It looks like there are enough votes for a 2-7 to move ahead. Make it happen, Doug!
FC Problem is, in order to make this happen minimum order is 200-250 scopes. I have learned that everyone says they want something and then when it is made it is the wrong: Reticle tube length price etc It is impossible to make everyone happy, however, at SHOT this year I will discuss a 2-7x36 or 2-7x40 with a few mfg's and see if I can get something moving

I would love to have a meopta 2-7x36, fixed 6 or 4 with: weight around 12 oz, good eye relief, enough room for mounting on a std long action, and a #4 reticle. The weight of their offerings has been a no go for me

Meopta is making a bino/lrf unit for Leupold, under the L brand.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

A remake of the old Zeiss Conquest 2.5-8x32 and the 4x32 would be nice. With a low-profile elevation turret, zero-stop, capped windage, and 2MOA hashes on the horizontal wire. I'd be on that like stink on a monkey. X100!

Or better yet, just take the Meopro line and offer CDS-like dials. Keep it under 16 oz and they will sell!
A reliable dial option at comparable weight to the VX3 line would fly off shelves!

Has the shooting public become that disillusioned?

I,d buy 3 right now if they kept the weight under 12 oz. I waited for ever for the Leica that was promised a few years back and they never made it available in the US.
I was waiting in that same boat with ya – it's a shame Leica backed out on that one.

I'm just happy Doug was able to get me that Artemis 4x32 last year. What a great little optic.

👍
As a group they are good people.
However, those who believe they need 14XXXX to sight in at 100 or to shoot Deer out to 300 are the main reason the optics manufacturers give us the options they do. The sniper mentality runs strong.

I doubt this guy is carrying your idea of the perfect hunting scope....Get with it, or miss out on the celebration.... ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49031475723_3b62106cd0_z.jpg)

I know the last special order was a headache for you. After the manufacturer fixed the issue with the scope I can say it's my favorite scope and gets used more than any other I own. Thanks for doing that one.
