Apparently it's tactical, wonder what the price might be?

Thats nice its bigger than mine :-)
I bet its expensiv mind

It will be expensive and it will have features we've never seen before. See the lever on the elevation turret. They are promising something we've never ever seen before on a scope = it won't be cheap.

Speculatin around $3600 in the states.

This looks to me to be a direct attack on the S&B hold on government contracts.
I would expect the next real jump forward in military optics to be moving in the direction of integrated electronics to assist with final firing solutions. Sure electronics fail but that will not stop them appearing sooner than later,

USD3600 is USO territory and I know which one I would prefer, also will it even get here or simply be lumped within ITAR so adding even more to the price if indeed it ever gets here.

Too rich for my blood!

Read a great novel about a scope with that capbility. Built in GPS, laser range finding, local weather etc. Went quite well for the shooter until it broke :lol:

Looks very nice.

I have a 8-32x56 NXS which I like a lot.

I wonder if the improvements are just tacticool cosmetics or if its actually a real improvement ?
