I just found the new 6x42 listed on the website are these in stock or what can you tell us. I was really glad to see the prototype when I was in Texas a couple months ago.
6x42 will give us a 7mm exit eye pupil so it will be brighter in low light than the 10 x models which have a 4.2mm exit eye pupil, and still have reliable tactical knobs in 1/4 moa clicls with lots of adjustment range. A fixed 6x will be low enough power to get on target fairly close where anything stronger is tough to use under 100 yds and at the same time it should be useable well past 600 yds.
I need one of these

Im sure the field of view will be wider than is currently listed: 13 ft at 100 yds as the 10x version is 13 ft at 100 yds. My other 6x42 has a 17.3 ft at 100 yd field of view. At 50 yds a scope that is 17.3 at 100 would be half or 8.65 ft wide field of view. It would also be 4.325 at 25 yds where a 10x version would only be 6.5 ft wide at 50 yds or 3.25 ft wide at 25. While this doesnt sound like a lot at 50 yds having the 8.65 ft wide field of view compared to one only 6.5 for me makes a huge difference in being able to get the scope pointed at a moving target. Ive had 3-9 variables and had deer pop up at 50 yds and not been able to get on them at 9x where a quick adjustment down to 6x allowed me to get on the deer and shoot it. Even more important to both tactical users and hunters is the difference in how bright the 6x will be compared to its 10x brother when used in low light. I think this will prove to be ideal for both a combat optic for the M16 platform and a hunting optic for coyotes and other critters in low light. The 6x has plenty of power for a .223 / 5.56mm cartridge as when the bullet is getting to the distance that it runs out of power the scope is also stretched to its limits - say about 600 yds give or take a couple hundred depending on the shooter. For law enforcement who tend to make 80 yd or closer shots it should work well although the variable would probably meet their needs better. One should also bear in mind that custom engraved knobs in several styles are available for this scope from Kenton Industries and a speed dial style will be very fast to adjust for trajectory compensation. http://www.kentonindustries.com/

When I first heard of the introduction of the 6x42 S.S., I put together a table of currently available 6x scopes and extrapolated the specs for the new S.S. based on the 10x model.
