they don't have an affordable 1x6 Carbine scope.


Isn't a 6mm objective kind of small?

1x6x24
http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-HD-1-6x24-Tactical-30mm-Riflescope-P53845.aspx

It is one grand. Ouch.
In my mind this niche is wide open. I know nothing of optics manufacturing but why are good 1x4's half that price?

If somebody came out with an affordable rugged 1x6x24 with forgiving eyebox and various reticle options. And cranky knobs that repeat like SWFA, and did I mention forgiving eye-box? I would be all over that. And something long enough to help with mounting on a Rem-700 long action etc. That would be perfection. 30-Mm tube or better. YOu bet.

Yes,I can put the Leupold on,but I don't like using extension rings.


I have a Leupold 2.5-8 on a 416 Rigby CZ and the rings just fit before the bell and ocular. Its actually pretty fun to send that 410gr'r down to 300 yards with not too crazy of a drop.
But, I hear ya and mounting length will certainly play into any scope like that. Also, we just added our dimensions and mounting lengths to the website as well.

Had one of those,but I had a Weaver 2.5x on it with IIRC Talleys QD on it. The Weaver was their new 2.5x,had it on the .416 and a "little" .375 H&H. Wish I kept that scope. Do have an older Weaver 2.5x that is destined for a big bore.


Have a Leupold 1-4x on a .375 H&H and on my varmint rifle.....

Good luck with this company and if you ever get a fixed power scope on the market I would be interested in a 2.5x, 4x or a 6x with your T-Plex.

Ken,

You sure don't mind the recoil. Haven't had a chance to shoot a 460 weatherby. Shot a 416 weatherby and that had a little more snap to it than I imagined. Makes me love my Rigby even more.

You can venture all you want. Words and symbols mean things. If one wants to communicate, one should learn to communicate so that everyone knows what's being said. If he posted I want a 6X24 does he mean a 6X with a 24mm objective? It sure would look that way to me.

So, when you see 3x9 you believe it's 3X with a 9mm objective?

GMAFB...that is just dumb.

When I see this kind of communicating and acceptance I'm reminded of Rush's oft used phrase, "The dumbing down of America." If someone posts, "My last optics is a 7-35 is he talking about a scope or a binocular?" Words and symbols mean things.

Did your parents have any kids that lived

Symbols do mean something.

But anyone with a 3rd grade education knows when you're talking rifle scopes the first 2 numbers are always the magnification range.

Do you have a 7mm-35mm then?


There is a common parlance in optics...apparently your planet doesn't have such

Boy howdie. This is peak season for PD in both finishing and hunting categories for different timelines. Love what I do and wouldn't change it for anything. The outdoor industry is a passion turned into career.
