I'm speculating a little because the wheel doesn't have external detents like the current -- it looks smooth.March, White Oak Armament and Athlon all make 1-4.5x24 LPVOs with side focus.
March also makes a 1-8x24 and two 1-10x24 scopes with side focus (one Dual Focal Plane and one SFP).
Atibal has a SFP and FFP 1-12x30. I haven't watched or read any real world reviews.
Then there is the no longer extant Styrka 1-6x24. I believe there are still some floating around. I have a couple that go on indoor winter practice guns. Have been closed out for as little as $200 each for the illuminated versions. I grabbed two at that price. Nice for winter indoor practice. Not my favorite scopes out in the woods due to duplex reticle and capped turrets.
I have thought about picking up one of the Leupold LPVOs and re-adjusting the parallax. I like them for their lightweight and generally longer eye relief. But based on minimal experience I doubt I'd want to use them for indoor practice.
I will be very curious to see what specs Hawke publishes later this week.
Is the speculation of side focus due to the bulkier illumination knob?
Mostly wish casting though
