Alright folks, let's imagine that there is an optics manufacturer out there that can be convinced to make a truly modern fixed power 10x scope. If I get enough of a headcount here, I will approach a couple of manufacturers with this question.
Let's go with the following features:
- exposed elevation turret
- ZeroStop
- covered windage turret
- modern tree reticle (let's say I can sketch something reasonably inoffensive up for that)
- illuminated center dot
- 30mm or 34mm tube
- side focus
- price right at $1k
I did not see a way to add more than question to the poll, so we will have to do this long form, so to speak.
Here are the questions I would like to see answered. Treat them as multiple choice:
1) Will you buy it. Simple Yes or No.
2) If Yes, what objective diameter would you want? 42mm, 50mm, 56mm, N/A
3) Will you buy it if it is made in China? Yes or No
4) Will you buy it if it is made in the Phillipines? Yes or No
5) Will you buy it if it is made in Japan? Yes or No
6) Will you buy it if it is made in the US? Yes or No
7) Will you buy it if it is made in Europe? Yes or No
8) Are you considering US Optic BFX10? Yes or No
8a) If No, Would you consider it if they had JPVCR reticle available?

Isn’t Schmidt still making a fixed 10? If they’d update their reticle, that one would rate some consideration.
