Beers78n9 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I read about this in a magazine a year or so ago and completely forgot about it until I just came across it while browsing swfa.com. I was wondering, would this put you in to Open Class? It is a magnified optic, and it has a separate red dot. But, technically its one optic.

wannabe Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 That thing is cool. I do not think it would put you in open, you would still be using only one optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 There is a hint is in the name... "DUAL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yeah, I have to agree with Rigger on this optic. Since it states there it is a dual optic sight, it would probably be classed as two. That is awesome and I would love to try one out though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Agree that would put you in Open. There are TWO optics there in one mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beers, I wish you had put the price in your posting ($1500), that would have saved me the time of clicking on the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming the Merciless Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Even though it only has a single ocular, it has two objective lenses which would put it in Open. If it only had a single ocular and objective then it would be OK for Tactical, just as any other multi-power or multi-reticle scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it only had a single ocular and objective then it would be OK for Tactical, just as any other multi-power or multi-reticle scope This is so new I don't think the rules really cover it. Its clearly just one optic but it does the funciton of two optics. I personally don't like how its set up with the red dot view on top. Don't like having to break cheek weld.

Pat I don't think the red dot is on top. I think when you flip the lever it switches what you are using. Look through the red dot type scope, throw the lever and the view switches to the scope, you look through the same part. I could be wrong but thats how it looks to me. Interesting idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkid17 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 two scopes one view, check the vid on YouTube it sums it up nicely. I would think that if it is an all in one scope and reflex with the same view window you may be able to sneak it through for a bit with some arguing, but eventually there will be a language change in the rules to make it open class. I would be interesting to know for certain though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschultz Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Only one sight window it should be treated just like any other 1x4 or other scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 This can and probably will be argued both ways. But in it's action, it doesn't seem to be any different than any other zoom scope - you still have to mechanically change the power. The advantage in an open dual optic setup is that you can leave the scope at power and use the separate dot scope for close up. Each optic can be set to a different zero as well and that is something that the Krueger may or may not be able to do. If not, then part of the advantage of the system is already lost.

shooting for M Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just check out the Kruger website. The holographic sight and the 2-8 are independently adjustable. It will be an interesting ruling when it happens but I would put my money on Open only. However, I just read on a different thread about super hi cap magazines Mr. Horner say something to the effect that open is more of a shotgun and pistol thing than a rifle thing. I didn't see a weight on thier website, but SWFA had it listed at <30 ounces. Hmmm, is the future of 3gun scoes here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
