Cap the windage and get more eye relief and I'm in. As it is, I'm out.
I am sorry this is not the right fit for you. In order to cap the windage and give more ER the scope would be more expensive to make and there is a point where it just not pay to have the build done. I am sure the folks who participate in this offering will be very happy and satisfied with this great scope
Makes perfect sense of course. However, and this is my opinion only, the current feature set/specs/price point are way outside the market sweet spot. How do you say, "Cancel the whole project." in German?
Tough crowd....grin....
Doug's great to pursue this. S&B's inconsistency on details shouldn't be tied to him.
S&B has tripped up on specs they provided, which removed pro's and added con's. Doug mentioned it would cost a bit more to produce with those changes. I'd guess the cost would be related completely to redesign/engineering/production change, not materials, as capping windage is a very small thing and likely cheaper to produce in the long run (if enough were produced)....increasing eye relief I can't speak to. I think S&B just doesn't want to change from the previous design. From ctsmith and prairie goat it seems those changes would move two more scopes.
I'm "in for a penny, in for a pound"...and hoping the end result will be a great scope and not an expensive disappointment. There's only one way to find out for sure.
