Ordered online when they were dropped to $599.
Thanks, that's a great price so I ordered one.

Is the 28 ounce weight spec accurate for these scopes? Are they really that heavy?

They are heavy. I'm only buying for a Rem 308 20" 5R and a tactical 20" 223AI to shoot mid-range mostly....both suppressed. Not sure I'd put it on a LW hunting rifle. I think there's better and lighter 30mm scopes for that application.

8 oz isn't going to make a difference. A mountain or backpack hunter can tell the difference. Fantastic scopes though!

How is the eyebox of this scope? The 3-12x is better than the 4.5-18x version, but still a bit finicky on 12x. I was hoping for a bit better. I'm looking at replacing mine with the DMR II. Going to call for details on a return.

Going to call for details on a return. The 3-12x is very easy to get behind, IME. The DMRII is a step in the wrong direction, if you ask me.

I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.
