That is interesting, especially with Blaser USA seeming to have made an impact here. I know that Minox is going to introduce a new reticle for the ZP5 3-15 at IWA in Germany come next March, I'm assuming Blaser will have a big presence their as well. Still hoping Blaser and Minox will have a love child in the form of an Infinity style 4-20x58 and/or 2.8-20x50 scope with ZP5 turrets and a mil hash reticle... I know, unlikely, but I can still hope, heck I could probably live with the 8 mil turret on the Infinity if they'd just offer a better reticle with .5/.2 mrad on the horizontal for wind holds.
The Kahles 1-6 is arguably one of the best out there, I don't think you'll regret your purchase regardless of what comes out. After watching ILya's video on the Blaser 1-7x28 I am very intrigued with the way they incorporated their red dotDamn, just to think I bought another kahles 1-6. Haha no matter as such is life
Thanks ILya ?
You and I have a different understanding of the words "scope snob." To me that refers to someone who only considers the most expensive scopes. When you dismiss the March 3-24X52 saying that it's not in your price range (ie, far too expensive ), you paint yourself as the antithesis of a "scope snob."
Crap. High energy ionizing radiation as a fuel source is going to be a marketing and logistical nightmare.
The fact that March is deviating from their usual 8x magnification for FFP scopes should say something. Last year March really made an effort to understand the US Market and wanted to create a scope specific to PRS/NRL style shooting, this scope is their answer to that. I am very excited to see this scope and see if they resolved the DOF/Parallax issues (of the 3-24x52) as well as improved the eyebox forgiveness and improved resolution/contrast with the High Master glass system. We already have some amazing 5-25 and 3-15 range scopes but not many scopes transcend those ranges, I believe only the Schmidt 3-27 and Hensoldt 3-26 do (and one could argue for the March 3-24), but with the wide angle eyepiece used in the 4.5-28, I'm hoping this scope may be comparable to many 4x scopes in FOV at the low end but with the added benefit of going up to 28x at the top. Being very short and light, this could even go toe to toe with some of the alpha ultra shorts, and having just reviewed several alpha class ultra shorts I am anxious to see this scope in its final form.
I have carried that spotter in my backpack for 2 years and it is amazing , you can take great videos and pic’s using a phoneskope and your cell phone !
That's good to know, maybe we can talk about it in more detail sometime. I believe Kowa makes a phone adapter for their spotter, I've played with the SkopedVision PhoneSkope before and did not have a good experience with it - image was distorted and difficult to get centered, etc. so I sent it back.
No problem just let me know. I also passed your information along to CMO and you should be hearing from Master Guns Garcia .
The Minox spotter appealed to me for this very reason, was tempted to grab one during the 50% off but I think the Kowa 55 is a little better than the Minox unit...
