Does anyone know the aprox length and weight?
I wonder if capped turrets could be an option.

It would be nice on the CMR-W version. I think I'd want regular turrets on the TMR version though. I'd really like it if they had the Mark 8 style turrets.Originally Posted by Jsop

The VXR I have has what I think of as target turrets, which on this I think are kind of pointless. On the 1-8 they seem to make a bit more sense. Not sure on the 1-6x.

Understandable, which is why I would desire turrets like the Mark 8 since you have the ability to quickly adjust them if necessary, but are unable to get whacked out of alignment with normal use. As a rule I generally hate uncapped turrets.

Put the H58 in that puppy and we are ready to rock!

Too good to be true, there has to be a catch.... there's always a catch!!!
Seems like every time we get excited for something like this we get the rug pulled out from under us with some kind of missing feature or bad reticles etc....or a price point just shy of the national debt....
I was giving the USO 1-4 and the Swaro z6i a hard look. If they put that reticle in I'd definitely go for this!!!!!!!

I'm seeing some prices coming out at or around $1950 as well for certain versions - these might be the CMR-W .308 versions with the larger H8 reticle, with a mount. I can hope.
Even if the final price ends up a bit north of $1500, I think the CQBSS type turrets with a smartly chosen BDC, a bright dot that has some decent battery life (I do like that it has off positions in between each of the 7 brightness settings).
Looks like the 34mm tube may not actually translate into a really large enough objective lens, unless the initial specs are a typo, it may actually be a 20mm obj.
I'm also curious about the durability of the hinge and how watertight that illumination area is after opening it up.
Looks like cattails will still work, and the rear part of the housing staying static is great for running flip-up covers.
I just think the illumination is the only thing I'm waiting to really see - living in the desert means I get some pretty bright days, and if the reticle isn't great at the lowest magnification, then that would probably herd me to the older 1.1-4x Short Dot.
