    New LR 'Scope

    Here you go...a new LR 'scope to the market. FFP. Milrad or MOA. Illuminated. Under USD1,100

    https://www.tractoptics.com/products...es?category=62

    I've got one of their 3-15 Toric scopes in customs at the moment.

    Looks good on paper. Schott is the same glass used in IOR yea? Always liked that glass.

    Yep - Schott makes the glass used in IOR scopes, as well as the glass top on my induction hob. Like most companies that make lenses, I suspect there are different grades of lens filling different pricing and quality niches.

    Specs sound good, will need to see a few reviews before I rush out and buy one.

    Although if they turn out to be rubbish, at 34 ounces can always use as a boat anchor!

    Yeah. I see that now. Obviously the yanks don't carry anything very far.
