NIcely Done CF II !
 
Keep in mind that things really sharpen up when you mount an optic on a  platform with the scope and your eyes in a fixed orientation.

Look at the edge to edge difference between the Leupold and the HD... you can see the the details of the little light so much better in the HD than in the leupold.  WOW!

Didn't make it today, world went to hell - as it sometimes does.


Someone do a thorough review of the thing so I can decide if I need a new gun to justify a new scope!

Koshkin should have one by Friday and Michael McDonald is picking up two on 5Rs tomorrow.  They should be posting by next week with their impressions.

I am currently down with flu, but I should be more mobile by the weekend.

I'll take it out to the range together with the regular 10x42 SS and the 3-9x42 SS.  

That should be fun!

Will there be higher magnifications available?  I like the quality of glass on my 20x, but it is dim around dark. 

Maybeeeee 20x or higher?  Is side focus coming to the HD series as well?  I like the rear focus for it's handy-ness, but I think side focus also looks better.  I'm a visual person sometimes. Loco

 Okay, that's pretty good!
 
 Did CFII accept Trays' offer, or did he hold out for more sprinkles?

For the pictures on page 4, does it make a difference that the focus of the camera is very different for the 10x HD than the other 4 scopes?   Seems very different that the other scopes have a crisp, detailed parking lot off the the right side but the 10x HD the parking lots is very blurred.

More pictures for us to see?

 I appreciate the photos , but would never choose one scope over another based solely on them.
Especially when looking through a tinted window in full daylight.
 Hands on in the real world is the ONLY way to really get a feel for optical performance.

Be patient guys we know they just landed ---- this stuff will all come together.  Bear in mind that the 10x was not designed for the general public----- these are a few extra ones that were built riding on a military special order, and the few that there are is all there ever will be.

The HD is actually $799.95. If you were one of the ones quoted the wrong price of $699.95 contact me through PM with any questions.
