Rifle Scopes **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

[JBW3]

Hey Guys and Gals,
Just wanted to let you know that we have made a prototype 37mm objective 3.2-17X TPAL for testing. So far the general opinion of everyone that has looked through it absolutely loves it. The exit pupil is a little smaller than the 44mm, but is still very managable to get the sight picture.
When in production the overall length will be about 1.5" shorter than what you see in the pictures.
Stay tuned for more......

The ocular is bigger than the objective!

EREK is still my favorite elevation turret.

Very cool.

And I like the upper too, need to invest in a side charger.

John,

That's a cute little sucker. Love the logo on the objective also. Is that a 30mm tube?

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

35mm tube.

Of course everyone that has looked through it so far loves it. It's a USO. What's not to love?

That will certainly make a nice low profile fit for the scope to the gun.

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

Looks like a slick scope for AR10 type rifles.

+1. Just wrapping up an SPR build, feel free to send me one with a 30mm tube, haha! I'd be happy to review it and send it back afterwards...

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

Very nice setup! I've been recommending folks the 37mm for such applications in the ERGO, but that 37mm TPal is sweet!!

Its still 2.18mm exit pupil, highly usable!!

See you guys are really jealous of what us leftys have other than the brass flying across our face.

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

I have been sayin that needs to happen for years. Now time to sell all of my others for those.

When may they be ordered?



You hit the nail with that one!

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

Glad the pics show it on a REPR as that is where mine would be going.

It look great, plus plenty of ring height options to get the perfect cheek weld with such a small objective

This is Arnold's rifle at the office, he was OK with the ring height, but it was a little low for me.

We should be putting these into production iin the next couple weeks, ie- making more of the objective housing. Feel free to order it now, no extra charge.

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

I really am not trying to be snide, but I don't understand the allure of the 37mm vs the 44mm objective on a scope with a top mag of 17x. What is the primary motivation to go smaller? Weight? Aesthetics? Is the actual diameter of the objective detrimental? Any explanation would be appreciated.

That is including lit reticle.


The two main reasons for the decreased diameter is weight and being able to mount it lower on monolithic rail systems like shown.

Got it. I guess the gas piston systems usually have rails at a relatively higher plane than direct-impingement rifles. Makes sense.

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

Will these be avaiable with the Ergo bell? I like the idea of the 17x range in a smaller 10x scope tube. The Ergo is more feasable when your scope isn't 2' long, just sayin...

Ummm, the tube is the same whether 10X or 3.2-17, your choice of 30, 34 or 35mm. 37mm Ergos have been around for a bit.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can all and order a 3.2-17X37 Ergo any time you like-the T-Pal just hasn't been available in 37mm.

The 1.8-10x is 4.5" shorter than the 3.2-17. Jeff Fertal emailed me tonight the latter cannot be crammed into the former. I was dreaming out loud for a shorter lighter 3.2-17 ergo. I will "settle" for a t-pal.

So, what is the target weight?

Very nice. It would be absolutely perfect for my new OBR.

Is there a target production release?

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

A certain USO dealer called in to ask about an order for me and was told yesterday "months". I like a couple of weeks better.

 

[JBW3]

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

Go ahead and place your order, there is nothing about this objective that will hold up your build.

Thank you.

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

All parts for the 37mm objective will be back from anodizing next week, ready to build!

Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

Played with mine last weekend. It's going on a 308 Howa when Short Action Customs finishes the action. With .735" Farrell rings it sits almost on top of the Farrell rail. I'll post pics once it on my Howa. Looking forward to playing with it this winter.

This is the 11mil Erek MTC with RDP mil reticle.
