Shot Show 2017 - anything looking forward to?

[voodoo_man]

I just started an IG account last week. Most of what I follow thus far is gun related. Holy shot show, I feel like I'm there

post your ID so we can stalk, I mean follow you.

Yeah that 1-8 trijicon is sweet as fuck looking. If the glass is more clear than their 1-4 accupower then they just won the internet for shot.

Still waiting for aimpoints micro/rmr style rds...

btw, I'm not there, so SHOT sucks this year.

I have not used an Accupower yet. Did they take a step back from the Accupoint versions? My 1-4 and 2.5-10 are both very good optically. I agree the trillium is a little dim unless almost completely dark but clarity they are right with equivalent Leupolds and Vortex optics.

trillium? Must be a new super secret squirrel mixture.

LOL AOTOKORECT at 80mph.

Tritium not trillium

I am about half way through typing up my review of the accupower. It has a really good eye box and the glass is comfortably clear.

It has its limitations thought.

Well I'm not much to follow, and probably disappointing to stalk, but it's blackfrost18

Two things I wanted from SHOT that didn't happen:

Nightforce 1-8 announcement.

UBR gen 2 release.

Meanwhile, please get The Fix into the wild.

For whatever reason that cheesy lettering job on the side of the new PST 1-6 is strikingly similar to the strike eagle......and it seems to be like an overpriced SE with a razor reticle.....idk maybe I'm just disappointed in the industry as a whole for the 2017 optic offerings.

I like the "duty" package from agency arms. Wish glock released the g17m/g19m

Have you looked through the new pst 1-6? It's basically the razor in a cheaper tube. Glass is excellent, with the same huge eye box, no distortion, and aimpoint bright illumination.

Fledge, the NF 1-8 was at the show, just not on display to the general public. Estimated release is mid year.

Thanks! Any word on the UBR gen 2? I guess at this point any word would be doubted anyway.

I wanted to see NF 1-8 too, glad it will be released this year potentially. Sounds like the Trijicon 1-8 was a disappointment to people. Maybe I'll sell my car for the NF and start riding a bike.

Sorry, I don't know. I'm waiting along with you on the UBR 2.

It's disappointing that the reticle and illumination aren't great, but this is reflected in the price. When you consider that the CQBSS costs $3000+ depending on reticle, the Trijicon is a comparatively good value since the dealer price is around $1100. Plus, the Trijicon reticle is certainly usable at 1x without illumination, so it's not all bad.

If you think you'll be using the Trijicon 1-8 at 8x a lot, then for the same price you can step into a NF 2.5-10x32 which will have a more comfortable eye box, much better reticle, and weigh less. The reticle in the Trijicon at 8x would drive me nuts.

Slippers, sounds like the Trijicon had etched glass is that true?

Yes, it's etched, but I'm curious what else you thought it might be?
