Very interesting. what are the details?

Atop this exceptional rifle, the Vortex AMG 1-10x24 34mm Super Short Riflescope, adorned with an EBR-9 First Focal Plane Reticle, rests within the precision-crafted Reptilia AUS optic mount. This American-manufactured scope, weighing a mere 18.85 ounces and measuring a compact 8.5 inches in length, ranks among the lightest and most compact scopes in its category. The EBR-9 Reticle, designed for close and medium-range engagements, combines an illuminated segmented circle dot for optimal visibility at 1x magnification with Christmas tree-style hold-overs for use at higher magnifications. Notably, this scope is currently exclusively available with the purchase of this rifle and optic package.

Buy the scope and they throw in a rifle for free! https://www.eurooptic.com/Daniel-Defense...24-FF.aspx

200 yard fixed parallax... wow they actually thought about what is actually useful. the normal 100 yard is quite the joke.

AMG = American Made Glass series yea? This should be a 100% made in USA scope? I wonder how the glass compares against the big oem like schott and hoya

The US makes some of the best optical glass in the world.

It just doesn’t typically go into riflescopes.

Instead, it goes into satellites, Lasers, electro-optical military aerospace systems for displays and sensors, microscopes, cameras, medical equipment, surveying equipment, etc.

Most DoD and State contracts require US-made equipment and there is very high demand for products that civilians never see unless they are closely associated with the programs.

Most rifle scope manufacturers don’t have the ability to purchase those optical glass lenses, nor could they afford many of them because the clarity and durability specifications are driven by really high performance for DoD, Aerospace, Medical, and other Instrument manufacturers. They might be able to buy some, but the cost of the scopes would rise astronomically.

So they get what they can from other sources.

Some of the DoD programs from the 1950s rival anything you see on the market now, since the optical elements needed to withstand temperature gradient extremes that would seem impossible even to most engineers today.

Yes, no doubt about it the USA can put the finest things in the worst environments and built it to hold up... the question is who did Vortex get to do it, and how good is it vs the high end "other guys" as this is a flagship product.

Vortex < NASA or DoD, especially if it's consumer market stuff.

I wouldn't be surprised if the military grade vs consumer had differences (of supposedly the same product) be it extra testing or different glass oem.
