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.

Any update on the DNT 5-25?

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.

 

[aroundpg]

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...

 

[Shooting Warehouse]

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

any timelines or pricing on the new 650r?.

any timelines or pricing on the new 650r?.

Unfortunately, as it's not yet been released, we don't have pricing. It seems they're a bit behind with the launch of a few of their new products.

With DNT, the MOMENT we get new products and pricing released, I will always update the threads on here.

There are several new products in the pipeline over the next 1-3 months....
* Thermnight TNC650R
* The One 5-25x56 riflescope
* Hound 2-12x42 and 3-18x50 Riflescopes
* Hound Thermal Monoculars

Hopefully we get them ALL before the hunting season comes around.

Cheers

Robbie

Gotcha - I speak directly to the owner of DNT Optics in Texas and China, and to the Canadian distributors. I've actually used the pre-production prototype, so it's coming, but like I said, sometime over the next 1-3 months. 3 months from now is early November. They want to launch it before winter.

Anyway, just the info I have from the "horse's mouth".

good to hear. any guess on price points vs 635? also I assume this will all get hit with tariffs now?

Wild guess, I'd say 10% more than the 635. And NO, we won't have tariffs on DNT - mainly because NONE of our DNT units come via the USA - we get them straight from the factory in China by Air Freight. And Canada has no duty on Chinese imports in this sector at least.
