Another one for the OPTICS forum

I was reading that the new Aetecs while quite impressive are not going to have the five inches of eye relief which was one of their main draws. With this is mind I called yesterday and ordered one more of the old Aetecs. I got the 4X12 with the lighted rectial. They were clearing them out for 129.00. I have several Aetecs and they have been just plain perfect for me.

They may not have the eye relief of the old scopes but they sure are light and well designed.

James, I agree with you!

The new ones may be fine. I think they will be. ust wanted one more with the long eye reliefe for the 45-70's.

They might pick up on that small hint but yes the Aetecs are very good scopes for the price. Maybe you should get a couple

I was happy that the wife signed on for ONE more.

where are you getting them at that price????? I want one

I got this one at Natches Shooters Supply. I have ordered quite a bit of stuff on line there. The shipping and Insurance added about 12.00 dollars to the price. I don't know how many they have left. They had some of the 2.8X10 as well. None of the new ones yet.
