DNT OPTICS - SHOT SHOW Launch - some great new products coming!!!!

[YbotBC]

similar to the current ~$700 price? Or the MSRP I'm seeing some places of $900?

I don't know if I want to wait that long. But I also don't want to buy an older model if the new model is going to be better for the same price.

Yes, around the CA$680 - $700 price range.

No, not downmarket - just competing with everything out there head-on. Dollar for dollar their products would be better than the competition.

A bold statement
Athlon has several levels of offerings, where the DNT fits in will need to be judged

I’m not going to get into a brand bashing argument. I will tell you straight up that at the exact same price, there aren’t other products that will beat the Arken or the DNT scopes. Look at what several industry experts have said about these products. People that have years of experience including some well respected ex snipers. Anyway, buy what your budget allows and your taste dictates.

Any update on what the reticle will be on the new DNT 5-25?

TOR - same as on the DNT 7-35 with 0.2 MRAD graduations.

 

[YbotBC]

We don’t yet but expect it to be similar in price to the Arken EP5. But as with the DNT 7-35x56, it will have enhancements not found on the EP5, like better (more modern) reticle which is fully illuminated, supplied built in throw lever and some cosmetic enhancements.

ETA is still not known, but expecting them most probably in April with some luck.

Curious about this too.

We're hoping (fingers crossed) to see them early June. There's an incoming shipment end of each month, and they're NOT yet ready for end of April shipment - so hoping for them to leave China end of May, to arrive here in early June.

I have them IN STOCK, ready to ship. And it's nicer scope all around compared to the Arken EP5 Gen 2.

The hunting ones as well?

I was referring to the DNT 7-35x55 in that reply. Which scope are you referring to?

 

[ACandian]

What is the law regarding thermal and IR scopes in Canada ?

Not sure about Sask, but they are illegal in British Columbia.

I believe they are named Hound...

The Hound scopes are not in production yet. Probably in June/July. They cannot yet give me a definite ETA
