Won't know till we get more details, or someone spills them, from the above it sounds like it's lighter so that's a win for guys not wanting a 4lb optic. Could just be filling out the lineup, they have been trying to give away Razor Gen II 3-18's for almost a year now, and recently the 4.5-27's appear to be getting closed out some stores. So this might be filling a void for the Gen II's going away (total speculation). Looks to have the same turret/style as the 6-36 so it's not going to be cheap
I've often been confused of the popularity of say the 3-18 optics that are 95% of the price and size/weight of their 5-25, 4.7-27 counterparts etc. Now if it's 20% lighter, and cheaper sure I can see it fitting a use case. But I also don't get why guys put a huge mag optic on their bolt guns but then put a 3-18 on their 18lb precision AR's. The Razor Gen II 3-18 was a perfect example, they have been giving them away for $1100 or less now for months. It's not a bad scope but why buy a 3-18x when the 4.5-27x is the same size/weight/cost. You gotta
really love 3-4.5x to give up 10x on the top end in the same package.
Now if the Gen II 4.5-27 does go away, and this 4-24 really is 30% lighter and smaller package than the 6-36, that makes a lot more sense to distance it from the 6-36 more than the 3-18 ever did from the 4.5-27
