Brando; only March has been able to do high zoom ratios and mechanically, in a 34mm tube only 8x is possible in FFP.

It is easier to do in SFP hence the March 10x zooms (the 8 – 80x being the standout).

Love to know the S&B version still.

The vast majority of S&B scopes are FFP and this one is likely as well. And I suspect it has the same 34 mils of elevation that the newest version of the 3-27x has along with the price. Then again, it’ll be at least a year before any of these are available, so don’t hold your breath.

It’s a 2nd focal plane isn’t it?

“…..if it’s priced reasonably.”

Given that their current 5-25x56PMs go for $3,500 to $4,500?

And just what would be a “reasonable” for a scope from S&B?
