This really failed because a vortex strike eagle 1-8 weights 17.6 oz and they used a carbon fiber tube only cut 1.6 oz off? what a shame

The CF scope is a 3x18x56 at 26.5oz and the advantages are that compared to the Leupold the CF has 100moa vs 75moa. Weight isn’t the advantage even though it’s a comparable weight to most scopes in its class. The advantages will be the features and price points for USA made products. http://www.Cfscopes.com is just getting started. They have a long ways to go but it’s a great start!

Editor: The Kruger website AND the official photo says the scope is a 3-18x50mm, just as our article states. See: http://www.krugeroptical.com/kc6.htm

As for the 100 MOA elevation — we did not state an elevation figure for the Kruger Scope.

I’m curious how these are made given that sheets of woven material are the starting point. How do you transition from a larger cone to a smaller tube without a significant compromise. And how is the conical objective housing tube formed without either thinning out material, or reverting to the paper cotton candy tube technique.

2nd focal plane? Sorry, I’ll pass.

Reading the company history on their website, it appears the scopes are engineered in the U.S. but sourced from China. Perhaps they are assembled here.

Seems like if this were so revolutionary they would have licensed it out to everyone and made a lot more money than trying to start their own company.
