Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta H-Series

[lash]

Any word on this H version? Been patiently waiting for well over a year since the rumors started. Just checking to see if anyone had any further info on this. If it wasn’t at shot show I’m guessing it’ll be another year.

See @koshkin’s post just two above yours. It answers your question.

It is coming. They are down to one last hurdle to deal with, so it shouldn't be too long.

I forgot about this thread, so I posted an update in a new one, sorry.

I’m surprised we still have no word on this unicorn. Anything your end @koshkin?

 

[koshkin]

Nothing beyond what I posted about a month ago.

Copy. Sorry to pester.
As an aside I just found your Youtube reviews. They're excellent, you should perhaps put up a thread about them so they get more awareness?

Thank you.

I should generally do some sort of a "recent developments" post while I am at it. I am planning to do more videos as I go along. Figuring out sound has been a bitch, but I think a couple of lapel microphones I got give me the best results so far.

Another new thing is that Guns & Ammo reached out and asked me to write a couple of pieces for their special edition magazines. The first one is already out at the newsstands and online: https://www.osgnewsstand.com/product/red-dot-2019

I am working on a couple more for the upcoming editions as well. This has sorta been a different experience, since I am not used to having a word budget. Another interesting thing is that they are not really limiting me in what I can say aside from not using bad language. This has not been the case when I talked to some print media people a decade or so ago (admittedly no the people I am talking to now). Effectively, the way it works with G&A at the moment is pretty simple: we get on the phone, agree on a topic, they give me a deadline and a word budget, then I go off and write it. I kinda like it and, so far, their editing has been extremely light handed. I'll keep you posted how it goes.

I think this is fantastic news ILya, I've always enjoyed reading your reviews and while red dots aren't my favorite type of scope I do like them for their purpose. I just ordered the magazine copy and look forward to getting it. On the TT Hunter front, any chance this is going to be mil/mil and will they eventually offer the Gen 3XR reticle in it? Since the TT315M doesn't have the Gen 3XR yet I'm assuming the Hunter certainly won't, but I can hope.

Thanks, Bill.

I doubt they will put Gen3 XR into the Hunter scope, but I would not be surprised if they add reticle and turret options as they go along. At first it will come out with the reticle they originally announced.

There is also a RImfire mag with my article on it that's on the newsstands and there are a few more coming:

Don't hold your breath. All this gunwriting stuff makes me effectively unemployable in California and mostly unemployable in most other places.

I better make this gun and optics thing work.

I did not grow up here and some of the trends I see have uncanny parallels to the place where I grew up.

Are rets and turrets the only differences between H and M?

I think they are waterproof to different depths, so the seals might be different, but I am not 100% sure. Turrets are the biggest difference

They are working on it, but they are not sure on exactly when.

10-4 I was hoping to stick with tangent but the wait and uncertainty is going to push me to an nx8 I believe.

Thank you!

I do not know if there is all that much uncertainty: they are doing lifecycle testing, but there is a wait.

It would be our pleasure to assist you with either one, please feel free to give us a call, 516-217-1000, to discuss it

It’s looking like a shot 2020 release for this fella.

If not there is always shot 2021

 

[gr8fuldoug]

They will probably have one at SHOT 2020 but I'm thinking we won't see units to deliver till Spring
