Sell the company off again? Tangent Theta has never been sold, so far as I'm aware.
No, they are not.
Basically the MSR is being looked at very hard, and it is by far and above the most requested reticle for these scopes. Personally, I like the GenIIXR better, but that is a matter of preference. There will be other reticles added to the lineup, but it is very doubtful it will happen this year. If I had to speculate, I'd say maybe this time next year... but that is pure speculation.
They were in the middle of producing a new scope. That ship sailed before Premier was purchased. When Premier was acquired, they took what they liked from that design, and threw away the rest. This scope, is not a Premier Heritage. Point in fact, this scope, is better than I anticipated the production models would be! Tangent Theta as a company, is not Premier, or anything close to it. This has been pointed out many times, and it won't stop being true regardless of how many times people without the facts say otherwise. I know that's not what you're doing, as you're just asking questions, right? If you'd like to give me a call sometime, I can bring you up to speed on the facts. Or, continue asking questions here... I'm fine with either.
Optronika is an opto-mechanical design firm. Minox is clearly licensing premier tech from TT, which was likely developed in part or totally by Optronika in the first place. Take a look at every steiner tactical scope (including their new one) and tell me if you don't see some similarities to other scope designs.
Sure, different companies buy the rights to the design, and then have parts made, and the parts show up and are assembled in various places... but most of this stuff comes from the same 4-5 companies in the world.

The scope design world is a LOT smaller than most people realize. A LOT smaller. The business relationships behind the scenes of all the different companies are kept hidden in most instances. Once you break through that barrier, you learn a tremendous amount about just how few riflescope design shops there are in the entire world. Scopes from X company, that are seen to be major competitors to Y company... rolling off the same exact assembly lines. It's pretty funny actually.
I really don't care about much of that. I care if my rifle scope works, and I care if my customers rifle scopes work! Beyond that, it's all fluff and completely inconsequential. So, if we could, lets not turn this into yet another thread discussing the companies that are NOT Tangent Theta (there are plenty of those threads already)... and lets focus on what we've got in front of us, which is a TT525P!
I see. Tangent Theta is one heck of a stable company. Think of how stable you need to be, to operate a business attempting to make the best rifle scope in the world... for 2+ years, with no positive cash flow. Doesn't get much more stable than that! TT will be there for its customers, or die trying.
No, it does not tunnel. GenIIXR and GenIIMildot are currently the only reticles available in the TT scopes. The illumination works when you need it, but is not "daylight visible", and is night vision compatible.
Pretty much.Greg, is it safe to assume you were out of the office the rest of the day?
$4250, and based on what I've seen today... worth every penny.
Now you got me drooling!!!
Give a call anytime!
Makes a wonderful Christmas present. Anybody???
The problem for me as I see it is, after selling enough of my guns to pay for it I won't have anything to mount it on.
Hello.......
... and of those, only 2 really had a clue and had FFP reticles with turrets to match. I think it's awesome with so many companies finally learning how to make a scope.
