Let’s just step back and use some common business sense. I am saying this MIL THLR reticle S2H scope will be what it is. But if you are trying to convince me that Ryan and Form, just out of principle, will prevent ZT from applying the reliable drop proof design to other models or moa scopes, you are bat shit crazy. ZT is in this to make money. Also, wouldn’t this be what everyone wants? Companies like ZT to push create some competition with NF and Trijicon and SWFA? Why are people so passionate about MIL vs MOA? I shoot both and kill a bunch of critters with both.
ahhhh...ok.
Well, that's really two different conversations.
Sure, I would agree that Zero Tech can probably use the general designs of the scope body itself. I mean, they could have at any time before now also.....along with any other company that LOW builds scopes for.
Their is already multiple scopes on the market that LOW builds, that other companies sell, that are reliably drop proof, with at least somewhat similar specs, in both MIL and MOA reticles of different kinds. So yeah, I'm sure if they choose they can build a Zero Tech scope, of similar specs, with some kind of MOA reticle, and compete with everyone else in that general space. That isn't anything hugely unique, and nothing has ever stopped them from doing this.
But to be pretty obvious, what everyone is talking about here, is the S2H version of the scope with the modified THLR reticle. That is the "project". What everyone is saying, is that the chances of seeing a scope with S2H badging, with the modified THLR reticle in MOA is basically nothing......
The reticle makes the scope......without the reticle, it still appears to be a good scope at a good price, but its nothing hugely unique.
Maybe we will find out at some point, but I would guess it was some kind of concession to just have the "standard" MIL reticle also in the scope.
