Rifle Scopes New optic announcement from major player

[ccoker]

FYI
Tomorrow there will be a new optic out that I think will get your attention.

 

[hk dave]

... no hints at all?

 

[Pusher591]

Come on man, hint on what size and niche it's gonna fill?

If your talking about the Nightcorce 2.5-10x42 your a day late. There are 2 threads on it already. Hopefully it's not and it's another new scope coming out.

 

[ccoker]

Ok
Think AR15

 

[ccoker]

Not NIghtForce

 

[ccoker]

I will let it out at 12:01AM

 

[Pusher591]

Sweet, I'll hold you to it at 12:01

High end or low end scope?

Let's say high end is US Optics, S&B, NF and the low end is SWFA, Vortex, and Burris

 

[hk dave]

New ACOG maybe?

 

[Powerstrokediesel]

S&B 1-8X24 I hope

[Bevan]

can't you just tell us now, I have a flight to catch in the morning.

 

[ccoker]

nope, NDA in place
sorry bro

 

[wegner426]

I would imagine the Non disclosure agreement is for 12:01 AM Eastern time. So we should see it in 34 minutes?????

 

[ccoker]

I have been working on the press release, taking the data and pictures from multiple docs.
It is set to publish at 00:01 CST
I had a long mountain bike ride after working all day... this dude is crashing

 

[ccoker]

OK.. one bit of info... Tri...

 

[Easy_E]

Trijicon brand?

 

[Bevan]

Goddamn I hope it's not a piece of shit.

 

[hk dave]

I had a feeling it would be Trijicon.

 

[Flying Goose]

Sweet, I'll hold you to it at 12:01

High end or low end scope?

Let's say high end is US Optics, S&B, NF and the low end is SWFA, Vortex, and Burris

wow I know what you mean by this because we wouldn't be that interested in what Nikon is putting out but its hard to believe that $1000-2500 is considered low end! I guess someday I'll get one of those money trees that you all have!

 

[diverdon]

Well? It's 12:02, where is it?

 

[phm14]

Well? It's 12:02, where is it?

He said central. I'm in Texas, too & its 10:59. I'm w you though, Don. It's freakin' 12:01 somewhere...

 

[diverdon]

If purchasing from Optics planet use coupon code efb5rc for 5% Redfield Counterstrike

 

[PatrickChewing]

I hope that's not it!

 

[VKC]

Hope you don't mean Redfield TGR

 

[Redman797]

Your not talking about the tri power acog are yah?

 

[rubar01]

It's 00:01 where and what is it!

 

[Bevan]

Trijicon VCOG


I'd guess it's this

 

[hk dave]

New ACOG maybe?

Meh...

I wil be excited if it ends up having a field of view like the ACOG.

PRESS RELEASE: TRIJICON VCOG (variable powered 1-6 ACOG) | Tactical Gun Review

 

[VJJPunisher]

Looks ncstar'ish

 

[HD1911]

MSRP $2,270?!? I'll pass!!! And I'm with VJJ on the looks lol!

 

[JeffLebowski]

Talk about underwhelming and 2 years late.

 

[SomeOtherGuy]

Looks ncstar'ish

Now that you mention it, there is an unfortunate resemblance in the styling.

 

[stinkyDrunk]

Function trumps form.

It's interesting. Does it perform well at 1x on close targets? Reticle visible in bright sun? If yes, may be a winner.

 

[GUNNER10]

i'll pass.

 

[xXlojackXx]

Take off the labels and it looks like a Big 5 special.......Barska?

 

[ccoker]

I will be checking it out in person this weekend at the Houston NRA show

I am sure they did their homework

I will be getting one soon to review.

 

[Papa Zero Three]

Talk about underwhelming and 2 years late.

My feelings too. I thought it was going to be real news, the things you can learn at SHOT show.

 

[pawprint2]

$2,270 MSRP, I believe they'll sell well. How to do it? Get a few of their dealers to post long reviews on how they are the greatest scope ever used, get a few reviewers to say the same. How: buy some ads. Have dealers announce, "We finally got a few more on the way, everyone we had from our first shipment was sold in 24hours, order now so you're not disappointed etc. Before long, a group of "I really wanted the best stuff" guys will start buying, and then the $2,270 MSRP won't seem out of line.
