There's a whole bunch of people buying/have bought LRP S3's. They're great scopes. Yeah, Zeiss could have gone a little thinner on the reticle, but it's not a bad reticle design. It's just as basic as the G3's.The G3 is extremely popular in PRS, no one is going to be buying a LRP S3... Just like no one is buying one now. IMHO.
Price won't change purchasing decisions.
Next weekend will be the first major match for the 2024 PRS season, over 200+ shooters from around the country. I can probably guess with complete accuracy who will be shooting a ZeissLRP S3... Single digits or close to zero.There's a whole bunch of people buying/have bought LRP S3's. They're great scopes.

And yeah, an $800 price jump at once will change A LOT of people's purchasing decisions. They are not worth anywhere near the old $4,000 List price, and damn-sure ain't worth the [ZCO & TT territory] new $4,800 List price. If I had to pick between the TT and the G3, I'm going to buy the TT everyday. Same with ZCO.
You do realize that not everything revolves around shooting comps, right? Most people (with a brain) couldn't give less of a shit about comp shooters. Most are at least smart enough to know that most of those guys are sponsored heavily. Therefore, what they shoot isn't necessarily the best thing out there...It's just the best thing their sponsor offers. Or, they pick the best thing from the company with the best CS and warranty, so if their scope shits-out, they can easily get a new one with minimal turn-around time and headache.Next weekend will be the first major match for the 2024 PRS season, over 200+ shooters from around the country.

Just my observation having traveled and shot all over the country the last several years.
99% of comp shooters are NOT sponsored. People buy their own gear with their own money.You do realize that not everything revolves around shooting comps, right?

Imagine thinking more than a handful of guys at a match are sponsored with free optics. LMFAO bruh.You do realize that not everything revolves around shooting comps, right?

Let’s be honest, an $800 increase in MSRP from Vortex probably translates to a $500 increase in purchase price at most. No one is paying MSRP.And yeah, an $800 price jump at once will change A LOT of people's purchasing decisions.

As in yesterday?Nightforce just upped with msrp by a similar %, guess this is going to happen with everything.

You think all those liberty optic deals finally caught up? They were being winch good guys and honoring his prices and ensuring people got their orders.
Kinda reminds me of the stimulus checks. We’re paying for them now.
Bidenomics in action... "Build Back Better"Everything is going up.
Still not worth $3,500 street price. Not worth $3K street price. $2,500 is about where that scope lands, which is where the upper-end of LOW scopes range. Anything over $2,500 and it better have SCHOTT glass at least, even if it's built in Japan. But $3K or more, it better be built by someone who uses the words "Ja" and "Nein", and has a questionable heritage from 1933-1945...Let’s be honest, an $800 increase in MSRP from Vortex probably translates to a $500 increase in purchase price at most.

I think it's more stores got a heads-up notice of the price increases, and got greedy and went ahead and jacked-up the prices on their current stock they bought for cheaper, and are now offering them at the NEW street price, so when they get more in, people aren't shocked after SHOT.Lots of this happening, Bushnell increased the price of the Match Pro ED by almost 10%, and looks like they might have dropped the cheaper Match pro 6-24x from the lineup. You can find it on their webpage listed as "in store only" but it's not under their normal riflescope search/categories if you look at say target scopes etc..
It also seems like Bushnell and Vortex really must have cracked down on stores with low prices. 2-3 months ago you could find tons of stores selling 5-25 PST 2's EBR 7C MRADs for ~$800 and now every one of them is locked into the same ~$1099 price. There were also several stores selling the Match Pro ED's at ~$600, and now ever one of them is listed at MRSP of $749.
"Putin's Price Hike". ROFLMFAO. Never gets old....Bidenomics in action... "Build Back Better"
We're all just begging to know how many pennies we can save in the heart-stopping decision between which of the Chinese lifetime-warrantied optics is best.All this talk of Vortex price increases is making us all turn into Scopeye...

Bro Vortex has gone insane w these G3 prices lol. WTAF are they considering as competition for this optic lol
Japan’s track record during that stretch is pretty sketchy. And, I’d wager you could find analogs for those words in Japanese. But, the point is well taken. I really like Vortex, but above $3k street price I’m looking elsewhere…Still not worth $3,500 street price. Not worth $3K street price. $2,500 is about where that scope lands, which is where the upper-end of LOW scopes range.

All the liberals hating and blaming Russia and Putin is the most pathetic thing ever. Also, the fact anyone could ever side with Ukraine over Russia given all the information that has been presented since this thing started, is also retarded. Don't worry, I also hate Israel and Palestine, because they're both crooked, disgusting, and evil, too, so... I'm pretty much going to piss off everyone."Putin's Price Hike". ROFLMFAO. Never gets old....
Him constantly on his knees voluntarily blowing Athlon and China, and then them tracking his posts on here, and rolling him over and fucking him like a $2.00 whore on those warranty claims was truly a masterful thing to watch...We're all just begging to know how many pennies we can save in the heart-stopping decision between which of the Chinese lifetime-warrantied optics is best.
Gents,
Gen3 prices have not increased. If we ever have price increases they will almost always happen on Jan 1. I'd have to double check, but I don't think we raised any actual pricing this year on riflescopes.
Hopefully that helps clear things up.
Best Regards
Scott

So, will I still be able to continue to buy the black G3's at EuroOptic ( @Euro.Connor ) for $2449 throughout 2024?Gents,

I’ll just keep being poor with my dmr3’s, mk5’s and mk4’s
Leupold is like a pretty fat girl.Leupold.... Gross like being seen with an arken
I'm aware of the MSRP jump and I promise msrp doesn't affect dealer pricing or map.Scott, the MSRP did bump on the vortex website from $3999 to $4799, and expert voice is already reflecting the new higher price as the le/mil/vet discount is calculated as a percentage back from MSRP. The new price at expert voice is almost $500 higher than it was a few days ago...
Sure would be nice if the street price stays the same... I already have 3 (2 from your awesome help during the Liberty Optics fiasco, 1 from Euro Optic on Black Friday) and I may get a 4th...
I thought the black G3's were a one-time run (in like August) of scopes they did for EuroOptic and for whatever reason they just haven't sold them all yet.So, will I still be able to continue to buy the black G3's at EuroOptic ( @Euro.Connor ) for $2449 throughout 2024?
Well, I hope they keep making them for Euro, and running them at the same price. Those are a big hit, and it seems most older and traditional folks prefer the black over the rusty brown color. The thing is, I don't think most folks even know they exist. If they did, I bet they'd be selling like hotcakes.

Can we call vortex directly and bypass expert voice ?I'm aware of the MSRP jump and I promise msrp doesn't affect dealer pricing or map.
Mk4hd with the mil discount though…Leupold.... Gross like being seen with an arken
