If the quality is good, they would be an amazing scope! FFP Range estimating reticle.

Made in Japan should mean it isn't total crap.

Probably made by Haako, though possible Light Optic Works.

I haven't actually seen one in person, but it seems unlikely that Micky Fowler would put his name on something less than decent.

can anybody find what the 10x fixed elevation adjustment range is?

Has anyone bought one of these, that can chime in, and give us a quality report? I'm curious as well!

for the cost of that aimpoint-esq clone, you might as well get the real thing

I wasn't aware Aimpoint had ballistic calibrated reticles. Is that what you meant Edlaver?

I work for them if anyone has a question.

I have one of their mini red dots. There must be a half a dozen MRDs made by the same Japanese conglomerate to slightly different specs and sold under different names here. I have no idea who Pride & Fowler are, but the fact that out of all the different brands of MRDs, theirs was the one that had exactly the features I demand makes me believe that they are men of taste and refinement.

I also have 1--the 3-9X 22 Long Rifle RR. It's on my AR, and i just matched subtension to trajectory. It's my favorite ballistic reticle, and my second favorite rangefinding reticle (just behind the Leup. TMR). It's a good scope, well made.

I don't know one owner who isn't completely satisfied with them. Hold over reticles are the way to go in my book. I plan on putting one on my next rifle.

Mickey Pride and John Fowler also designed the new Rapid-Z reticles for Zeiss.

They certainly look and sound good. I have been eyeballing them as well. :)

Had a friend test drive a P/F a few weeks ago. He said the reticle was like magic as he moved from target to target. The zero held and the reticle worked without milling out anything.

What's really got me interested is their Special Ops Auto (http://www.rapidreticle.com/sopsauto.htm). If battery life is decent, it would seem like the red dot to have, especially for the price. How about a pic of the reticle on it?

I've had the fixed 6x on my TC .22LR for about a year. I've had zero problems and love the glass. The reticle works great, now I just need to work on fine-tuning my range estimation!
