Well, it looks like Swaro Z6 got some serious competition (although I'd like to see some specs on these new Magnus scopes).
On the surface, I like the configurations. I think they make a lot of sense. ILya

I found the specs on the UK site:
and they look good. Interestingly, these scopes have the motion sensor activated illumination, apparently. The numbers also indicate that tunnel vision at low magnifications is unlikely. ILya

Funny you should mention the Magnus series, as I just saw that announcement on their website earlier this morning while looking up specs on the ER scopes. I imagine they're extremely nice scopes, and no doubt are priced accordingly. I like the power range & objective configs they chose to go with! Interesting they went with a 6.7:1 zoom ratio, evidently aimed at one-upping Swaro a little.
I have little doubt 3X and 4X erector variable scopes will gradually become the minority design as more manufacturers get on the high zoom ratio bandwagon. I wouldn't be surprised to see Zeiss be the next to introduce a 6X or greater scope series within the next couple years.

Tube length looks fairly short?

The 1.5-10x42 looks very interesting to me. Hope to be able to look through one soon.

Those are great mag ranges and complementary objective sizes. They do look fairly compact for all that.

Reaction time is a factor...

I hereby volunteer to test a 1.5-10 in actual unbiased hunting situations.
Several seasons would allow a more detailed analysis.
I will waive my standard fee. I will donate my time for the betterment of the shooting community.
PM me for address to send scope.

Hopefully they'll post specs soon... I do agree that the 1-6.3 does look a bit short on length...

Just got off the pipe with Leica,scopes won't be here till the summer.I have an ER scope & they have no info as to what the differences are only that they are to co-exist with each other.
No specs or prices either.Literature will also not be in till summer.

Sorry, it is a 1,5-10. But why are they so heavyweight??? Like S&B scopes.
