[QUOTE="7Rumloader, post: 66339, member: 3640"] Here goes! [ QUOTE ] 1. Non-rotating ocular when power is changed OR integral lense cover with non-position sensitive release mechanism. Maybe a lense cover system thats screw in like a shade, a very short shade with a lid.) 2. Large "knobs" for elevation, windage and parallax (if parallax is an option) with caps that can be used or left at home. (Like Mark 4 type but with caps so tight transport options like scabbards and such don't screw things up.) 3. A "zero" stop. 4. Large tube (30mm minimum) but a small(ish) objective (40mm) so we can get a low mount. 5. Non/low change in eye relief on power change. 6. NON-canted reticle, quality reticle installation, not more than + or - 2 degrees or so. 7. Finish... matte OD would be a nice color option (Wish list: a slip on/around scopesleeve of heavy plastic with embedded color). 8. Power range(s), 2.5 x 10, 4 x 16, 6 x 24, ?? 9. Calibrated reticle(s), Mil-Dot, MOA, ?? (Wish list: Add enough dots/lines to the vertical component to allow use of the entire viewable reticle rather than "wasting" the top and bottom. Add enough lines/dots to the horizontal reticle to use it for fast movers, 10 20 30 mph (15 to 20 MILs lead). 10.
