Rifle Scopes Revised March 5x-40x and other March News for Shot Show

[James A. Kelbly]

Got news at Shot Show that the revised 5x40x56mm will be available in May. The revision is to .1 mil click and 10 mil per revolution as many shooters have requested.

The new 3x24x52mm FFP scope will be shipping first of May to us. If you would like to order,do so now as we have already sold a good number of them already. I cannot garuantee delivery of first shipment, but if not in first shipment would be in June at latest. The eyebox was improved just by making the scope a 52mm objective.

All variable scopes will be coming with Flip covers instead of leather covers in the February shipment and beyond. The covers are very nice and fold flat to scope body.

Reticles, nothing new at this point.

Deon is also working on a smart phone adapter to be able to take picture or video thru your March scope. I had the prototype at Shot Show and got alot of inquiries. This will sell for 100.00 to 120.00 dollars and is pretty cool to use. No sale date on this product yet.

For 2015, nothing in the works, I would like to see Deon upgrade current scopes, so if you have any suggestions let us know.

As far as upgrades to current scopes I would like to see a new illumination system used, similar to that of Steiner with a rotating dial and an off position between each setting. I think the current setup where you have to choose between daytime or lowlight illumination is a bit basic and could be negated using a similar system to Steiner.

Great news Jim. The 5-40 is now open to many more shooters who have shyed away for that very reason. Thanks you for your efforts in making this happen.

What is the requirement when placing the order for 3-24? Deposit? Full payment? I currently have the 3-24, and I'm looking forward to the new generation with improved eyebox.

New reticles would be my only wish for, somthing with holdovers such as an ebr 2, g2, etc.

Non-illuminated ebr2 reticle and a daytime bright dot in the 1-8 and I'll get at least one.

Put the reticle on a diet. Need to have .05 mil dimensions on center dot and main stadia. These changes would make a good scope a great scope.

reticle on the later scopes went on a diet. While not p4fine small, much smaller compared to the early scopes (which I own 2 of).

ETA, yes I know scope is canted.

 

[Rthur]

Is that the 3-24x42? Do you have the dimensions of that version?

Yes it is, the book that came with the scope still lists the dot as being .1 mil. Sure looks smaller to me.

 

[Rthur]

Mine is .1 also. Would sure like to see .05 used. This may hurt the low power use but I don't get below 8-10x very often.

The book is marked that way, but it is definitely smaller. Compare the to pictures.
