This is S&Bs biggest marketed new product for 2015

They boast it as the first riflescope with more than 96% total light transmission

Main Features:
Greater than 96% Light Transmission
Main tube diameter of 34mm
Posicon Turrets for lockable bullet drop compensation
All parts anodized aluminum
FFP and SFP Versions

MSRP – $2400 for FFP, and $2500 for SFP

It is a beautiful scope to look through. Super clear, reticle is really crisp. It is a S&B after all.

This scope may be display and promo for now. I picked up the S&B catalog at the show and it does not show up in it . The pics say " Prototyp" on the scope.

38 mil of adjustments is pretty freaking sweet too.

That would get you to well over a mile with no elevation in your base.

Is 2.5-10 going to be the only mag available in the polar line up?

I can't use my Butler Creek lens caps on it! Not worth the money! My Leupold is made in 'Merica! And it doesn't bend over and sh!t

FFP, capped turrets, illuminated L7 reticle, 2.5-10x50. Basically a German hunting scope. Ordered from Wolverine, it'll be here in approximately 12 weeks, $2200. I put a non refundable $400 deposit.

I can't wait! Way beyond stoked!
