Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

[Coleredding00]

Definite contender for the best Long Range capable hunting scope currently available. There are things I don’t like about it, like the length and the donut, but overall, mine has been excellent.

I’m stuck between this and an RS1.2.

RS1.2 has better hunting reticle. Very nice scope. Send it!

@Formidilosus: any experience with IOR? They used to be the cat's meow

Yes. All bad.

To that ... I can only say 'when' and 'where'?

Unless you mean on Tiborasaurus Rex videos ...

I've used a binocular, two scopes and a 3x prism from them, without problems. The scopes were fixed 4x and pretty awesome. I wondered if the variables were worth looking at? And from someone using them, not the general opinion of influencers.

Curious about the Primary Arms Optics PLx 1x8x24 Compact Scope with the ACSS Griffin Mil reticle.

I sent Form a SLX model 1x6x24. . I am sure it is in the list to test. If it passes I would assume the PLX would. I am not holding my breath and am hopeful it is not a total disaster and stays in paper.

The DOE NNSA OST guys, (that’s a mouthful), adopted the PLx 1x8x24 optic, and as I’m not sure what their testing protocols are, it’d be nice to see one tested by Form or someone else. Considering at least one of these as potential replacement for my Razor 1-6x on my 12.5” AR-15 and possible use on some other of my rifles.

Aaron Cowan (Sage Dynamics) dropped it on concrete from chest height 4 times over the course of 2,000 rounds and it held zero. Certainly bodes well.

Would also like to see a Vortex AMG 6-24x50

I tried to run one for multiple prs seasons. I think from 2019-2022. The CS was incredible, but the thing was always broken, and the zero was always wandering. At one point I had 3 in my living room. I probably went through 10 or 12 of those scopes in 3 years. In 2022, I adjusted zero a couple tenths on the fresh paint of the first stage of nearly every match. I was in the running at the finale of a little regional series and the scope completely let go. After that I moved on. The engineers at vortex were not receptive to the fact that the scope design did not work. The customer service people asked me to talk to the engineering department multiple times. The engineers didn't want to hear it.

Have the Steiner H6s been tested?

Have the Steiner H6s been tested?

I messaged Form and Ryan several months ago about sending one in for testing.
Form said he would be interested in testing one and I never heard back from Ryan.

Send me another message.

Can we see a Steiner h6xi?

Another vote for the Leica Amplus 6 also.

How are the high magnification Mavens? Are they are solid as the lower magnification?
What about the 2.5-20 NF?

Does a company that makes one or a few scope that passes the scope eval generally make all their products as good?

 

[ME180]

Has the Vortex Razor gen3 1-10 been tested? It also passed Sage Dynamics drop test.

Usually. Not in Maven's case. Yes in NF/Trij/SWFA case.
