Today was the "Media Day at the Range"

Most of use are "recovering" in our own special way. I will be posting updates throughout the week as long as the WiFi here at the hotel holds out.

The actual show starts tomorrow.

That is the "multiplier" of your magnification range.
an 8x mag erector will give you 8x magnification, 1-8x mag, or 2-16x mag, etc.

Thanks. Or in layman's terms the Mark 6 is a x6 magnification scope, and the Mark 8 is an x8 magnification scope.

Re: S.H.O.T. Show 2012 Optics Update by SWFA, Inc.

Anyone else notice some of the new Leupy's are listed as 34mm and some as 35mm tubes??

Seems odd, but maybe they needed that extra mm to pack something in.

Will make it a ring headache for them though.

OK Tell CFII to quote me a price. Looks like me ripping the engineers at Trijicon when the first 5-20 came out and telling them what was needed did some good. They told me it would take three years concept to production. Now you got my interest up.


I think Trijicon should send me a sample to test --- LOL

You mean TARS right? Not, Severe acute respiratory syndrome.
Now I can finally say something is heavier than my Premier 3-15X50...47oz that is close to a 33% increase in weight compared to the Premier! Must be one brute son of a B. The weight really doesn't bother me if this scope turns out to be indestructible.

I think the company that owns premier may be working with trijicon... same scope covers, knobs don't to far resemble them, Magnification ring similar....

Edit: holy crap what idiot put the battery replacement on the bottom of the optic.

Re: S.H.O.T. Show 2012 Optics Update by SWFA, Inc.

Those pictures where taken by someone who does not know anything about the product. I am pretty sure 99.8% that the battery compartment is in the parallax knob, the bottom cover does not appear to be USER level access also it is way to small for a CR2032 Battery.

Also note how they took a picture of the windage knob and mistakenly called it the Parallax.

hope your right. Upon closer inspection the turret block area on the tube reminds me of the USO w/ TPALS... it reminds me if several optic companies had a gangbang.

 

[zinny]

Re: S.H.O.T. Show 2012 Optics Update by SWFA, Inc.

clicking on the "Aircraft-Grade Hard-Anodized Aluminum" link shows a picture of presumably the parallax knob with a slit centered on top of it. Im pretty sure that's the battery compartment cap, which can be should be able to be unscrewed with any small coin.

edit: they definitely screwed up with the pics, the parallax link displays the windage knob......

Re: S.H.O.T. Show 2012 Optics Update by SWFA, Inc.

seems the magnification setting is out of sight once behind the scope.

I'm with you, I would like to hear some feedback on the Ill-BRT reticle in the 6-24x50 FFP Elite. Looks like a nice upgrade from the standard mil-dots.

I don't get it... MOA? Capped Turrets?

If they just took their existing Viper PST 1-4x mil based scope (with its nice exposed CRS turrets) and made it FFP, they would have a real winner. The fact that its SPF is the only reason I haven't bought one of these already.

Had the SARS on my mind from playing with the 1.75MOA dot it had.

There was also a battery powered Acog in the booth that has an extremely bright illumination system.

Re: S.H.O.T. Show 2012 Optics Update by SWFA, Inc.

If you guys are bringing back some cool demo stuff for samplelist the Mafia wants first peek

Im having OT withdrawals already I had to come here to get intel to deciede on my next scope from SWFA

The TARS Trijicon sounds pretty cool but out of my price range at $3500. dam the bad luck, but I still love the other Trijicon models. And I had my new 3-9x42 Mil Quad Super Sniper on the range today 12 degrees fresh snow - had the range to myself
