Hi Vic, Sounds like RTMC was a great success. The Nighthawk on the MI mount was a hoot! The SV115 in blue looks pretty nice. I'm tempted. At first look I ...

Good question. After NEAF we improved the 102APO by giving it the same dewcap and lens flange as the SV4. SO all our scopes now look the same and have the same...
