So, that's the hope for the Tikka/Sako announcement as well, I'm assuming.

hopefully some new binoculars sharp enough for birders but tough enough for hunters and small yet steady enough for both......

I would think this has to be the goal of at least a couple of alpha glass makers, and to make one smaller and lighter than a short fence post.

We shall see!!


If this happens maybe the price on the Z-5's will come down some...... but I doubt it.

That's the word on the street! Rumor has it a new rimfire from Sako, a rimfire offered from Tikka along with updates on the T3! It should be interesting and of course then waiting to see which products Beretta is going to bring here!

Didn't Swaro and Zeiss do that once already to the tune of ~$3k?

An 8x32 EL LRF would be sweet!

Leica owns the patent for that. Perger Porro.

I don't think they would want to do that. IMO the perger porro is a step backwards, it has more green tint, and is fuzzier around the edges.

I found this on another site, the new Swarovski offering is a new riflescope with a 8X zoom range.

To compete with offerings from Zeiss and S&B.

That would not qualify as being landmark grin

I bet it is their version of a burris eliminator


But that would not be a new landmark frown

The Burris Eliminator is Burris's version of the Swarovski LRS.

The new model is a 8X zoom scope, and that means it
goes 8X from low to highest zoom.

Zeiss has the Victory V8 series, 1-8x30, 1.8-14x50.

Not your everyday scope. A very small market but they
need to keep up with the others.
