Rifle Scopes What scopes are you hoping for at Shot Show 2018?

I'm still holding out for a Tangent Theta 5-25 with an MR4 reticle. The MR4 is absolutely a perfect reticle IMHO. If I could get that with great optics and amazing turrets, I think I'd be willing to spend an amount that would risk divorce to get it.
Something like this would be good for precision rimfire as well. I want to put a scope with a tree reticle and something around 12x max magnification on my Ruger 10/22, but they're all enormous looking on a tiny rimfire rifle. Considering the Athlon Talos BTR 4-14 for now, but I would pay more for a little better glass quality and build quality if I could get it in the same size.

Awesome!!! If you or anyone else can share the length of you know it that would be great as well. I’m sure that’s not released yet but just asking. I think I will have to wait on that.
I echo the comments on a lighter, lower profile turrets, with usable matching turrets/ reticle.
Specifically like the Leupold vx2, or 3 line using a 1 inch tube with a moa or mil reticle. The mark AR line seems close, it's just limited on configurations. I've been reading about the new vx- freedom line that looks promising, but it looks like it lacks a mil mil option.

I think in the meantime the cat is out the bag. Previously I had been speaking to one of the Management in Kahles Austria and they told me the 3-18x50 Would be launched at the shot show. I wasn't sure if it was still under wraps or not.
I am looking forward to have a peek through one at the IWA show in Nurnberg Germany. I have a 624i and a 3-20x50 ultra short. The 50 seems much handier.

My K624i was returned to me today. I had it in for a service and had the reticle changed from Mil3 (my scope was from 2011) to MSR. I was looking at SKMr3 but was worried about the how much lights up when illuminated especially for dusk hunting and chose the MSR. Very happy with the change.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but now that the EoTech vudu 5-25 super short and the Kahles 3-18 have been leaked, the main things I’d be looking for (aside from reports on those 2) are:
Most importantly!!!!!!!
1A) NF new Mil-c tree reticle. Heard they were updating the Mil-C to a tree style. Could be HUGE for them.
1) Something to compete with the NF 7-35 in terms of adjustment range and similar mag, but not $4k+. Maybe something like 5-40x56 from vortex or Kahles with 120 moa of adjustment, 14” long, 10yd parallax,
2) more RF binos. At the middle price segment I.e. $1500~ I’m really interested in the vortex fury binos, but would like to see a little more competition.
3) more companies creating something similar to the vortex l-tec turrets for zeroing. I think that’s the best, most useful method out currently.

As far as power range goes yes but doesn’t have exposed elevation turret or (like you said) mil options.
After some thought, a Vortex Razor AMG 3-15x50 with the same feature set as the 6-24x would be amazing. Drop the weight down to the low 20oz range, shorten it up a bit, and it would be a perfect hunting scope!
ETA: It would also make an amazing gas gun scope, too!

The caps disappeared off of mine a long time ago. It gets dialed just like any of my other scopes with exposed turrets.
An AMG 3-15x50 would definitely be something I'd be interested in as well! Is Vortex introducing anything new this year at SHOT?

New Mil-C reticle isn't ready for prime time yet. Hopefully this year still...but could be this time next year?

THIS!!! Even if they have to drop it to a 42 or 44mm objective to get the weight down to low 20's, or make it 4-16 to keep it in the 4x mag range as 6-24. I really hope they make a second AMG in a mid power range. Doesn't look like its coming this year, unfortunately. There's always next year though.....
Dang! Well ok I guess I’ll have to wait. Any projection on what it might look like? Thanks!
A scopecoat is an easy fix for that and a little bit of grip tape on the ocular piece.
A better windage turret on the atacr f1 would be nice. Find my self not feeling the clicks good enough. Starting to hold for wind more often is my solution.
A shv 5-25 f1 model would come in handy for something more budget priced, so long as it had a zero stop.
