What announcement would make you less homicidal?
Those of us in the eastern time zone tend to think the world revolves around...
Point taken ?!

You really think they’ll drop the info at midnight or wait until normal person hours in the morning sometime?
Its 5:50pm on the 18th where I am, I've been waiting for hours.
I'm not really a Vortex guy (nothing wrong with their stuff, just not my thing), so the new scope doesn't really excite me either way.
It’s what most of us expected. And I agree it’s a dud. A 3-18 AMG would be my vote.
So not as exciting as many of us had hoped, sure. But having a matching reticle across all platforms is now an option, so I see this as an absolute win (low level, but I’ll take it)!
BUT! @Scott_at_Vortex am I seeing things correctly that ALL of the reticle, including the holdover dots and numbers, is illuminated in the EBR-7C for the PST2s? I was going to pick up one of the Midway/EuroOptic Specials w/ the EBR-2D, but if all of the holdovers are illuminated now, I may spring for the EBR-7C option. Thanks!

WOW, just WOW Talk about over promise and under deliver.
what did they over promise exactly?
the vortex rep in this thread even hinted that it wouldn't be a new scope just a small update to a current line. not sure why everyone is so surprised and disappointed.
Idk why people are so disappointed? I think it's great the new reticle is offered. Allows you to build a 22 or 223 trainer and save money on a PST2 and practice with the same reticle in your match rifle. I think it was a great move on their part.
Now for 2020 let's see a Gen 3 razor that's up to 30-35x with schmidt level glass at a street price around $2500 bucks. Keep the same 10 mil locking turrets. And release a new simple .2 hold reticle similar to the mil-c. Talk about a winning combo.

Not sure I understand why people are so disappointed. Vortex nipped this one in the bud fairly early.

It would have been nice to have an upgrade to the AMG or a gen III
But they never said what it was. Everyone here pumped it up.
Vortex listens to us and it will come, just have to wait a little longer.
So save those pennys

Link to "over promise"? I must have missed it.WOW, just WOW Talk about over promise and under deliver.
I don’t think they over promised, they promised almost nothing. Though it is a let down for a blacked out image on the ad to be of a scope that already exists and the release being the reticle inside the scope.
I can’t remember, did they do a similar ad for the reticle updates in the razor line?

They eluded to a new scope posting an outline of an entire scope without showing the actual picture. If they were only updating the Reticle it could have been advertised differently IMHO
The rep did come in early on in this thread and confirm it WAS NOT a new scope just updates to existing Reticle options so can’t be too upset with that.

I'm not surprised but a little disappointed as well that it wasnt a new reticle. I wish they would take the 2D, add a center dot and replace the .5 mil marks with .2s to keep the center cleaner. I dont need a number at each mil, every 2 is enough. The 7c is close but seems a little to distracting when looking for trace but I have only looked thru them but no opportunity to have shot them. I like the cleanliness of the 2cs I've been using.
I do like that they are keeping the same reticles across the different lines.

Man, there's some serious whining going on in this thread...smh...
It was pretty obvious what it was as soon as the Vortex rep spoke up.
@wade2big Yep. But yet the whining erupted upon release. Smh...sounds a lot like some whiney, bitchy antifa mob at times by some around here..
