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

Wooooooooooowwwwwww...I have to admit my infatuation with optics just grew a bit...this gets to be a disease after awhile!

 

[John Y Cannuck]

OK Santa WTF? This is what I really wanted!

What reticles are available?

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.

This would be perfect on the modern hunter

 

[Botts]

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?

 

[JayCarver]

Would like to know what the weight was?

 

[BeaverMeat]

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

 

[r34skyline]

hopefully they will offer it with nice reticles.

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!
