GRSC Scope

[deadwood83]

Nifty! Just a question, what's your version of affordable? I've seen people call $3600 light fixtures affordable. I'll have to watch both scopes closely! I really love my Meuller APV and if their 1-4x is comparable in price and quality my money might lie there. However the GRSC offering sounds really neat. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what affordable is

ETA: Any pics of the GRSC?

NYETI,
Here are some pictures of the scope and the scope reticle. I'll follow up with more information as soon as I can.

OK at that price I will take one soon! Where do I sign up at? I have been wanting a 1-4x scope for my carbine but at some of the prices I decided to hold off but now.....Im ready for one! Thanks for posting!

Grunt Out!

Oh Please be as good as advertised! That is a great optic for that price, you can count me in if it proves to be a solid and robust piece of equipment.

Keep it up!

Having shot one, I want one, too. This thing comes into its own on the 300 yard plus arena. It is so easy to both range and shoot without ever touching a single knob, and in a manner that should work well in the real world (using the head as the object to range).

Many folks have already started the whole "made in China" issue. Well, I know for a fact that Ed has tried to get this thing done by numerous U.S. companies and been met with 'not invented here" syndrome, or they just can't do them at a price point where average soldiers and cops can afford them. It has been a real battle. The company that is doing them for Ed is both established, and from what I have seen, responsive. The optical clarity on the prototype I shot is very impressive for the price.

Hopefully, some forward thinking dealers (that's a hint Grant) will jump on this thing early, and they can start making their way into the hands of the folks who can really use them.

Interesting, very interesting... in a good way.

I guess it looks like the Horseshoe is back then?

This is looking like it could be a really great deal, considering the next step up is the $720 Meopta.

[Logic]

I'll take one.

The specs are certainly interesting. I would venture that many of us just can't afford/justify the S&B offering, and that creates a huge opening in the optics market.

The reticle on this offering seems terribly busy. It would seem that a specialized optic like this wouldn't really need the offset ranging marks. They aren't distracting in the "daylight" pics, but when the reticle was lit, the sight picture was busy. I wonder how well one would be able to get a quick snap sight picture from the low ready. I'd like to be able to spend time with one before making a final judgement, but at this point, I have some reservations. I look forward to seeing more, though.
