I thought I saw a NF online with 6x as low power… I think mpa or GAP had a video of a new rifle with the nx6 on

Rifle Scopes New for 2023 Optics

Id take a 2-12 or 3-18 nx6 all day! Perfect hunting optic to distances further than most should shoot!
I suppose we'll find out in a couple days. If true, hopefully they don't pull a Leupold.
A Nightforce NX6 FFP 2-12x42 with 30mm tube, around 22ish ounces and an illuminated DMX reticle could really be enticing. If objective is 32mm then I'd like to see it under 20 ounces.
Even a NX8 1.5-12x42 with above specs would be exciting.
No Nightforce can’t make something like that and tempt me into buying a Nightforce again. They’ll Leupold it.
Like make it in SFP, with the MOAR reticle in it for “hunting”. I hope I’m wrong.
They'll do a near perfect 22oz 2-12 that is SFP only, then do a 3-18 that is FFP but weighs 31oz and is MOAR/MIL-R and no illuminated option.
I like your NX8 idea. Scrap my NX6. NX8 1.5-12x42 FFP with illumination would be the penultimate hunting scope.
Yes, it could always be better, but at the time, it would be the best.
I think just offering an updated reticle in the 42mm nxs would be a great start.
I'm fine with the 5mil turrets. And 30mm tube. Don't want it to get much heavier than it's existing weight at 20oz.
If I can't have everything, I think this would be the most easiest, most attainable path forward.
Something like the milxt but with slightly fewer wind holds on the tree.

So that would make the March-FX 1.5-15X42 FFP or Dual Reticle, both with illumination, the ultimate hunting scope. And it can be ordered now.

I’d love to see a 2-12x42 and 3-18x44, both ffp, with FC-DMX reticle, zero stop elevation and capped windage, illuminated reticle, under 22 and 25 oz, 30mm tubes, for under $2k respectively. A 1.5-9x32 would be cool as hell too.

I am very excited about this scope and can't wait to get it on a rifle!!!So that would make the March-FX 1.5-15X42 FFP or Dual Reticle, both with illumination, the ultimate hunting scope. And it can be ordered now.
How do you figure? It’s projected to be the same weight as an LRHS. For me, this scope is everything I hoped it wouldn’t be. To their credit, March stayed on brand. I’m sure for some use cases this would be pretty exciting.So that would make the March-FX 1.5-15X42 FFP or Dual Reticle, both with illumination, the ultimate hunting scope. And it can be ordered now.
A 2-8x36 with a 30mm tube could be so useful.
Just got the Schmidt&Bender newsletter:

Well, the original post about the "penultimate" scope was:
"NX8 1.5-12x42 FFP with illumination would be the penultimate hunting scope."
I don't see LRHS mentioned in there, instead ChrisAU is talking about a riflescope made from unobtanium and filled with unicorn farts as being the penultimate hunting scope.
I was just pointing out that the March-FX, which exists and can be ordered, has a little more magnification range and is available with dual reticles compared to his pipe dream.
But to your question, I am not familiar with LRHS, but I think that's some kind of Bushnell. Their website only shows one LRHS, the 4.5-18X44 LRHS2. It's 27.5 ounces to the March-FX 1.5-15X42 24 ounces

Zero Compromise Optic 2023 ZC527 MPCT2X and 10 MIL Turrets
05/19/23: 10 MIL and MPCT2X are starting to ship! Get in line for the pre-order here!!! 05/08/23: And the first ZC527 10MIL NLE have arrived!!! Extremely impressed with this option with it's wider spacing and heavier clicks. I personally picked the ZC527 10MIL NLE with the MPCT2X to compare...

To go from 15 to 10mil per rev requires an entirely new thread pitch. I doubt they’d ever convert a 15 to a 10
By the way, penultimate doesn’t mean what you think it means 
Finally ZCO prices come downBrand new ZCO 527 for sale! Coming to px
The SLx 1-10 is kind of in between the old SLx and the new SLx. The turrets on the 1-10 are definitely from the older SLx. It is a decent scope. My buddy has it and I’ve shot it a ton of times.So, is the new SLx 1-10x28 SFP 34mm with the ACSS GRIFFIN M10S MIL reticle one of the new ones, or old ones? I had never seen it on their website until recently when I bought mine, which leads me to believe new revamped line… But not sure?
Yeah, for some reason there are people who think penultimate means the best or the top. It just means the "one before last." This is one step ahead of antepenultimate, but now we are getting into antediluvial thinking and we mustn't do that.By the way, penultimate doesn’t mean what you think it means
I had someone correct me last year because I used the very same term - interesting how some words we think we understand the meaning but sometimes mean different or the opposite of what we're thinking. How many of us are old enough to remember the cultural trend years ago to use the word "bad" to actually mean something really good. "Dude, that is a "bad" scope you got there..."
Here's a new one from us being unveiled at SHOT.

