There are more questions about that rifle than the scope in that post.

The bling Cerakote isn’t my thing, but in a different color I could really like a Weatherby.

$1400-$1500. They’ve priced them a little below NF NXS and quite a bit above SHV. I do like the features and design, but it better be relatively bomb proof and dial flawlessly at that price point.

Real world pricing at retailers will be $1000-$1050, and I'd bet right off the bat without much work one could get one for $800-$900.

Valid point, but it’s still comparable to NF SHV at that price point and thus needs to perform well (I.e. dial well and be rugged).

The scope I have is FFP and MOA.

This scope is not available in FFP.

Yes, per the product manual: “This model features a Second Focal Plane reticle design.”

 

[ChrisAU]

I've heard from others that FFP will be coming though.

You are correct mine is SFP and MOA. I have three preproduction scope here and confused them.

Thanks for the photos.

I know everyones (mine too) first instinct is to judge and gripe about what coulda shoulda, but I'll wait until I have one in hand and get to actually use it first. Or else you just turn into that internet poster who B's and moans and yells at clouds.

Props to Vortex for taking a stab at this market.

What are your thoughts on dialing and functionality?

In for an Mrad hsr-5i. Checks all my boxes other than hoping for an 18 top end. But being SFP 15 is probably better anyway. Glad to see e good eye relief since it’s going on a big 30

This. Have you done a tracking test? How are the turret clicks? Tactile and audible?

Good guess!

I won’t be buying one but it’s nice to see they are listening to their customer base because it sure has a lot of good features on paper.

Sooo what IS the other pre-production scope you have that is FFP???

Here are my thoughts. This is in no way a final review on the scope.

I did a TT test with my very accurate 6CM on Box to Bench target. Up to 25 MOA and back down, the scope tracked true. But most new scopes do. I then dropped the scoped rifle 12" on a foam z pad on all three sides of the scope. After each drop, I would check zero. It held zero on all sides but the focus knob side. I re-zeroed dropped the rifle again and it held zero. I did the same test with the X5, NX8 and the Maven RS.3 and had no POI shifts.

I really like the reticle and the rather simple zero stop. The weight is fantastic IF it can hold zero.

I don't like the windage clicks they are VERY soft, you almost can't feel them. But I don't think Vortex designed it to dial in windage.

The elevation turret clicks feel a little mushy but usable.

Lots to like about this scope but I still need more time with it to say I would buy one.

Specs look good but I'd prefer FFP with a 15x top end.

Wonder where they are made?

I’m not excited about mushyness but also don’t care as much about turret feel as some. Otherwise this is almost perfect. Glad it’s SFP personally
