Dang it!

I didn't know about this one. Now I need one. The 5-20X I have is the ticket. I have no doubt this one will be as well.

Me too. I have the SS 5-20, I'm really leaning on a PST for a new rifle. Those both have great glass, but not being "HD" on this one has me curious.

The whole world will know. I'll spend a day with it on my range, provide a write-up, pics, maybe video.

I'm waiting on Skylar to reply to a PM.

I can't wait to hear a review. Particularly on the 3x side and confirming why this setup exceeds 4-16x options you have used (or not).

Multiplication. Used to be a multiplied magnification scope everyone had was 3-9X, three times three equals nine, so a multiplier of 3. 4-16 came around and 5-20, four times four equals sixteen, five time four equals twenty, six times four equals twenty four. We are slowly seeing the mutiplication value increasing, five times five, and this scope, three times five.

I do not have the expertise of Skylar on scope construction or physiology, but this is the trend I see. I suspect as you raise the multiplier you sacrifice clarity, thus the slow trend of the multiplier value increasing as glass technology improves.

Note: this is written by a shooter not an optics guru or salesman.

I think that Skylar just said that no one will get the scope before it's public release date. So no prerelease reviews.


for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype
