Rifle Scopes New IOR F Class scope...

[digit]

Just got the details:
9-36x56
Center lighting system - 12 step dimmer
Focus 7m to infinity
Click value 1/8 moa
Reticle MOA FFP
Elevation 100MOA
Windage 50MOA
Weight 1200g

From the picture it looks to have a 40mm tube and is similar to the Terminator model - ie it has IOR's new collar parallax adjustment

Wow that is heavy. 1200g is 42.3oz, which is way more than a NF 12-42 BR (36oz), Sightron 10-50 (29oz), or Sightron 8-32 (24oz).

Any idea on cost?

Not enough if they are making a serious bid for F-Class or LR BR.

Essentially useless on flat/square KD ranges during daylight hours.

Not sure of the point of super-close focus ability... closest sanctioned targets are 300yds.

Yay.

*That* should be interesting to see if they pull it off. I have my doubts, but more power to 'em.

Very nice.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Windage 50MOA</div></div>

Not sure why they go gangbusters on the elevation and then skimp on the windage. Even squeakin' that out to 60 would be an improvement. Not a lot of ranges have enough wind to make even a .308 need 20 moa @ 1000, but when you need it, you need it. Makes getting zeroed *and* mechanically centered a little less fussy.

NF NXS tend to be a bit on the heavy side... and this is even more so, with less magnification - not a great combination of selling points.

I am continually impressed with my current 9-36 for its' non F-class duties-and this spec sheet doesn't seem to have the feature set that would make me buy it over the others.

Now if they offered a fixed 36x(or higher)x56mm on a 40mm tube in a competitive weight...I would be excited.

Only place I disagree is on the FFP part, don't need it or want it. A SFP fine X-dot or something like my NP2-DD is the best answer for F class.
