New Vortex 1-4x

[Alaskapopo]

Looks like a great optic. Vortex keeps popping up on my radar.

It seems that there are increasingly good options in the variable magnification genre and this should make an excellent DMR optic where the BDC and zero-stops bring good things to the table.

Given it's a second focal plane can I presume that the reticle holds are accurate at the 4x setting?

My biggest request in these types of optics is a quick ranging reticle. Mil-ranging works, but something like an ACOG reticle is far faster.

I agree with you. A ACOG style reticle would be great. Is the reticle illuminated and if so is it daylight visible. (Never mind I just looked at the sight it says daylight visible)

I trust you will have the scopes at the SHOT show next week

I am very anxious to check them out

Your binoculars in particular are getting great feedback on the Opticstalk forum which is sponsored by SWFA.com

All on this one.

+1 BIG THUMBS UP on External Elev./Wind. Adj. I hate capped adj. knobs.

I'd rather have & not need then need & not have.

I totally disagree. We need target turrents to range in three gun. You need to have some way to dial in for 400 and 600 yard targets.

I bow to your experience Pat, I didn't know you can encounter targets at 400-600 yards in three-gun. are these targets at known distances?

is 4 power enough magnification at those distances?

[SPDGG]

When will these be available for purchase?

Also, is this a True 1x mag.?

Thanks & Have a great one,
