2017 Vortex Optics Releases

[42769vette]

Aww man, this coming right after I got two 6-24 refurbs. oh well, it's not like they were going to be anywhere near the delicious price of the refurbs anyways. Is the 1-6 going to be a ffp scope? And will you be doing some reviews when they are official announced? Thank you for your time. -Ben

The 1-6 will not be FFP. If it were FFP, I wouldnt really have much use for them. Your really dont want to do 1-? and FFP.

I doubt I do a review. I get tired of the people saying "your review is worthless because you sell them". I will personally run them, and I will talk about them, but I wont do an official "review"

Vortex makes quality products. I really like my crossfire 2 6-18

May I ask why not? I've just started to consider the 1-? scopes, and I don't know much about them.

 

[42769vette]

Absolutely.

FFP is mainly beneficial for ranging, and holdovers. On a 1-? FFP, the reticle has to be accurate. On 10-30x zom that is no issue, on a 1-? it makes for a very small reticle.

The backside to it is, MOST SFP scopes are accurate on the max power setting. So on a 1-4/1-6 unless your shooting something like a 9mm carbine, by hte time your shooting long enough distances to holdover, or measure range you will be on 4, or 6x anyways where the reticle is accurate. Basically if your shooting a 5.56 at 300 yds where you are starting to hold over, and you have a 1-4, you will be shooting on 4x, not 2x.

When your dealing with higher zoom scopes then you might be on a lower than max zoom, and need to holdover.

 

[CampingJosh]

Got it. That makes sense. Thank you.

I'm really looking forward to the 1-6 PST Gen 2 and the 3-15x44

Availability Spring 2017... any idea when in the spring?
I'm attending a 3 day precision rifle class in April and would really like a Gen 2 PST 3-15x44 on top of my new Ruger Precision 308

Nothing firm, but I would doubt you have it for the class. A good option would be to buy a refurb gen 1 4-16x50 for about 1/2 the cost of the 3-15. Use it until the 3-15 comes in, then sell the 4-16 for real close to the price you paid. The refurbs are stupid cheap. I have multiple shots across the US buying them, and flipping them.

email about refurb PST 4-16x50 inbound...

Keep an eye on this thread, and I will update it when Im accepting pre orders.

 

[seedubs1]

If its as as reliable as Aimpoints and Trijicons, that'll put it right in line with the market price wise, and open up a great new option.

I hope so!! I love my vortex.

Alan, any word on what's going into the PST Gen 2 1-6? Are these getting Japanese HD glass, or are they staying with a full Philippines build? Are they still being built in the Philippines?

 

[42769vette]

I believr they are still philippines glass and build, but to completely diffrent standards. Im not certain on that as i have been on the road for awhile, so i dont have access to all my info.

 

[seedubs1]

Thanks Alan. I'd be interested to know for sure what the changes are if you ever hear more.
