EDgun scopes

From Strelok: “This is just note for owners of scopes with variable power”-
Igor Borisov
A fixed power scope is a second focal plane, which means the sizes of the reticle is not determined by the magnification. The reticle dimensions are determined by the manufacture. So the EDgun scope is calibrated at 10X, which means that even though the magnification is 12X the reticle is still properly calibrated within the MIL-DOT system at 10X. One MIl is 3.6″ at 100 yards or 10CM at 100 meters. Bottom line the reticle is properly calibrated. Hope this helps.
The SWFA weighs 21 oz
Hawke : 6-24X44 19 oz
Athlon Optics Talos BTR 4-14X44 : 23.5 oz
MTC Viper connect 24 oz
Sightron 10X42 MMD 19.5 oz

So as you can see the EDgun scope is within a few ounces of the major competitors in the bullpup market. The list is the common scopes used on a lot of bullpups here on TAG. Secondly you will not find a 44 mm OBJ scope much lighter. So if weight is so important I would suggest looking at a 32 or 24 MM OBJ. The average weight of a quality 42-44 MM OBJ scope will be in the neighborhood of 20 oz.

I used to cycle a lot. I was in a club. Most new people could be spotted because they would obsess over every ounce the could shave off their bike. At some point one of us older members would point out an obvious fact, it is easier for the rider to lose a couple ounces rather than the bike.

In closing I never said 800 bucks, that is not the price of a SWFA 10×42 side focus SS scope.

A 21 oz. Ed Gun scope for a bullpup rifle I consider to be quite heavy and then add the assumed price around $800.00 U.S. dollars
added on , regardless how nice this scope is said to be ? I wonder what those who really know the ins and outs on the true quality
that this scope is said to be ? Is it really worth a $800.00 price tag and do they think that this scope is too heavy ? ❓ ❓ ❓

FROM : THE BIRDMAN

They weigh .6 kg or about 21 oz, as far as where they are made, I believe they are from China, or at least the housing is. Rest assured I will do a full review video when I get them which will include tracking, return to zero and mechanics.

As far as size I posted the specs above, you’ll have to convert if from MM to in if you are still on the imperial system. Just for a point of reference the side focus SWFA 10X42 weighs 21 oz also.

I sent an email to Igor Borisov (Strelok) to ask why it is listed like that. He usually answers me in a day or so…

12x fixed calibrated for 10x?

EDgun MPR2 reticle:

I have a few on order and enroute. I have not seen this scope in person yet but from the specs I think it will be a nice addition to any airgun but it would be especially happy on top of your EDgun!

As for price I predict it will be competitive with the SWFA. I reserve the price until I see how much Uncle Sam wants.

Tony,

prior to adding names to a waiting list can you provide specs and prices.

I am going to ask Tony to check into it.

Thanks.

+1 Specs are everything. And price!
