Like I previously mentioned, its the exact same scope they had 20 years ago. Disclaimer, I don't know the exact date but I know it was a longgg time ago. I remember looking at them. I was hopeful with the mention of the capped windage and slightly longer eye relief that updates had been made. Nope. The only update is the price tag.
It may be. I was under the belief (and still hope) that this will be made with latest glass, coatings, etc. I didn't expect the physical dimensions to change and I'm ok with that but don't want to be expecting one thing and receive another. The windage not being capped was strike one, but not a huge issue. The eye relief being shortened by .4" is strike two and it hurts. I'm somewhat skeptical on the "Weight: 476 g./16.79 ounces" now that the eye relief has been shortened....if the weight ends up at 610 grams/21+ oz's it's another strike.
I hope S&B will clarify things quickly. It's a bit costly to be misled on a project like this.
