Can't believe they ham strung that thing with a SFP reticle.

And priced the model with all the cool features at $4k?
Hard pass

I agree

Such a bummer.

I for one am glad to see this version. Not all of us can use 1FFP because of eye problems and surgeries. A second focal plane scope works much better for me and i am sure others. I am NOT glad to see that price tag....

Priced itself outta the market before it hit the market!!

Why? You’re not raining down tons of shots from a box magazine off a fake barricade. It’s a hunting scope hopefully it’s ONE shot. Hunting spot and stalk and being mobile means you should be leaving the scope on its lowest power seating. So you can make a quick shot on an animal you may have spooked. You want to see the reticle easily. Also this scope has a duplex reticle. Being ffp would serve no purpose.


It’s a cool scope. But 4 grand?! U mm no!

I agree.

I walked away from SFP scopes for hunting .when I walked away from Leupolds Flippy erectors 30 years ago.
I wouldn't own a SFF reticle on a deer rifle.
I have no use for them .
Different strokes for different folks.

I understand this viewpoint. There’s certainly still a place for SFP. I could work with it. What’s not workable tho, is that price tag and reticle. Where’s the wind holds?

Just turn the reticle on. Imo, lit reticles largely opened FFP scopes up to hunting service.

Yes

And the search for the perfect hunting scope continues .......

What happens when the scope was left on and the battery is dead? And you forgot to bring a battery? Those fancy subtensions that match at all powers aren’t useable at the lowest setting anyways because the reticle is too fine at that power and you don’t need them for holdover because if you did need that you would dial up the scope.

It’s not a PRS match. It’s ONE shot

They should feel very proud of themselves they've come up with a polished turd.

Yes sir.
I still like the 1.5-6x42 Zenith Flash Dot for a all arounder.

Goofy design with turret so close to the objective bell. Limits mounting and feng shui.

that's weird, my swfa 3-9 and lrhs don't have a lit reticle and they are better then the standard leupold wife duplex at 3x.

then again par for the course. regurgitating rubbish.

Just like a Nightforce NX8.
