Will you be introducing a straight version of the ED2 in the future?

Yes. and 60mm version too.. lots of exciting new products coming in 2011.  Even though I have been intimately involved in the 82mm ED2 design, I am still amazed how well it turned out.  Much better than my wildest expectation.

Will you be presenting it at any of the sporstman shows?  Big Horn Show in Spokane?

I keep looking, just have not posted much.  I actually showed up just now with the thought of either linking that or posting a review.  I'll have another new brand of scope ready to include in the mix in a day or two and might post that three waycomparison here.

That would be great, Steve.
