Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

[BjornF16]

Ryan has uninterrupted video of the NF holding zero through the 36” drops as well as the Maven losing zero from each 18” drop, and the Trijicon holding zero through the entire drop eval in the exact same rings that were never removed from the rifle. I’m happy to do the same for the Vortex when it comes back.

I’m hoping that Trijicon Tenmile proves durable for the 3,000 round evaluation.

Being that the Credo HX is SFP (different erector), will you also put it through the 3,000 round Eval IF it survives the drop Eval?

How do you, and how important is a level reticle? Level to what?

Does this answer your question?

Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44mm Field Eval Q&A

I’m glad the scope did well. Gives me hope and another option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

meehhhhhh not really.

Are you asking how I level the reticle when mounting?

@Ucsdryder sent me over a screenshot of some people on a different forum saying that Vortex's evaluation of the Vortex LHT was that the scope was fine and the rifle/rings were broke.

LOL! You can lead a horse to water....

I will if we have the ammunition. Getting people that want to shoot a SFP scope is another problem entirely….

Yes

 

[Formidilosus]

Yes

Either a level on the rail and turret, a level on the rifle, a plum line and the reticle being aligned with it, or by eye. I can consistently align a reticle with the rifle to within the accuracy of commercial levels.


However, leveling has nothing to do with zero retention, and only if really out of plum with the rifle anything that will effect a 7’ish Mil “tracking test”. When I do the adjustment check, the target dots are level to the earth and the reticle is level to the target.

Yet the 2-10x36 Credo Is FFP. While the the 2.5-10x56 and 2.5-15x42 are SFP. Their lineup is, different.

I hope you are able to and will do that. That way if (or when) it fails again maybe it will wake them up.

My money is on them not waking up… one more data set will not erase delusion. Outside of Form’s test, there is plenty of data of vortex scopes dying from much less than Form puts them through

Denial is a powerful thing. $$$ invested in something can cloud one’s judgement pretty easily.

I would love to see one on a Tract scope. Either the 4-20 or new 2.5-15. I think this with the Credo would be very interesting to see as they are priced close.

 

[SDHNTR]

Agreed on the Tract Toric testing. They seem like a company (similar to Maven) that would be interested in improving and small enough to do something about it.

Also please add a Leica Amplus to the list.

 

[brn2hnt]

I would like to see the top reticles (in ffp) for general hunting use. Whatever scope they come housed in.

Preferably something not SWFA (due to their seemingly never-ending backorder)

What does Tract say about testing like this, and the value it might bring?

I seem to recall they had an early low end model that did not do well. Not one of their current models. No idea if they have changed internals. But on the good side, I believe they asked for it to be tested.

Give them a call and let's see if what you hear is the same as what I was told.

I don’t need a Tract tested, just sharing what I recalled. Though I have a Toric HD and it’s worked well, though never stressed tested. What did you hear?