Oooh, a 15x with reticle - NICE! Will be a great option for budget minded folks, but at the price point it's not going to have great glass, would love to see a version of this using your ED Prime glass for about $1k more (hint hint).Here's a new one from us being unveiled at SHOT.

It's based on the Forge 15x56 with ED. That bino is the foundation. So if you've seen those, you've seen what the optics on this one looks like. We just added some things to it.
Novel idea and execution. Do these have both eye diopter adjustments? Something like this with a lrf built in would be BAD! @Glassaholic
I have no idea the level of glass in the Forge line. I see guys as local matches who carry an extra scope with a dual faced pic rail attached for milling targets pre-stage. I wish the kilo 10k would have had a 0.2 subtension etched reticle in them.
Yup, dual diopter adjustments. The reticle also rotates so you'll be able to level it totally plumb no matter the IPD hinge angle.Novel idea and execution. Do these have both eye diopter adjustments? Something like this with a lrf built in would be BAD! @Glassaholic
Have to ask the Bushy Boys-if you don’t feel the need to support the LRHS/LRTS market segment because of lack of apparent interest or sales opportunity, but do feel the demand for what is actually a likely more limited market in the PRS world-help me understand the logic. The LRHS/TS product line ticked a lot of boxes for glass, tracking and durability, left some on the table for weight and length, and was a solid product that could do with some refinement that would make it quite competitive in what now/today appears to be an emerging and very busy LPVO/MPVO market. Perhaps you were just ahead of your time in this segment. Unless you’ve got a few rabbits in your hat for SHOT, why essentially abandon this market? Please don’t get me wrong, am a solid Bushnell supporter, with at least 10 or more on hand and in use-just would like to see you advance an already solid concept forward with some further enhancement/development. All ears.

Looks like Bushnell got a 15x56 set of binos out there with a reticle. My prayers have finally been answered, and for a decent price too. I couldn't use the Steiner M1050R with glasses, and their FOV was pretty narrow too. This checks a whole lot of boxes. I hope to see some other sellers do this too.
The LRTS/LRHS thing has been discussed online and with the team here. From the previous sales we're not convinced the market's big enough to devote the R&D into bringing back something in the same configuration, at least not exactly.
There's a cult following for those scopes, and we hear people. The previous sales of the LRHS/LRTS and the fact that a replacement made in Japan (In-house rule is Elite Tactical is Japanese COO) is going to have a significantly higher cost than what they used to sell for is what is making us leery of bringing it back. If it did come back it'd have to be a clean-sheet design, and we're talking a long time before that would even be announced if it was green-lit. With the success of the Match Pro ED scope, we're also looking at what can be done in that price segment. We'd have to make sure it made sense and wasn't some jack of all trades, master of none optic.

Thanks for reply-guess I'm one of those cult guys, and also appreciate my DMR2 Pro and DMR3 on large frame AR’s and my bolt guns. Will look forward to your further developments, though hopeful the market isn’t too crowded when it finally comes around.
New from Zero Compromise Optic 2023
We will be taking Pre-Orders on these soon, the expected lead times are TBD :) 10 Mil Turret Many competition shooters have been asking us for a redesigned turret to only provide 10 Mils per turn on the elevation and we are now ready to release this turret option on our best-selling ZCO 5-...
www.snipershide.com
So 10 mil turrets on ZCO, a TT 7-35, a MK5 2-10 with shitty reticle options, and a Chinese 15x bino with a reticle is all we got this year?
Shot Show is probably just opening it's first official day and it's only 9:11 am lol
market is pretty saturated at this point, which is great for us consumers
almost all glass is all really good
almost all turrets track perfect
everyone has 5+ rets that are personal preference
all have great waranty
wont be anything ground breaking until price competitive electronic integration
but the SB 10-60 seems pretty cool...
Can you add a laser rangefinger and AB ballistics to this pleaaaaaaase?
A re-engineered DMR-4 weighing 28oz and over 30ft FOV at 3.5 with proportional FOV increase @ 21x would be excellent. All other features staying the same. Just talking out loud
We have ideas for the future. We'll do our best to execute.
