    Rumor from someone in the community is that it actually went to Sig, but that’s from TOS so who knows.

    That's such good news for NF, I buy their stuff because it's mostly bullet proof. I just bought their ATACR 5-25 F1 and I so desperately want their 1-8. Good stuff.

    That is what suspect as well. We are stocking up on both as demand is high, and they are good scopes. Some have said that the ATACR would have won hands down if Nightforce had adopted a SPP, which is really more appropriate, IMHO, for CQB rifle optics.

    Sig won the SFP optic contract, but the official award has not been announced yet.

    Currently saving for an ATACR. I wonder what the new reticle will look like.
    It is from the construction of underground FEMA camps. I can't say more because there a guy parked in front of house in an AMC Pacer. He is acting like he talking on the phone, but I know better.

    I have to sign off now & put my laptop in the microwave.

    Great news for NF and for our war fighters. The ATACR 1-8 is a phenomenal optic, best in class IMO. Glad our guys are getting the best.

    It’s now official. SIG won both the USSOCOM second focal plane contract AND the Army DMR optic contract, both with the Tango6 1-6.

    The contract optic and mount will both be commercially available as well. The red dot in the BDC reticle has a lockout feature between the settings which is pretty cool.
