They shorted you in the flair department.

Is there a plan for tracking zero with that scope?

I’m not much of a flare guy. I like black.

I don’t even know what “zero tracking “ really means to be honest.

I’m just using the hashmarks for right now. I’ll get to the dialing later.

Nothing to do with dialing or holdovers; just documenting or keeping track that once you have zeroed the scope/rifle at 100 yards (or whatever you zero at), it retains that zero going forward. @Justin Crossley has a good thread going, encouraging people to keep track of their zero. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/scope-zero-check-thread.386182/

The Swarovski on top is a surprise to me.

OK I see what you’re asking. I’ve been shooting a Swaro since 2022 so three seasons and I have not lost zero and I do occasionally drop my gun. I’ll check that thread out.

* edit, two seasons, haven’t checked the zero after last year.

Oh no! Say it ain’t so! I don’t think I could ever give up my 270wsm or shooting with hashmarks. You’ve officially gone to the dark side now.

The 6UM is the way.... Those muley deers don't stand a chance.

How do you like it for standing, kneeling and fast shots? Or maybe you haven't gotten there yet.

I have about 30 rounds through it, 10 of those from standing/off-hand shots at water jugs. With the negative comb it does shoulder too low for an immediate sight picture but it only took a few trys to get it right. This means I'm only putting the bottom half of the butt-pad on my shoulder but with the light recoil it's not an issue. I'll get used to it. Haven't shot kneeling but will get to that.
