If the manufacturer was listening, what realistic thing would you change about your favorite optic?

If it hasn’t already been mentioned, locking diopter focus ring.

Include standard accessories like lens caps and sunshades specially if paying over 3k. Non illuminationated models for people that don't need it and can possibly save a lil on the cost.

I agree especially with the accessories comment. F7

I have an ACME machine 1-8 FFP on the AR. I wish the reticle started at the center dot instead of two and a half. The website shows the MOA reticle but it skipps a litte also.

1-8x28mm First Focal Plane 34mm Elite Rifle Scope TR-MIL Reticle

This optic is like newer styles of LPVO, or low powered variable optic, but its a bit different in the aspect that it is a FFP scope, or First Focal Plane. ...

It was cheap, and it works.

Non-illuminated I feel might be a trap for the manufacturer though. most of them design the reticle assembly with the illumination built in these days, so taking it out isn't as simple as older scopes. plus it leads to SKU bloat. So a fractional cost savings for the consumer, but a lot of extra overhead in manufacturing.

Standard accessories s a good one though, and I'll even throw another thing in: Standardized threads on Objective and Ocular for a given outer diameter. That way more accessories like sunshades, ARDs, hard lens caps, filters, clip-on mounts, etc would be compatible across a wide range of optics instead of very model-specific.

Yea that makes sense on the illumination.

Stop making reticles where the lines are interrupted.

Yeah, I am talking to you Zeiss and Nightforce.

The only acceptable place where a reticle line can be interrupted is the center of the reticle.

I'd give up a lot of shit to get companies to build scopes that would hold zero when knocked around a little bit. Nightforce seems to have it figured out. I had a scope I loved from a popular company...it wouldn't fucking hold zero or stay together. When the flagship scope has these problems, it is a design issue. Hire some better engineers. I absolutely loved everything else about the scope but did not like sending it north 10+ times in 4 years.

Update the glass
Get rid of ocular rotation with magnification
Eliminate the tunneling
Price the same or under as ZCO

You could dominate the market as long as you remain reliable

No on the pricing… let the poor breathe.

I'd like a none lite SFP 2x12x40 w/a adjustable objective(1/4moa min but 1/2 would be OK) that has the crt cross hair (1/10 moa max width )in the top 1/3rd of the glass. The erector system w/no tool lockable knobs that have only 20moa total, up & wind. I want a tree ret that allows for max up & wind, in the field of view. (Not one that stops 1/2way like some)It needs to weigh 16oz or less. A tube size a mimium od 30mm or larger. Need a power dedent that allows doubling of the ret.
