New Falcon Menace 5.5-25x56 FFP

oh I think my 4.5x18x56 will be going on EE pretty quick. Id love a 5x25 FFP ! Im happy with my falcon for quality and have no problem spending some more to upgrade to another of their scopes. Allen gun works has given me excellent service in the past.

btw. you guys sell EGW 20moa bases for stevens 200 ?

Just Remington 700, Tikka and Savage right now. All of our EGW mounts are special order since we have them made to our own specs. We only stock them in the most common mounts since we have to order fairly large quantities.
 
Does FFP mean that you can range on any power ? Is there an easy conversion from MRAD to MOA ? Hey , i'm old and it's still inches , yards , miles and feet and miles per gallon not liters per 100 kilometers .

FFP means you can range at any power. It is the way to go.

Reference MRad to MOA....your missing the point of having a milrad reticle and adjustments. You fire a round, note in your scope that it missed 1 mil to the left. You apply a correction based on your reticle since both the reticle and the scope adjustments are the same.

On my S&B, one click equals 1/10 of the MilRad which is 1cm at 100m. Once you get yourself sorted and working in metric, you will find that there is little math do it but rather just moving the decimal point about. It is really easy...

So for me, I notice that my bullet is striking one mil to the left based on the reticle in the scope. No math needed, it is 10 clicks on my scope....regardless of the range. Since the scope and the adjustments are in the same angular measurements...it is easy. Now have a spotter with a milrad reticle in their spotting scope....now it is getting even easier...

Once you go milrad and get yourself sorted, you will wonder why you needed a calculator and tables when you worked in MOA.

MOA/MOA will be incorporated into one of the lines, not sure which one yet, but it won't happen until the Fall probably.

I received another update on the 5.5-25 today:

- definitely a one piece tube
- It will be offered in a 56mm and 50mm objective
- They will likely be available in May instead of April (they are incorporating some suggestions from dealers into the production run, so it might take an extra month)
- Pricing is still going to be around $500, likely a bit on the plus side.

We are very impressed with the progress so far on this. Falcon has sent test scopes out and has received a lot of feedback, which they are incorporating into the production model. We are still waiting for our test scope to arrive, but I am sure from reading some of the feedback that we won't have much to add. I will post some pics as soon as it gets here. Hopefully it will be nice enough out to take it out for a shoot and see how it performs.

Right now it looks like the first batch will be all MRAD turrets.

Oh for crying out loud. I just bought the 4-14 version. Someone will get a good deal in the EE.
