I think Koshkin will hold off on spending $1000++ on scopes for review for a little bit in order to remain married.

I watched the video on their website.
This doesn't really matter regarding their products. But, I can't believe anyone would run a lathe without eye protection............stupid, very stupid

I hope they send one for review,  a few astronomical telescopes with front surface mirrors claim 99% light transmission , it would be and interesting review.

I think they should provide Koshkin with a free sample optic to review if they ever want to sell one.

That's a nice thought, but something tells me that scope companies are not falling over themselves to send evaluation samples to random internet personalities.

Good point, Doug.

Next time I decide to review a new scope, I am taking you with me to walk a little ahead of me and make proper introductions....

Oh Mighty One,
I contacted Mr. Burrows, he said that if you will call him, he is willing to allow you, the Dark Lord of Optics, to do a review of an Ellis Optics scope for the SWFA Optics Talk Forum. He said call him and you two can work out the details. Ellis Optics

All right, I called Mr Burrows a little earlier today and, as a Star Trek fan would say, made contact.  He was about to eat lunch, so he will call me back when he is back at the office.

In the meantime, I have gotten a hold of a couple of people who have had their hands on Ellis pre-production scopes (and whose opinion I value) and they said that this company is definitely worth looking at and the scopes have a lot of potential.

I'll keep you posted as this develops.

I contacted Ryan again today and he is going to send us a dealer price list.  He is a very down to earth guy and in my opinion could be very successful if he ever decided to put more effort in the retail end of his operation.

As Koshkin can test the optical quality of a scope, I can test the durability, usability, and field value of the scope - so send me a sample too.  I'll beat the ever-loving hell outta the thing and let you know what I think.

I just want to say "thank you". I believe this scope deserves a fair evaluation and review. It is "Made in America", too.

Wow, that picture kind of looks like my NcStar when I turn the illuminated reticle on...

Does that mean I will begin to seek out better and better optics, foregoing cheaper, offbrands for quality glass?? Then I am truly doomed.
