[THEIS]

Hi,

Any of the big optics retailers onboard here or anyone else have direct information on this upcoming NF product?

First time I hear of it.

I assume it is their version of the TARAC device.

It is new for 2020. No details are out yet. NF is closed from today - January 6th so I do not think their site will update with new for 2020 items until at least when they return

A nice direct mount for their ATACRs would be pretty sweet. Little competition in the market ?

 

[koshkin]

I think TacomHQ has a patent on the TARAC, but they have been willing to license it out.

I suppose we will see during SHOT.

Depending on how specific the patent is, could make all the difference. Either way, I’m interested.

I'd take a serous look at one for sure.

If it works with other brands of optics, I might be interested.

Interesting. Competition for the Charlie Tarac or different design? As ELR continues to gain popularity I'm sure we'll start seeing more and more. March is coming out with the new Genesis 4-40x52 with 86 mils of total travel and 72 mils or elevation alone. I'd be curious to see how "normal" scopes with Charlie Tarac's perform compared to the Genesis and if there's any advantage to one over the other.

Under $1k MSRP?!

Holy shit...

 

[Steel head]

WOW
If it works well it’s gonna be awesome!

I think of "optical wedge" as being a critter I would put behind a clipon, to add collimation to the clipon.
What other uses are there for an "optical wedge" ??

ADJUSTABLE MOUNT less 1/2 price 2x range

Should start seeing these in the wild soon, the obvious question will be how well they compare to the Charlie Tarac

Hi,

Looks like this just might get ugly....

I wonder what the height to center will be.... I would guess it would cater to 34mm tube scopes, rifles with NV bridges/rails, and 1.5" height mounts.

They are just throwing a fit.... This isn't any different than any other product made in the shooting industry that share design similarities... Pistols, rifles, chassis, scopes, actions, etc all have 100 companies making variants of similar designs. As long as there is no patent infringement then it's good healthy capitalistic competition.

More like the Alpha or Bravo Tarac in Design, but the 100 MOA version hits Charlie Tarac range territory.

Anyone get a chance to use the Wedge?

I haven't used my 100MOA version, as my ELR gun is still being built. I've used a borrowed 50MOA version, and it works as advertised.

These guys shoot with one quite a bit to 3000+ yards. He even built an adapter to screw it on like a sunshade for some of his rigs:
