I don't know how many of you are fans of the Pride Fowler Rapid Reticle scopes like I am, but in a recent discussion via email with their Vice Pres, he informed me that soon they are coming out with a new line of scopes, and the RR800 series is discontinued....
The new scopes generally follow the expensive mil-spec RR-900 series ($1900), but at a much lower cost. The new scopes, according to Mr. Nguyen, have better glass than the 800 series, 3-12X40, Illuminated reticle, rapid reticle and ranging (brackets subtend at 18") design..... All for $349-$399 retail! He had a sample in his hands as he wrote, and he said he was very pleased with it.This will be perfect for my M1A rig.
I was about to buy a RR800-2 but am glad I wrote to him! I'll give a thorough review of this low cost ballistic-reticle scope when I get my hands on one!
