Look back in the threads. There was a member here that got one not long back and did a perrty good review of it.

I have looked at them but passed because I don't like their reticles and some of their scope features. Hoping they bring more options online in the future so I can give them a try.

I have one. I think I got it at Optics Planet for cheaper than that with coupon codes. The glass is pretty clear, field of view seems pretty great, and I really like the cross hatch reticle. It seems like a pretty nice alternative to a strike eagle or primary arms quality level of LPVO. Durability is still an unknown.

i was thinking of the simple reticle, spear duplex

[mv1arms]

I don't have that one, but it's interesting. I wonder how bright the dot gets in full daylight since it's such a small illumination area.

will let ya know, its ordered

I ordered up that 1-8X Tomahawk deal on Black Friday since I needed a mount too. Looking forward to testing it out on my 16" 5.56. If nothing else, it is nice to get quick, clear, and legit information from the company itself. The Arrowhead is the next gen LPVO with locking turrets and NV compatible light levels. The top tier will arrive after Arrowhead and may take on the PA Gold line.

They seem like a company taking a solid approach the marketplace. I am most excited about their upcoming 2-12X with a Horus style reticle for my 12" grendel.

I read about that coming up in an arfcom thread... I have yet to see any info on their website about it. Do you have any more info?

[SKelt]

All the info I have seen on it is from the 17 page thread on arfcom. I have also been communicating directly with Mike Branson who is their Marketing Director, the 2-12X is going to be a good match for the 12" Grendel. If I can find the post with the reticle on it I will update my comment

i think he stopped posting reticles, due to issues from other optics companies, patents, and lawyers

Yep, he communicated to me over email that the 2-12X precision scope will feature the Sharpshooter MOA reticle. I grabbed these screenshots from their website..[ATTACH=CONFIG]15044[/ATTACH]

Awesome! I also thought the glass clarity and field of view was pretty good.

i can say that if i set it to max brightness in my garage, which has windows, the entire inside has a red halo, it can get bright

I've noticed the same with my 1-8, sucker gets extremely bright. Hoping to box test it this week or next

Price wise, it looks like the Tomahawk is in the Vortex Strike Eagle range? How does the glass compare? I was looking at that kentucky long to replace a Vortex Viper if the clarity is better. Just trying to gauge comparisons.

never had a strike eagle, but i am sure youtube has something, or maybe even arfcom

Pretty sure Arfcom has a comparison. Only Vortex I have is a 2-7 Crossfire on a Rimfire rifle so can't really comment on glass quality
