Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn. Equality is something you whine about not being given. |

The Weaver is not looking too good but the Vortex looks to be off the charts.
But then again it better be if it is coming in at the rumored $2K.

I have had some corespondence with ATK Technical Services by on my military e-mail account and provided some feedback regarding concern that the scopes should include certain other features like more internal adjustment. Here are copies of the reply. I invited Dale to visit us here on OT and told him we welcome the input of manufacturers like ATK.
Dale Radcliffe Here is what I have:
4-20 = 50MOA 3-15 = 60MOA The current mildot scopes are graduated in MOA and the detents are 1/4 MOA. Detent clicks on the adjustment turrets are .25MOA (this 0.26 inches so very nearly 1/4" at 100 yards) Eye relief is 4in at 4x and 3.9in at 20x Parallax is 25 yards to infinity. Thanks, Dale Radcliffe ATK Technical Services -------------------------------------------------- 9-28-09Hi Wes, Just wanted to pass along to you we are coming out with a higher end tactical line of scopes for mid to late season 2010 per a conversation I just had with Tom. I cannot provide you with any details yet on these as this information is unavailable but will have a much broader adjustment range as you are looking for and will be first focal plane. We are also releasing a proprietary mil dot reticle in 1st focal plane. Thanks, Dale Radcliffe ATK Technical Services |

I'll probably want to handle a Vortex before I drop $2,000 on one, that market segment is too filled with great stuff now.
Their niche has been putting good gear on the market at a good price; if this new scope is a run for Premier, USO, S&B and - somehow - Hensoldt, I'll buy. Anything short of that, I'll wait till the price comes down. I know they are anxiously awaited, interested to see if the hype is justified. |
