New Optics line development - Need your input

[lawn gnome]

I can't complain about IOR.
I have two fixed 4x and two adjustable 1-4x and love them all.

Another vote for the fixed 10X something to compete against the SWFA.
Especially if its made by S&B at a decent price.

 

[beltfed]

People still use fixed power scopes? Lol
15 years ago called and it wants it's crappy Super Sniper fixed 10 back...

 

[Picatinny]

Clones of the Vortex Razor gen2 line with an emphasis on ffp, illuminated reticle 4.5x27 and 1.5x8 w/30mm tubes.
If these could be 30% less expensive - perfect (currently $3500 and $1000).
Thanks.

Hey CanAm,

Is this still in development?

Thanks

 

[docscoutjr]

If you could come even 80% close to the original Weaver T10 in 30mm tube that would be amazing!!!!!!!
Dreaming over...
Go 1-6x I LOVE LOVE LOVE a super clear 1-4x but would pay extra $$ for just that little bit extra.
3-9x42? I probably have sold 1000's of those key would be value vs. durability, vs, adjustment and then extra crap most hunters should/never consider

 

[sabatage]

fixed 3x prismatic, fixed 10x, 2-10x44 side focus, 5-25x56 side focus

 

[DaveMachine]

For the fixed 3.5 -
- A chevron reticle of some sort w/ BDC
- MIL adjustments
- Target turrets w/ or w/o turret locking
- Short/compact prismatic would be nice

 

[aakoksal]

I'm looking for 2 long range scopes... 5-27x30 sounds very attractive to me...

 

[PandaMan]

oh please for the love of all things covered in cosmoline consider using the german #1 reticle on at least one model!

 

[IBM]

fixed 10 mildot with side focus pls

 

[valtro12]

...

 

[Canadiankeeper]

Fixed power scopes. There's very very little out there right now. I'd love to have some more options in the fixed 4x and fixed 10x zone.

THIS! I currently use a Bushnell 10x fixed Mildot reticle with tactical turrets. Only because it was pretty much the only one on the market!

Not to mention cheaper to make, so you can spend more on glass.

 

[Canadiankeeper]

I'd love a 10x, mil turret with the IOR MP8 reticle...

Fixed 10x.

fixed 10 mildot with side focus pls

I see we have a winner.

I love my fixed power. Has great glass, solid turret contact, I know I don't have to baby it.

Not to mention shooting from 50-1000 with a 10x is no issues.

Another vote for fixed 10x mil/mil

Valtro 12's idea of having a ranging reticle as well as a mildot/milhash is a REALLY good one.

 

[bigplinker]

This.

This is an opportunity to make a product that doesn't currently exist, specifically wrt to the reticle. There are alot of great ideas in this thread, however IMO, all scope lines should have a fixed 10X mil/mil scope, but why not improve the reticle while we're at it. This is my idea:

Develop a mil dot(or TMR) reticle that has a ranging reticle built in like an Elcan, but that is not caliber specific. This will allow a person to make a range estimate, then apply the come-ups for their rifle/ammo/caliber. There is not much like this on the market that I've seen. It would be like an improved SWFA.

For the scope:
-ranging ability built into the reticle
-Fixed 10X
-Mil-Mil
-30 mm or 34 mm tube
-numerical denotations on the mil reticle scale

Here's what the reticle might look like:

At least a 5x zoom range, preferrably 6x... fixed power scopes are readily available for those that want to go old school.

Quality internals (tracking, holding zero, returning to zero) should be paramount, in other words don't have anything to do with ior crap.

Matching turrets to reticle is a no-brainer.

Reticles.. something similar to moar or g3.. make horus reticles an option for those that want them.

Ffp, 34mm tube.

10mil/20moa per rotation

Zero stop.. tooless if possible.

Locking turrets. I could take them or leave them

Illumination.

 

[NGD]

It would be great if you could bring the production or at least assembly to Canada. Canadian jobs, Canadian quality, Canadian product.

Please don't clutter up the centre of the crosshairs, an opened up centre with a 1/2 MOA dot like the vortex CQMR reticle would appeal to me, not a fan of thick crosshairs or busy centres.
