out, and the falcon held its own...they were pretty surprised how clear it was and just how precisely it tracked. you probably can't take it off and beat someone down with it and expect it to hold zero like a nf, i'd still say you get more scope than what you pay for with it.

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
I payed 329.99 GBP (British Pound) and then some 4 delivery. It's not that much more, than a 4.5-18x56. Eye relief should be 88 mm at 25x they say, other than than that, no changes to pre prodution model. Turrets same, single tube same. Forgot to ask about Iluminated reticle and choices, Enhanced mil-dot and ML-16 currently.

I thought the pre production model was a 2 piece tube.

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
I would LOVE to see one with an IR. But I won't want to wait for it to come out. Rather put this one on, shoot out my barrel, then rebarrel and put a NF on it.

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
I have not had the need for IR........ever. My other rifle has a IR scope on it, and I have yet to use the IR. If its too dark to see the ret, its too dark to make the shot IMO. To each his own though.

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
Received news that my order should be ready for shipping by the end of the week. So hopefully they will not be delayed over here in US customs for long and if all goes as planned have them by the end of next week.

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
It's really no ones fault but the UK gov, as all we have been waiting on is getting them cleared for export to the US.

Re: Falcon 5.5-25x50 GTG.
I sure would like to hear from some of the people that have them, how do they compare to the pre-production model as far as knobs and glass are concerned.
