Goodbye FSQ, Hello????

Well even though website such as Anacortes and OPT still advertise the FSQ it pretty much a certainty that Takahashi intends to replace the FSQ,,but with what. Even dealer I have contacted have verified this but they don't even know anything more. Takahashi sure likes to keep a lid on things. I even decided to fore go putting my name down for a TEC-140 in anticipation that the replacement maybe a larger aperture FSQ type. I heard a rumour that the reason Takahashi replaced their Fluorite line of scopes (including the FSQ) was because the material is hazardous to work with..truth or fiction only people like Roland could confirm.

Sorry..I know this subject has been done to death but I loved my FSQ but I didn't realise it until I sold it now I want another one but they are no longer available so the possible replacement has got me very interested.

I think that there are still a few around that you can get. And they will pop up periodicall on Amart.
I owned one and now wished I would have kept it :C

There has been discussion on other groups about this. Herb (?) at Anacortes did mention that there is 'something' in the works.

And I had read that flourite is considered an environmental hazard and has been banned, or seriously limited, in Japan.

You will have your FSQ this Spring.
