New vortex StrikeEagle 1-6 sub $400???

I hear Vortex Optics is launching a new 1-6x24 scope called the StrikeEagle at SHOT show. It will have a new "AR-BDC" reticle designed with 3-gun type competitor shooting in mind (see photo below). It will weigh in around 17.6 oz and will MSRP at $429 which means it should be sub $400 when it hits the streets.

This is going to be a game changer for the entry level scope market! I can't wait.

Oooh! That sounds like a neat competitor to the Primary Arms 1-6x with similar reticle:

I bet it's meant to compete directly with the primary arms scope. I have one of those and its a lotta scope for the money. I do like and trust vortex more so then primary Arms simply because I have met several of their employees at completions. Vortex customer service is too notch too.
